Toro become support sponsor for PGA Conference

One of the world’s leading brands of turf and landscape maintenance equipment, Toro, has become a supporting sponsor of the eagerly anticipated 2019 PGA Conference.

The innovative turf machinery and irrigation product manufacturer further strengthened its already strong foundations with golf facilities across the world by becoming a PGA Partner earlier this year.

Toro first entered the golf equipment business 100 years ago with a mower designed to maintain the fairways at The Minikahda Club in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Today, the U.S.-based company has cemented itself as one of the world’s leading brands of turf and landscape maintenance equipment.

Toro now has professional distributors, dealers and retailers in more than 125 countries, and offers a wide range of products for the golf course market. The company’s products are currently being used around the world at notable facilities such as Carnoustie Golf Links, St Andrews Links, Torrey Pines Golf Course and Pinehurst Resort.

As part of the agreement, Toro will present to delegates on key issues within golf course agronomy today and the importance of the relationship between the golf operations team and the course management team is vital to the success of any golf club.

Matthew Davies, PGA Regional Manager (international), commented: “We are delighted to welcome PGA Partners Toro on board as a Supporting Partner for the 2019 PGA Conference in Thailand.

“We are excited to bear from Gareth Knight, S.E Asia & Indian Subcontinent Regional Manager for Toro, who will also join our exciting line up of speakers.

“Gareth’s presentation will also focus on some of the key current challenges faced within agronomy, such as water management and chemical application, and cover some of the new developments happening within the sector, such as hybrid and electric technologies and autonomous machinery.

“We have received feedback from the previous editions of the Conference that our Members would like to see some educational content around the topic of Agronomy as many who attend are in positions where they are in daily contact with the superintendent at their facility. We are delighted to work with Toro as the leader in their field to help deliver this.”

The third PGA Conference at will be staged at Laguna Phuket, the PGA’s first branded facility in Thailand. Once again the event looks set to deliver an excellent educational programme and networking opportunity for PGA Members.

Registration is still open and anyone interested in attending should contact conference@pga.org.uk
