Mr. Richard Buckley, Director, Rutgers Plant Diagnostic Laboratory Mr. Tom Breiner, Northeast Sales Representative, Verdesian Life Sciences Mr. Chris Carson, Superintendent, Echo Lake Country Club Mr. Joseph Clark, Principal Lab Technician, Rutgers Turfgrass Research Farm Mr. Bruce Crawford, Director, Rutgers Gardens Mr. Robert Dobson, Owner, Middletown Sprinkler Company Dr. Richard Hurley, Adjunct Professor, Rutgers Plant Biology and Pathology Mr. Stephen Kay, Owner/Architect, Kay Smith Golf Course Design, LLC Mr. Daniel Kluchinski, Assistant Director, Rutgers Cooperative Extension Dr. Albrecht Koppenhfer, Extension Specialist, Rutgers Dept. of Entomology Mr. Steven Kristoph, Owner, Steven Kristoph Nursery Mr. Edward Lipman, Director, Rutgers Office of Continuing Professional Education Dr. William Meyer, Director, Rutgers Plant Science Research & Extension Farm Mr. James Morris, Assoc.

The instructors do not teach out of a textbook. I can read information myself, but they made me understand it so that I can actually use it when I go back to work. The hands-on soil tests, reel grinding demos and plant ID walks were very important because once I put my hands down in it, thats how I can learn and know and understand.
