Conference time is wrapping up.  Key management have just returned from the Golf Industry Show in Orlando where we enjoyed some fantastic weather while learning about the latest trends in golf course management.  The trade show featured nearly 600 exhibitors and my aching feet bear witness that I walked the entire trade show in one day!

A large putting green was built in the center of the trade show complete with bunkers.

Bunker with an artificial sod wall face.

The amount of equipment on display was overwhelming at times.  

Coming home was not fun.  A bumpy flight followed by a dusting of snow.  Here the turf cover shows how well it works on the fourth tee.

The recent wind storms have left plenty of debris to clean up.  The only tree that we lost was on the ninth hole.  It couldn't have fallen more perfectly and the holly is fine.
