"What a great combination of genuinely good guys, superb presentations and excellent

facilities." (Logan Ferguson, Course Manager Nøtterøy Golfbane)

WINSTONuniversity cordially invites you to our inaugural Seminar on the 21 and 23 of October,

entitled “How to identify measure and cost effectively achieve tournament conditions”. It is aimed

at those Superintendents who want to plan ahead for the 2013 season, and brings together two of

the most knowledgeable and experienced turfgrass professionals working today, Professor Al

Turgeon from Penn State University in the US, and David Cole from Loch Lomond in Scotland.

Both speakers will be available over the two days to answer questions relating to the modern

challenges faced by Course Managers in this part of the world. The WINSTONgolf campus also

provides an excellent venue for mixing with fellow members of the turf industry.
