GCA'ers at Golf Industry Show in San Diego

[Rob_Waldron]

If any GCA'ers are planning to attend the Golf Industry Show in San Diego Feb 7-14 is there any interest in getting together for either golf, dinner, or both?   

[Rob_Waldron]

Wow all I can hear is crickets chirping. Either the attendance at the GIS this year will be drastically down or the GCAers have become anti social. Maybe next year in Orlando!

[Don_Mahaffey]

Rob, I'll be there with Joe Hancock...we're social

[Anthony_Nysse]

I will be in Palm Springs golfing in the GCSAA Championships until. 2/07. I will also be going to Riveria for the Northern Trust and stopping in at LACC and seeing the new Superintendent. I will be in San Diego until the 11th. Please let me know if there is a get together.

[Alan FitzGerald CGCS MG]

I'll be there all week

[Jeff_Brauer]

Rob,

I will give a presentation at Remodel U on Monday morning and be at the trade show on Wedesday.  I will be in the Golf Industry Magazine booth, where I understand they have organized a dunk tank with their major columnists as dunkees......   I will spend the rest of the time on the floor and/or in the ASGCA booth.

[Bradley Anderson]

I'll be there. Someone who knows the area should pick out a place to meet for supper walking distance from the conference center, Wednesday.

[Forrest Richardson]

I will be there, Rob. One of my duties is to help Brauer learn to spell L-A-R-E-D-O, and do some geography tutoring. Sylvan Learning with a twist. Would be fun to get together if there is a mutual time.

I heard a rumour that you may also be having a beer or two with some really nice West Aussies...

[Forrest Richardson]

Yes, my insurance has been renewed and I am approved to drink with Aussies again.

[Sean Remington (SBR)]

  I will be in S.D. Tues. - Fri. only.  On a shoestring this year due to cut backs.  I am busy Tues. night but there is Dublin Square Irish pub a few blocks away from convention center.  May Wednesday night?

[Roger Wolfe]

Skipping this year to attend a week long Business Mgmt Course at Cornell
(my alma mater).  Looking forward to visiting my old stomping grounds
from the college days. See you in Orlando... and New Orleans!!

The Field pours some good Guiness. And you can get a Black & Tan which is Guiness over Harp I think. So lets hear from our brothers across the pond.

   BTW . . .   on Tuesday, Feb. 9th is a seminar . . .

    "  1 – 3 pm   Trends in Contemporary Golf Course Architecture. "

  Who's giving the presentation on this subject?

from the website:

Description:

How can course design address the trend of golfers having less time and money to spend on the game? How do the technological changes in balls and clubs affect course design? What are some of the design trends being developed in the international golf market? These questions and more will be addressed by the current President of the American Society of Golf Course Architects, Doug Carrick, ASGCA, and a panel of leading ASGCA achitects. Carrick will also invite attendees to direct questions to the panel.


i'm sure you folks wouldn't mind two aspiring archies joining any organized events would ya?

[Jeff_Brauer]

Michael,

I think it is open to all so you are very welcome. I will probably be in the audience myself, heckling!
