Trade Show

The Golf Industry Show (GIS) Trade Show has certainly gotten smaller over the years but there is still plenty out there to see. It is neat to see new products such as the Rainbird 751 rotor which can rotate part to full circle.
Present are the equipment manufacturers and distributors for both new and used. This large rough mower is a four year old unit and still costs more than most vehicles on the road.
The next picture is from a sprayer supply company that offers covered booms to prevent drift from winds while spraying.
These days they have iPhone applications for almost anything to help golfers through their rounds, from distance finders to order food at the turn. Vendors at the show have pink cups, skin cancer screenings, GPS units for golf carts, netting companies, erosion control suppliers, the latest technology in organic fertilizer and even fertilizer derived from seaweed.
Pictured last is a synthetic turf that I have been dreaming of for the back of the Vail Golf Course Driving range.
