The recent AGCSA workshop series featured presentations from Steve Isaac of the R&A and Daryl Sellar of Turfwise Consulting focussing on sustainable golf course management.

The workshops went to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, with great numbers attending in each city, and comprising Course Superintendents, General Managers, Club Pros, Course Architects, and committee/board members.

Turfwise is coordinating some greens renovation trials on behalf of the South Australian Golf Course Superintendents' Association (SAGCSA). Based at Mt Barker Golf Club (Superintendent Sam Sherriff), the work is assessing the effects of a variety of renovation techniques on older green profiles.

The results will be discussed at the SAGCSA meeting in February.

Gliderol Stadium (Glenelg Oval) is undergoing a comprehensive refurbishment to improve playing conditions for football and cricket.
