San Diego!

I can't believe I have not snapped one photo yet, but believe me I will. So Justin, Mike and yours truly touched down in San Diego Sunday night. Completely missing the Super Bowl, thanks to some de-icing issues in Denver, but we arrived. How 'bout them Saints!

Alright, business at hand, the 2010 Golf Industry Show. This Conference is what I like to call all of the "important people in golf". Not entirely, but this show is comprised of Superintendents, Club Managers, Golf Architects, Golf Course Owners and Golf Course Builders.

Getting to the San Diego Convention Center and getting to know the lay of the land is important. There is a lot going on this week and they make pretty good use of the entire facility. The class rooms are spread throughout the center. Then there are common areas for shopping (GCSAA educational materials and clothing), networking, free educational seminars, turf student competitions, etc.

The exhibition hall is being constructed for the Trade Show, which is schedule to open on Wednesday and Thursday. The trade show is the "main event". You can find anything there from the top mowers in the world to the safest pesticide. It also has every irrigation innovation to the best footwear for a Superintendent. They have even had a booth in the past that performs free manicures, because if you have ever shaken the hand of a Super, you know why.

65 degrees and sunny, I'll be here all week.
