On the road with Landscape Management
This week is the GIE+Expo in Louisville, Ky., and Golfdom‘s sister publication Landscape Management (LM) called in for extra recruits to help at this massive show. It seemed like that our Editor-in-Chief Seth Jones has been traveling enough lately (and the Royals are dominating in the MLB playoffs and he probably would like watching the series from the comfort of home.) Plus last year’s Golf Industry Show was my first major trade show experience.
So yesterday morning we loaded up two cars with luggage, equipment and people to make the five hour drive from Cleveland to Louisville. I joined the road trip with Marisa Palmieri, LM editor-in-chief, Bill Roddy, LM publisher, Craig MacGregor, North Coast Media national sales manager, Dillon Stewart, LM associate editor, and Allison Barwacz, North Coast Media digital media content producer.
The highlights of the trip so far include a lunch stop at a Chipotle that actually had carnitas, setting up LM’s booth at the convention center and an awesome dinner at Doc Crow’s with one of their “perfect” Old Fashions and an even better Smokehouse sampler with pulled pork, beef brisket and St. Louis style ribs.
It was a great first day and I’m excited for the rest of the week. I’ll be on the lookout for some of the latest, greatest and/or coolest products for the golf industry too.
