The inaugural Turf Under Research Field Day, ‘TURF Day’, took place at Olds College’s Prairie Turfgrass Research Centre on August 27th. Lead researcher Katie Dodson, along with Laura Chaves, Jim Ross, Cory Mossing and the rest of the research team, hosted about 75 participants from a wide cross-section of the industry for a full day of research plot tours, displays, educational seminars and a free lunch!

In the last Turf Line News, I reported on a collaborative educational project involving support of teens living with FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders). Rob Welsh, Jason Hooper, Byron Duffy and I delivered a 3 day session in May to 7 teens about greenskeeper skills. The ultimate goal of this was to see at least one of them successfully working on a golf course this summer. At this sessions’ completion, one student commented, “This was the best day of my life!”.
