The Shows are over. Now the work begins

Well, the PGA and GIS are over and we learned a lot. But before covering all of that, I thought I would refer everyone to the Golf Course Superintendent Association of America. Seth, the Senior Associate Editor put TowCaddy out on twitter! Twice! So here is one of the links. I am not sure how long they stay up so if it doesn't work, blame Twitter. In the mean time, be sure to follow thier blog.

It is nice to get the press and the notice! Speaking of which check out this blog from The Militant Mechanic who gave us a little love!

Anyway. The two shows were very successful. Not knowing what to expect, but having market research, I was optimistic going into the shows. Then as things continued to progress, I became very hopeful, then more and more people came by and I started to panic. In a good way. Jim Jurgens commented that we may have a tiger by the tail.

It was interesting, the two shows couldn't be more different. Or at least, the attendees couldn't be. There seemed to be two totally different audiences with completely different purposes. But both ended up being excellent for us. The PGA seemed more geared toward the consumer, the GIS to management. I was excited by the public reaction at the PGA and the overwhelming support from the European market. I learned a lot and gained a lot of ideas for the TowCaddy and its uses from the GIS and it seemed the concept of our product was one that was well accepted. We are looking forward to working with the attendees, thier courses and their Jr. Golf Programs.

Now though, it is time to get to work and follow, follow and follow up! By the way, Nathan, it was great to meet you! Keep in touch! Jay, thanks for the photos!
