Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the 2007 annual meeting of the Register of Independent Professional Turfgrass Agronomists (RIPTA). States that Register was formed "to offer and identify a source of professional, independent turfgrass agronomy expertise" and to provide the "sport controlling bodies...a source of turfgrass agronomists that met certain important criteria. Clubs and organizations wanting to appoint an agronomist also had a course they could use for acquiring expertise." Also discusses the criteria that must be satisfied by every RIPTA member, including "a first degree in a plant or soil related science"; "a minimum of four years full-time experience of turfgrass consulatancy"; "must be totally independent with no commerical links or obligations"; and "must carry professional indemnity insurance cover." |
