Turf Education Day at Tewantin Noosa Golf Club

A Turf Education Professional Development Seminar was held on Monday 3^rd September 2012 at Tewantin Noosa Golf Club.

The morning started with a presentation from Dr Brett Morris the Course Superintendent from The Brisbane Golf Club. Brett provided a very informative presentation relating to course technology, turf and environmental issues. Brett advised the meeting of new grass species and new products on the market. The managers said it was great to hear someone speak with such passion regarding the golf industry. The feedback received from all managers was that they found the session very informative.

The golf was optional however the majority of the 24 attendees enjoyed a round of golf at the beautiful Tewantin Noosa Golf Club.  The event for the day was a 4BBB Stableford and the winners of the day were Jason Looker (Caloundra) and Cameron Harvey (Pacific) with 45 points on a count back from Nigel Smyly (Nambour) and Rick Anderson (Nudgee). Third place went to Tim Gnech (Lakelands) and Sharon Purnell (Mt Coolum) with 44 points.

On behalf of GMAQ I would like to express thanks to Allan Harris for hosting a great day, the course was in fantastic condition.

Look forward to seeing you all at Redland Bay Golf Club for the Annual General Meeting on Monday 15^thOctober.
