Turfgrass students symposium
November 1, 2009On November 27, 2009 the turfgrass students of Guelph University will be holding a symposium at the Cutten Club in Guelph. The symposium will be based on doing more with less: turf in tough times. The day will consist of speakers who are knowledgeable in the turf field. The speakers will be talking about doing more with less based on turf. Topics like the pesticide ban, and the economy will be discussed and how we could deal with them and what we could do to fight the effects of these topics.
The speakers will consist of: Keith Bartlett- Superintendent at St. Georges Golf and Country Club, Ron Schiedel- Co-owner of Green Horizons sod farms, and Dr. Tom Hsiang- Professor in Pathology. These industry professionals will be giving the problems we are facing today and the potential solutions. With having these professionals giving their opinion and also facts about the industry, it will give us a better understanding of what we can do to make our situation more promising.
By having knowledgeable industry professionals speaking at the symposium it will bring credibility and professionalism to the event. We can all benefit from their knowledge and understanding of the turf industry. By having knowledge of turf problems of the future and present we can all benefit by providing our input into potential solutions. The symposium on November 27, 2009 will be a major event for the first year turf students for them to introduce themselves to the industry and meet professionals that have been dealing with these issues.


Thanks for your excellent endorsement of the symposium. I like how you stress the main theme of the event. Be careful how many times you repeat a key point. It’s good to eliminate extra words or repetitions whenever possible. Also, if you’re going to include a photo, it’s helpful to have a caption so we know who it is.
