Educational Tour Finishes in D.C.

The 2008 Keep America Playing Tour, sponsored by Turface Athletics, wrapped up its educational curriculum at Nationals Park on Oct. 21. Consisting of three featured events and over 35 local field days and seminars, the 2008 Tour educated groundskeepers and field managers of all levels on effective ways to manage sports fields.

The events held at Gainesville, FL, Kansas City, KS, and Washington, D.C., provided the opportunity to see maintenance demonstrations from industry specialists and interact with some of the top groundskeepers in the business. Educational sessions included field conditioning, game-day prep, turf management, irrigation techniques and fertilization practices.
