The Olds College Turf Club display case in the Land Science
Center on campus has been in need of a renovation for quite a few years.
Starting at the end of the last school year, Andrew Leggett and I began to
develop a plan to redo it. In collaboration with the program coordinator Dave
Moroz, we constructed a cross section of a USGA specification green. This
included the clay subgrade, trenched in drain tile, 4” of a gravel drainage
blanket, 2” choker or intermediate layer, and 12” of rootzone mix, with an
artificial turf on the surface. The Flag with the new Turf Club logo was
supplied by Brett Young & Standard Golf. The plan is for current and future
members of the Turf Club to continually bring golf balls with their course logo
to be placed on permanent display.
