On Monday, March 5^th, individuals involved in the golf business in Iowa will gather to hear from industry leaders while also networking and sharing ideas at the Iowa Golf Summit. This is the 3^rd summit co-conducted by the Iowa Golf Association, Iowa Section PGA and Iowa Golf Course Superintendents Association. The Iowa Golf Summit is sponsored by Standard Golf (Cedar Falls) and Miller & Son’s Golf Cars (Britt, Ames).

Andre O’Brien of MindGym will be the keynote speaker. MindGym is a global company that specializes in “psychological-based organizational transformation”. Andre will focus his talk on “transforming leadership and becoming a real team” in a fun and entertaining way.  It will no doubt be of great value to you and your team at your golf facility.

Thomas Pagel, Senior Director of Rules at the USGA, will be on hand to discuss what will be the newly released final code of the 2019 Rules of Golf – i.e. the Rules Modernization project. The final code will be announced on March 1^st, four days prior to the summit, so the timing works out great for us to have Thomas speak.

In addition, Mischia Wright of the GCSAA will be on hand to discuss their “Rounds 4 Research” program and J.D. Drimel of the PGA of America will discuss how to best utilize the PGA Career Services to your benefit.
