Check out some of the places the Golfdom team has been recently!
Basketball watch party: It seems the Kansas Jayhawks always have a big matchup the week of the Carolinas GCSA Conference and Show. 2025 was no different as the guys watched KU face Duke at Madison Square Garden. Joining the party are (left to right) Cummins; Scott Kinkead, Turfco; Jones; and Mark Semm, BASF. (Photo: Golfdom staff)
Welcome to the team, Jim!: Longtime industry professional Jim Cummins — he worked for GCSAA for almost 20 years as their senior manager of business development — recently joined the Golfdom team as our national sales manager. To mark the occasion, Editor-in-Chief Seth Jones (left) and Editor Scott Hollister (right) took Cummins to Lawrence’s oldest tavern, Johnny’s, to celebrate. (Photo: Golfdom staff)

When in Phoenix…: You must give Scottsdale local Michael Maravich (center), Ewing Outdoor Supply, a call. He knows all the best spots! With MM is Jones and Kevin Stoltman (right), president and CEO, North Coast Media. (Photo: Golfdom staff)
Still got the Camaro?: Jones with his old friend Chuck Borman, Carolinas GCSA. Jones and Borman were coworkers a long time ago when they both worked for GCSAA. The two share a love for muscle cars. And no, Jones sold the Camaro (but still has the ’64 Impala). (Photo: Golfdom staff)
100 years of Smith Turf and Irrigation: Another member of the 100-year club is Smith Turf and Irrigation, who celebrated the landmark in 2025. Jones, Anna-Lindsay Yarbrough, president of Smith Turf and Irrigation, and Tim Kreger, executive director, Carolinas GCSA, celebrate with a selfie. (Photo: Golfdom staff)
Spare a photo?: At the Syngenta Business Institute in North Carolina, associate editor Nathan Mader (far right) tried some duckpin bowling with some Friends of Golfdom. Joining him is (from left) Lyndsay Rusczak, senior account executive at G&S Business Communications, and superintendents Brandon Smith, Laurel Springs (Ga.) GC; Alan FitzGerald, Rehoboth Beach (Del.)
