For the second year in a row, spring seems to be taking its time arriving in many parts of Ontario. While a few sporadic courses in Southwestern Ontario are opening early many courses in the east and north remain under snowfall making it difficult for Superintendents to access their courses.
The 2019 Canadian Golf Course Management Conference was once again a terrific success in beautiful Banff, Alberta.
