You Say Potato....

       We hosted the Reel Technology Seminar at White Manor CC yesterday. It went off very well with over 20 Superintendents/Assistants &Technicians, we had a great turnout. It was one of those events where if you had anymore people it would have been too many.
       First thing was the facility worked out perfect! They have an excellent size break room.
Don Brown and his staff could not have been more helpful. They were awesome!
The shop area was set up just right where we could split the group in two and have the class size manageable.
       The fun part for me was hearing to views that were slightly different from two of the top reel guys I have ever met. Jim Nedin is a light contact guy who believes in lapping. While Tom Hurst is a no contact believer and does not feel the need to lap because he thinks the speed of the Bernhard Grinder makes lapping unnecessary. So now you have two experts who have worked more tournaments than probably about anybody around and they see things from a different view. But this is the part that I love about this business....BOTH WAYS WORK! In all my years of visiting golf courses the one thing that I have always found amazing is that one course has a practice that they swear by and there is no other way to do it. Then I head to a course down the street and they are coming at it from a totally different angle and it works for them. They are both right. What ever works for you is what matters! 
       Thank you to Don Brown & his staff at White Manor CC for having us! Thanks to Jim Nedin & Tom Hurst for presenting!
