Golf Course Superintendents Association of New England invites TickEncounter to help them get TickSmart!
Dr. Tom Mather from TickEncounter gave a presentation to the Golf Course Superintendents Association of New England on how to be TickSmart while golfing. Fall signals the return of adult stage Deer ticks in the Northeastern and Midwestern United States. It's also that time of year when golfers put on an extra layer and brave the colder temperatures to hit the links.
Dr. Mather covered many topics:
- Do you know what kind of tick is biting you?
- What are you currently doing to prevent tick bites?
- What does it mean to be TickSmart?
- What actions are members of the GCSA taking on their golf courses to kill ticks?
- How can tick repellent clothing help golfers and golf club staff stay TickSafe?
