This is a supplementary course to GSTM 105 and GSTM 205. This course will require students to be involved in any turfgrass management projects on the SUNY Delhi College Golf Course, athletic fields and other college turfgrass grounds and facilities. With guidance from the instructor/golf course superintendent, students will have a choice of what projects they participate in. Some project examples include, but are not limited to golf course/athletic field construction (greens, tees, pitcher’s mound etc.), irrigation installation and repairs, drainage installation, turfgrass cultural practices, golf course/athletic field daily operations, etc. Students will be expected to show a progression from the basic tasks learned in GSTM 105. Students will also gain advanced managerial skills as they will be required to train GSTM 105 and GSTM 205 students on various turfgrass management tasks. A large portion of this course will include the calibration, mixing and application of turfgrass chemicals.
