Building a fertiliser plan for beginners
Aimed at assistants, first assistants and deputy heads who have never had the responsibility of building a fertiliser programme for their golf course, this class is also suitable for newly appointed course managers or those who want a refresher on the topic. Initially there will be a teaching session on the role of nutrients, different sources of nutrition available, soil tests and calculating nutrient input. The final part of the class will be interactive and attendees will put together a fertiliser programme for themselves and the results will be discussed. A relaxed day where there are no wrong answers!
