A Look Back at the GCSAA Centennial Conference and Trade Show

February 4–5 in Orlando marked a milestone moment for the golf industry as GCSAA celebrated its 100-year Conference and Trade Show, and it was a show we were proud to be part of.

This year felt different in the best way. The centennial setting brought a strong mix of reflection and forward momentum, and that tone carried straight onto the trade show floor. For Foley, it was the first time bringing Foley, Salsco, and Air2G2 together in one unified booth, and the response made it clear that the combined presence resonated.

Throughout the two days, our booth stayed busy with customers, distributors, and industry partners stopping in to ask questions, share feedback, and talk shop. As a Silver Partner with GCSAA, it was especially meaningful to be part of a milestone event that reflects the long-standing relationships and shared commitment that define this industry. Having our global and domestic sales teams on hand made those conversations even more valuable. Whether it was detailed grinder discussions, questions around Air2G2 applications, or hands-on interest in Salsco rollers, the booth became a natural meeting point for practical, real-world conversations.

One of the highlights of the show was celebrating Greg Turner and his 35-year career as he steps into retirement. Greg has been a familiar face and trusted voice to so many across the industry, and it meant a lot to recognize his contributions surrounded by colleagues, customers, and friends. It was a fitting moment at a centennial event built around people who have helped shape the game and the profession.

Beyond the booth, the energy across the conference reflected an industry that continues to evolve while staying grounded in fundamentals. From education sessions to hallway conversations, there was a clear focus on efficiency, consistency, and long-term performance. Those priorities closely align with how we think about equipment, service, and support.

As the show wrapped up, the takeaway was simple: strong relationships still matter, face-to-face conversations still matter, and bringing the right people and solutions together in one place makes a difference.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared time with our team, and helped make the GCSAA Centennial Conference a memorable one. We’re looking forward to continuing the conversations well beyond Orlando.
