Anthracnose and Melting Out

Good Day All,

The AGCSA is holding a disease workshop with an emphasis on two of the most devastating Auckland diseases - Anthracnose and Melting Out. Megan Cushnahan from the New Zealand Sports Turf Institute has kindly made her time available for the day to present some of the key points in identifying and reducing severity of such diseases.

Details of the day are as follows.

Location:                    Akarana Golf Club

Date:                          Tuesday 6th December 2011

Time and Schedule:     10.30-11am Arrival, tea and coffee at clubhouse

The Workshop Days are a great chance to explore fellow courses with the possibility of learning something new and to meet up with those you may not have seen for awhile so please support them as much as you can.

See you all on the 6th of December.

Kind Regards,

Martin Burger
