A very productive day even though we took it a little easy in the afternoon.

Thank you to Kaisy and Mr Vincent Kwok for a very interesting visit to the golf course to look at the issues of turfgrass management at Nansha Golf Club.

This was especially helpful since we had just completed our study of the functional qualities of turfgrass. I think the extra time spent with the experts who know about the local conditions was very valuable for all of us. I certainly learned a lot from this session.

The work we missed?…mei guangxi…no problem we can catch up.

Next time (Saturday) we will catch up with some of the work we missed, which was to develop a clear understanding of what remains for the project. I think we will have another practice at using the Mindmap to create a clear picture of what must be included within the group projects.

I also want to give some help with study areas for turfgrass visual and functional qualities and to share some slides that will help with the presentation of your golf facility development master plans.

We’ll be missing one or two classmates at the weekend, so I might hold back on the remainder of the turfgrass work until they return on Tuesday.

Friday looks good already. I’m spending the morning with Kaisy and Sabrina looking over the mountain course in the morning and then I think I need to catch up with some work from back home.

Also the STRI Green Performance Appraisal video we tried to look at in class is quite difficult to locate on the STRI website so here is a direct link to it.

Have a relaxing day off on Friday.

Regards

John
