A high quality one-day general educational workshop is designed to best meet the needs of individuals who work on Minnesota golf courses.

This workshop will specifically address the unique educational needs of golf course employees who maintain turf, landscape, and aquatic features.

Turf and landscape management at golf courses is unique in the different types of turf, how the turf
is maintained and management of landscape plants and type of disease, weed and insect situations. Turf and landscape plants management requires a very high level of intense management with extensive technology and expertise needed.

Golf course water features of small ponds, fountains etc, require quite different pest management practices, legal concerns, safety and environmental considerations than Minnesota’s lakes, streams, rivers and wetlands.
