The European Golf Course Owners’ Association’s 2009 conference will take place from 2-4 December in Amsterdam.

The conference aims to bring golf course owners, golf managers, directors of golf, suppliers, representatives of national and European golf bodies, golf course architects and industry partners from the European golf business together in order to share ideas, make friends and get inspired. EGCOA expects to publish details on the venue and programme shortly. For more information, e-mail conference@egcoa.org.

This year’s conference is titled The Next Step; from change to opportunity. How can golf courses take advantage of changes today and in the future? Sustainability, including water management will remain an important topic - but what will the future bring?
