The 2015 Golf Industry Show wrapped up last week in San Antonio, TX. Despite some unseasonably cold weather and more than a few travel snafus, the show can only be described as a smashing success for Aquatrols.
Traditionally GIS week provides a wonderful opportunity to reflect on past successes and think about plans for the future, and 2015 was no exception. Couldn’t make it to San Antonio? Here’s what you missed.
