The Golf Course Superintendents Association of Northern California (GCSANC), in cooperation with the University of California Cooperative Extension, will host its 2008 Institute on September 15-16 at the Course at Wente Vineyards in Livermore, Calif. The educational conference titled: "What's More Important Than Water?" will feature speakers from water districts, educational institutions and allied golf organizations. All will discuss the topic of water from historical, environmental and scientific perspectives.
"The Institute remains a favored educational experience for course superintendents and affiliate members because we focus on subject matter critical to golf courses and surrounding communities," said Michael Souza, GCSANC board member and event co-chairman. Other components of the two-day conference include an industry trade show and a tournament on the Greg Norman-designed course at Wente Vineyards in the Livermore Valley. |
