BetterTurf™ Online Learning
Welcome to podcasting! A podcast, simply put, is a presentation file that you can download onto your computer, or IPOD. I can be just an audio file, a video file or a slide presentation complete with audio. You can download specific podcasts when one interests you or subscribe to a Betterturf podcast so that it automatically downloads onto your computer whenever a new podcast is available.
Once the podcast is on your computer, you can listen to it there using your favourite media player, or transfer it onto your IPOD to view or listen to it on the move!
Search the Internet and you'll find every kind of podcast imaginable, including "how-to" podcasts on a great variety of subjects. And now we're adding educational podcasts from BASF created specifically for golf course superintendents.
Bookmark this page and come back often to download podcasts that will help you maintain luscious turf throughout the season.
