Organizing Your Shop and Your Fleet for
Maximum Effectiveness
Stephen Tucker, International Golf Course Equipment

grass samples to help teach you the fundamentals of
turfgrass identification. Additionally, participants will
learn how to identify seeds and take home their own
turf seed identification set.
Turf managers routinely use water to mix and apply
pesticides, but rarely do we consider pH, hardness,
alkalinity, and other qualities of water that can
dramatically affect pesticide efficacy. Learn more
about what happens within the tank and what the
latest research says about enhancing pesticide activity
through adjuvant use.
Learn how to properly organize your workshop
from equipment layout to parts room management.
We will also look at how to properly manage an
equipment fleet with rising costs and decreasing
budgets. Learn new ways to evaluate your fleet, save
money, and get the most out of your equipment.
