Class Today: Equipment Day

Today’s class was conducted at the OTF Research and Educational Center and the theme was to become more familiar with the types of mowers used for maintaining putting greens and mowers that are used for higher cuts of turf including primarily golf course roughs but also for athletic fields and landscapes.  We concluded class with the “Grand Prix of Turf” where students went “off road” to identify turf equipment objects or properly set up tee-markers using an alignment tool they build during class.  The results are listed below along with a select few videos.  As a note John Averman and Adam Sharp were rewarded with the best “tee-marker” setup by the judges.
