My trip to the NGCOA conference for 2015 can be summed up in four words. I Hate Ice Storms. Get ready. This is a long tale of Allison and Theresa’s Great Adventure. Sit back and enjoy the ride. Our original flight was to take off early Monday morning which would have put me in San Antonio […]
Remember the Alamo!
Theresa and I recently traveled to San Antonio to attend the National Golf Course Owner’s Conference. While there, we had to check out the Alamo. It is San Antonio after all. Before we headed over to check it out, we had some lunch with fellow golf course owners. Katherine Jesmek who owns a family golf […]
Golf Industry Show 2015
Theresa and I recently attended the NGCOA (National Golf Course Owners) Annual Conference in San Antonio. Part of the conference includes attending the Golf Industry Show which has loads of anything related to golf. I like attending this show because unlike the Iowa State Fair, there are no hot tub vendors and they don’t pull […]
Touring Hill Country Golf Club
A few weeks ago, I made my annual pilgrimage to the NGCOA (National Golf Course Owner’s Association) Conference. It’s a great way to network with fellow golf course owners to get their opinions and trade secrets about what they are doing to help grow the game of golf. In previous years, I was able to […]
Board Meetings Can Be Fun?

The board has many operators in different capacities which help to represent a look at golf course owners as a whole. In the fall, they have […]

The Golf Industry Show
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I attended the National Golf Course Owner Association’s annual conference last week. It’s a pretty major event because it coincides with the Golf Industry Show as well as the Superintendent’s conference. There are nearly 16,000 people who come to Orlando for the Golf Conference. There are bad pants and […]
A Tour of Shingle Creek
Last week, I attended the annual conference for the National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA). It’s held every year sometime in February and is the perfect way to get energized for the upcoming year. There are golf course owners from all different walks of life. There are people who are like me. Family owned and […]
