Upcoming Events for Turf Students

Spring Break is probably on the top of the minds for all students in the near future. This week the Turf Club board has been conducting interviews with some of the first year turf students who are showing interest in the Presidents position for next year. All candidates were excellent to interview and this shows the strength of the Turfgrass students and the program. Thanks to those who showed interest in running for the Presidents position.

Monday February 11 the second and third year Turf students will be coming together for personal speeches and nominations from students to represent Olds College Turfgrass Program at the WCTA Conference in early March. They will be accompanied with Instructor and WCTA Director Jason Pick who will also be presenting at the conference.

February 14, we are welcoming some assistant superintendents from around Alberta to come and share there expertise as an Annual Assistant Panel Q & A. The assistants that will be here are Cameron Watt from Kananaskis Country Golf Course, Ryan Cassidy from Heritage Pointe Golf and Country Club, Mike MacKinnon from Priddis Greens Golf and Country Club, Evan Olauson from Silvertip Golf Course, Dwayne Epp from Stewart Creek Golf and Country Club, and Adam Champion from Grewywolf Golf Course. At the assistants panel the Turf Club will also announce the new President for the 2013-2014 school year.
