It's great to be back at South Hills in Fond du Lac for our very winter-like Spring Business and Educational Meeting. Thanks to all who attended, sponsored, and spoke!

We have a great Equipment Managers group in attendance at the brand new Pleasant View Golf Course maintenance shop for a seminar on autonomous mowers with presentations from Clesens/Kress, Reinders/Toro, and Revels/John Deere.

Thanks to everyone who came to the Wisconsin Room in Orlando last night and to the many generous sponsors who allowed us to make sure that no one went home hungry or thirsty! It was fantastic seeing so many of you enjoying the evening together.

It's an overflow crowd at Whispering Springs for the 15th annual Assistant Superintendent Seminar, and @GCSAA_GL is kicking things off with his presentation on leadership.

Great presentation and glad to have you back in your home state!

The best superintendents are competitive, curious and never satisfied with “good enough.” In this @WGCSA Superintendent Spotlight we spend time with @nhccwi Superintendent @MattDShafer talking leadership, team culture and the mindset required to deliver great golf day after day.

With 250 folks registered, we might have officially run out of space at the 59th annual Wisconsin Golf Turf Symposium! Looking forward to two great days of education and networking.
