The GCI TweetUp: our Favorites

Social-media-savvy golf industry pros gathered just outside the Las Vegas Convention Center at 5:31 p.m. for the first GCI TweetUp at GIS 2012.

The event, announced from the @gcimagazine feed earlier in the day, gave them the chance to meet face-to-face and talk social media and its uses within the industry, as well as catch the winners of the GCI 2012 Social Media Awards.

Armed with a megaphone, GCI Publisher Pat Jones recognized this year’s top feeds:
