YS.  I find the challenges of day to day maintenance very exciting. Every day is a new learning and to sum it all up no corner office can ever beat my ‘office’.

YS.   I have taken part in the seminars of Dr. Micah Woods organized by IGU and RNA.

YS.   I have done my Bachelors in Agricultural sciences and then completed my MBA in Agribusiness. Although these degrees are not exactly the same as Turf grass management but are dealt as equivalent.

YS.   As a Super we face the biggest challenge of meeting the expectations of players and to maintain the turf as per agronomic requirements simultaneously.

YS.  I would like to do certification courses and if time permits then definitely I will pursue a master’s degree in turf grass managementa

YS.  Well… I try my best to accommodate their complaints and if required show them or tell them the reason for the locations. The best policy is to try to maintain a dialogue with the players.

YS.  Golf courses are an important requirement for today’s Urban landscape, golf courses not only improve aesthetics of the area but puts unusable land to use and as is a well-known fact the turf not only provides a surface for pleasure of golfers but it removes more carbon from the atmosphere and adds oxygen in the air. For planning point of view Golf courses area good solution for run off problems in the cities.

YS.  We use treated effluent water which is received by us after secondary treatment at the Sewage treatment plant. We simply filter the water and remove suspended solids before irrigation.

YS.  Every compliment received from a member is rewarding in itself and then there is therecognition endowed by the organizers and managementafter completion of a successful tournament keeps me and my team motivated.

YS.  Yes as this is a rewarding profession.

YS.  1. Communication of activities to the players should be in advance.

        2. What needs to be done should be done i.e practices like aeration and top dressing can cause disturbance in play but the membership/players should be made aware of the reasons for the same.
