I’m back from GIE+Expo in Louisville, Ky. It was a great show!

I love GIE+Expo because I know a lot of people there, but it’s not as hectic for me as the Golf Industry Show. Not as many meetings. (But a similar amount of drinking.)
I saw some sneak peeks at products that will be at the GIS in San Antonio. I’ll do a story in the next Golfdom to show you some of the cool new gadgets.
Also got a ton of great feedback on what we’re doing at the magazine. Always nice to know people are really out there, and they’re following along.
This GIE+Expo show was the biggest ever… hopefully the GIS will follow their lead, and start growing again!
