Over the past few weeks while enjoying some vacation time with my family and playing golf with friends in Florida, I also attended the Golf Industry Show in Orlando. This event isn't just a social gathering of Superintendents, but an industry wide event with architects, builders, and facility owners. During my time along with walking the trade show floor, I attended workshops to continue my progress of certification, listened in on the latest product developments, and discussed ways we as Superintendents can be better and keep the game sustainable. As a Government Affairs Ambassador, I also met with Former Speaker of the House John Boehner at a breakfast speaking event to discuss ways how we can more effectively lobby locally and nationally. Golf is currently under a tremendous amount of pressure in Albany and Washington for environmental issues and the workforce availability so if we can't stay a viable business than our purpose of providing a great game and experience will be lost.
