Golf Industry Show

      Fritz and Ryan attended the GCSAA Educational Conference and Golf Industry show in Orlando, February 7-11, 2011.  The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America conference offers numerous amounts of seminars, a trade show and networking experiences at this event.  The golf course show attracts people from all over the globe, and provides education specific to golf course management.
      Ryan attended seminars on the co-existence of trees and turf on golf courses, using Power Point as a presentation tool, and the Assistant Superintendent's general session in preparing their way for the future.
      The trade show had huge range of exhibitors presenting products from all facets of golf course maintenance and management.  This was a great opportunity to ask vendors, engineers and fellow superintendents about new products, solutions to our current equipment and turf problems, and ideas how to implement their use at Forest Lake.
