Putting Green Workshop: Focusing on the FundamentalsZach Nicoludis, United States Golf Association
February 11: 1:00 – 4:00 pm
Putting greens are hands down the most important playing surface on a golf course. The foundation of a sound agronomic program must be built on fundamental practices. This workshop will focus on the fundamental practices that are critical for balancing turf health and playability on putting greens. Topics that will be covered include: cultural management practices, water management, disease management, and optimizing growing environments.

We’ll also dem-onstrate calibration of backpack sprayers as a hands-on demonstration. This course will cover many topics that entry-level employees (and those that need a refresher) will need to know for the 2020 season.
WORKSHOP DIndiana Accredited Horticulturist (IAH) Review and ExamJim Messmer, Vincennes University, retired

Diagnosing Landscape Problems: A Stepwise Approach will teach the steps of problem diagnosis, including tips for proper identification of the host, as well as key symptoms and signs to help identify plant diseases and other problems on trees, shrubs, and turf. There are many look-alike problems and expression of symptoms is a dynamic process — with symptoms changing in appearance over time. This interactive session will combine photos with hands-on diagnosis of samples in a stepwise approach to problem solving. This hands-on workshop will conclude with a review of the samples, allowing you to self-test your knowledge of the problems presented.
