Jared Attends 2015 Golfdom Summit

Jared was invited along with 49 other superintendents from across the country to attend the 2015 Golfdom Magzine Summit in Orlando, FL. Superintendents came from all over the country to network, build relationships, learn new advances in technologies that companies are developing, new agronomic practices and learn about the state of the industry. Some of the courses represented were Baltusrol (host of 2016 Open), Oakmont (host of 2016 U.S. Open), Whistling Straits, Chambers Bay, St. James Plantation, TPC Deere Run and Pinehurst to name a few.

Annika Sorenstam, the greatest female golfer of our time, was the keynote speaker for the event. Annika talked about how she started out in the golf industry by working on a golf course grounds crew. She talked about how she was raking bunkers and she ripped the liner out in one of the bunkers right before goflers were teeing off. She raced around trying to fix the liner and realized that maybe playing golf might be more up her alley.

It was a fantastic time and quite an honor to be invited to attend this event. It will be something I will remember for a long time.

Part of the Summit was spent in the "Board Room" learning about new agronomic practices and the business of golf.
