This year’s new two-day exhibition schedule was packed with exceptional turf education and meetings with golf course superintendents, distributors and industry partners. The BASF Professional Turf & Ornamentals team greatly appreciated all who stopped by the BASF booth in San Diego. A big “thank you” to our BASF booth visitors for taking time to learn about our products and people, as well as taking part in booth events.
