I read the following article in today's Press & Journal regarding an upcoming conference aimed at GCAs to be held between 28 February and 3 March in Inverness which may be of interest to members of the Discussion Group:

Hopefully everyone is able to access this link.

The conference is being hosted by Adam Lawrence and there looks to be an excellent range of guest speakers. Further details are included on the Scottish Design Masters website (http://www.scottishdesignmasters.com). It appears that Adam has put a lot of work into the event and I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes.

Thanks for posting. Shame that I have seen this so late as I have already something on on these dates.

I only became aware of it myself as it was the main story on the front cover of the P&J yesterday with a 2-page spread inside. Adam also did a short interview on BBC Radio too to publicise the event.


Didn't see it covered in any of the other Scottish newspapers though.

Guys


I'm pretty sure there was some press coverage a couple of months back. Hopefully it will go well and I'll be interested to hear more about it in due course.

We were on the _front cover_ of the P&J? Good lord.

Adam,


I was only lamenting that I had seen this so late on and that I already had something on for these dates as I would have definitely have been interested. It is great to see such events held in the area and I applaud you whole heartedly for arranging it. I am sure it will be a success.

I should make it clear that I am not organising the event, and indeed have very little to do with the organisation of it -- that has come from Visit Scotland and various sources within the Scottish golf community. They asked me to chair the conference, and I was delighted to accept.

Adam,


A nice collection of speakers. curious about the timing of the topic? 


For years golf centered around longer layouts and designs that catered to the "resistance to scoring" mentality.


Did you suggest the conference direction?

If that is the case Adam, I take everything positive I said about you in my last post back  ;D
