Mike Nuzzo,
I went to every GCSAA/GIS Show 1997-2007 and found them generally more sobering, more educational and more valuable than the PGA Shows. But I also always found their contrasting styles worth writing about as well. Each has its excessive moments, the PGA Show more so, and each has its educational moments, the GCSAA/GIS more so. Because of scheduling, travel time/budgets and editorial commitments I have been unable to attend and cover these last few GCSAA/GUIS Shows but hope to get back there next year.
