Olds College Turf Club

An essential part of Turfgrass programs at colleges and universities across North America is the Turf Club, and Olds College is no exception. It's a chance for us as members of the same industry and the same class to get together, socialize, and talk all things golf. This year, I was proud to be a member of the Olds College Turf Club. President Dane Gregoraschuk, along with Sean Brown and Cam Champion, led the club.

The 2010-11 Olds College Turf Club

 
One of the highlights of the year was our opening round of golf at the Olds Central Highlands Golf Club.  This was an excellent chance to meet the first years and reunite with fellow students. This course is a fantastic run with two unique nines. The front nine is more of a parkland style course, whereas the back nine is a links style. Both make for an excellent round and I highly suggest checking it out if you are in the area.

All the returning students are looking forward to next year and to what we can accomplish. For updates on what the club is doing, go to the Olds College Turf Club blog. I plan to occasionally write articles for that blog as well. You can read my first article, Audubon International - Cooperative Sanctuary Program, which is a summary of a presentation given to the second year students by Travis Ekelund, Assistant Superintendent of Earl Grey Golf Club.
