Welcome to GreenKeeper University! This module is intended to introduce you to the Moodle Platform and give you resources to help you be successful.
This comprehensive introductory online school is taught by 11 experts in the field. This 12-week school covers the principles of turfgrass science with a golf-turf focus, ranging from turf selection to soil fertility and pest management. This school has educated over 300 practitioners since 2014 and we are excited to be offering it on the GreenKeeper platform this year.
Much like the Great Lakes Golf Edition, the Lawns/Grounds/Sports Edition is an introductory school for lawn care operators, grounds and parks managers, sports field managers, and anyone interested in maintaining turf in a professional, non-golf setting. Students will learn the principles of turfgrass science in this 12-week school taught by six experts in the field. Practitioners of all ages have found value in this school and we are pleased to be offering via GreenKeeper University.
Plant growth regulators are widely used across the turfgrass industry. This course will focus on how to program PGR applications, either applied alone or in combination, on different turfgrass species and areas (greens, fairway & collars, sports turf, etc.). Both cool and warm-season turfgrasses will be covered. Students will learn how different products and application strategies impact turf health, color, and performance. It will also cover PGR-induced collar decline and how clipping volume measurements can help refine your PGR program.
This fast-paced course will use recorded lectures, live discussions, engagement with excel and web-based tools, and weekly quizzing to help students understand the subject matter. Finally, students will create a PGR program for their facility that will be reviewed by Dr. Kreuser.
