 From left to right - a serious height differential!

One handed putter drill whilst not spilling what's in the other hand..

 The trade show floor is always a busy place!

 What, did Davin say something funny? 

The show always precedes Chinese New Year and the River Rock does an amazing job with the decorations.

There are some very serious times at the show as well..

Standing room only once again - we can't seem to find a room big enough for the CEC track!

That's Dr. John Dempsey all the way from Ireland!

 Fun fact, our speaker gifts this year were bottles of Green Spot Irish Whiskey but Dr. John Dempsey is from Ireland so he got some of the good Canadian stuff!
 

Not a coffee shop on Granville Street, this is inside the River Rock.

Gotcha!

Thanks Jason Steadwell and Syngenta Canada for sponsoring the conference once again this year.

We won't even ask Dwayne what's going on here...

That's Dr. Chase Straw from Penn State.

Another top turf teacher, Dr. Scott McElroy left, receives some appreciation from WCTA President, Nathan Wade.

WCTA Research Chair, Peter Sorokovsky, talks about tending turf at the busiest golf course in Canada.

Even the smartest turfies need to sit-in on a talk every so often, right Dave?

Kick-ass lid dude!

Hard to find a good ending photo but this one works perfectly😁.
