Sunday 24th March 2013

A very good day today thank you.

We finally got the mindmap of assessment areas completed and I am happy that we did, because we can now concentrate on getting on with the project knowing exactly what we need to cover within it. It should be easy now to look at the mindmap and discover what we have completed and what is still to do.

I know that you still have some concerns over the volume of content that seems to be required for completion of these units, but don’t worry as we will be covering this work step by step over the days to come and I will share some tools and ideas with you for presenting this information in a very concise, yet high quality way.

We now have 3 teams which I think is a good number and makes each team a good, manageable size with plenty of ideas to share. It was very pleasing to see the each group working so hard and so collaboratively today.

Also today we had a look at the typical construction process of a USGA green. I hope that this will give you confidence to understand what lies under your feet every time you make a good putt!

As always I will leave the ppts on the classroom computer in a folder with the date.

On Tuesday we have some extra work for information only on some of the processes going on in plants and soil. I also have a short presentation on some of the more common greenkeeping practices. I don’t know if we will have time to cover it all, or if I will be feeling healthy enough after Monday night, but we’ll give it a try.

I’d like to cover this material with you while we still have Sabrina with us, as she has a thorough understanding of this subject and can help me when I reach my limits!

6th April will be the day for presenting your final projects and I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with. It certainly looks very promising from what I could see today.

So Mango Tree, Kung Fu Bears and Eagles will be moving into the golf development business soon I think.

Regards

John
