Dear Industry Member,
Now that the trials and tribulations of the season of 2015 are behind most of us it is time to relax by the shore and at the same time learn from some of the best minds in the industry. Please join us at the newly renovated and beautiful Princess Royale Resort Hotel in Ocean City, Maryland for the ninth annual ESACGS Golf Turfgrass Conference.
The ESAGCS Conference Committee has carefully selected speakers to give relevant and up to date education on topics of importance to Mid Atlantic superintendents, staff and industry affiliates. GCSAA CEU credits have been applied for, as have Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Virginia pesticide and nutrient management re-certification credit as well.
So plan now to join us for golf, food, fun and even some education, down at the ocean! You can download a registration form at the bottom of the page.
Thanks,
