A visit to Europe


In May I had the pleasure of giving speeches to greenskeepers in both Belgium and the Netherlands and had a fantastic time. My speeches were an introduction to our company, its history, our products, along with interseeding and new construction ideas. The greenskeepers were a well-informed group, who had great knowledge of the business and were not afraid to ask questions. I am always amazed when you walk into a room of strangers how quickly you can become friends with just golf as your common interest. Even with language barriers, we always find ways to communicate. This trip, I not only met a group of great guys, we became good friends and will exchange emails for years to come. I will be back to visit and speak again in the future and hope to spend more time visiting courses.
