Attended Conference:
February 10-11, 2010:
Conference: Golf Industry Show
Location: San Diego, CA
Synopsis:
I know what you're thinking. What the heck does this have to do with GIS? Well, I attend the conference for two reasons. The first is because I have many clients in the golf business. The second is because both GIS and GPS are critical technologies in the golf industry. Look out soon for an article on GPS golf cart technology.
Update March 16, 2010. Read my newsletter column in Geospatial Weekly about GIS, GPS and Golf cart technology.
