Golf Industry Show in San Diego
This year’s new two-day Golf Industry Show schedule was an enjoyable whirlwind of great San Diego weather, exceptional turf education and meaningful relationship building with golf course superintendents, distributors and industry partners.
The BASF Professional Turf & Ornamentals team greatly appreciated seeing so many new and old faces at this year’s activities. A big “thank you” to our BASF booth visitors for taking time to learn about our products and people, as well as taking part in booth events.
