Visit Lubbock is excited to welcome the 31st Annual West Texas Turfgrass & Irrigation Conference presented by the West Texas Chapter of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (WTGCSA). The event will take place Monday, Oct. 30 through Wednesday, Nov. 1 at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center, 1501 Mac Davis Lane.
The conference will kick off at noon on Monday with a golf scramble at the Lubbock Country Club followed by a barbecue dinner and trade show at the civic center.
The purpose of this conference is to educate the golf industry on new developments and unite golf superintendents, assistants, irrigators and vendors. About 150 attendees will be present to continue their education in turfgrass and irrigation practices. Members from across West Texas will gather in Lubbock to associate with fellow industry professionals about how to better their home courses.
“This conference and trade show allows golf course superintendents and assistants to come together and get to know one another as a network,” said Cindy Herridge, WTGCSA executive director. “It also helps them add to their knowledge of their trade through continuing education unit sessions. They can see firsthand the new products and technology which could enhance their success in running and maintaining their golf courses.”
Once the conference is complete, attendees will have a better understanding of new techniques in their industry and how to improve their practices at home throughout West Texas.
The event is only open to registered participants in the industry. For specific questions regarding the program and registration, please email wtgcsa@wtgcsa.net or visit www.wtgcsa.net.
