Some of our Year 9 pupils had an excellent opportunity to experience the first ‘Green Field’ STEM event at @discovercafre gaining knowledge of green keeping and biodiversity. The sun shone as they learnt, understood, and applied how the expert greenkeepers will measure the speed of the green for Rory Mcllroy and others at The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush, next month!

Thank you to Adam, Liz and staff at CAFRE and sponsors British and International Golf Greenkeeping Association (BIGGA) for the event.

“It was fantastic to host Ballyclare Secondary today at CAFRE’s first ever First Green Initiative. We really enjoyed giving the pupils an idea of what is involved in sports turf and I hope they all learned a lot and gained plenty of inspiration.” CAFRE
