This week-long course is designed to provide an overview of the latest research-based information regarding the art and science of turfgrass management. World-renowned Cornell University faculty and staff as well as national experts on lawn, golf and sports turf management will provide more than 30 hours of instruction in both classroom and hands-on laboratories and will be available to answer your turfgrass questions.

This course has historically been attended by new professionals or for those seeking to refresh their knowledge. (We count more than more than 1,500 alumni of the short course.) However with the volume of new information regularly coming on-line even the most seasoned professional will benefit from hearing new ideas on fertilization, mowing, irrigation as well as the latest IPM strategies.
