Five superintendents who otherwise wouldn't be attending this year's Golf Industry Show will be heading to San Diego thanks to the Bayer Superintendent Grant Program.
Through the Bayer Superintendent Grant Program, Bayer Environmental Science, the GCSAA and the Environmental Institute for Golf are sending five golf course superintendents to the 2016 Golf Industry Show in San Diego.
The purpose of the grant is to assist superintendents with their professional development through participation in the annual event.
Winners are: Jonathan Gruber of Hampton Cove Golf Course, Owens Cross Roads, Alabama, John Ekstrom of Indian Boundary Golf Course in Chicago, Daryl Moldenhauer of American Falls Golf Course in American Falls, Idaho, Ethan Shamet of Deer Trace Golf Course in LaCygne, Kansas, and Jerry Webb of Stillwater Oaks in Stillwater, Minnesota.
Winners are chosen through a random drawing. Each receives airfare, hotel accommodations for five nights, conference full-pack registration, two education seminars and $200 spending stipend.
