TRF 1720 Reflective Journal

This marks the last week of my first field school within the Turfgrass Management Program at Olds College. One of the biggest things that I have learn’t and realized is important is time management. With the onset of COVID-19 and special practices at work, the time needed to manage a golf course has been increased. Furthermore, with more time needed at the course, the time to enjoy summer time and complete school work has been stressful. Add on the daily golf course issues or irrigation breaks, diseases and golfer management this summer has certainly had its challenges and extra projects to deal with. However, even though it is an added stress, having assignments and research to do in school helps to show me what the future of my career within turf care will look like. Most importantly, how to effectively manage my time and resources to put enough into the course and facility but also enough to have a healthy work life balance.
