Social media brought golf superintendents together offline for the third year running at the Aquatrols booth (#1013) for this year’s Tweetup. Turf pros crowded to talk about their work online as well as enjoy a few cold drinks and music.
We also named this year’s winners of our Super Savvy Social Media Awards, a group of superintendents and academics who use social media to improve the game and each other’s lives. Here are our favorites for this year. Be sure to check below to see the videos from some of our winners who couldn’t make it to the show!
