The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, a non-profit member association dedicated to golf course management, announces schedule changes to their 2014 education conference and trade show.

The GCSAA announces slight schedule changes to various events associated with its annual education conference and industry trade show. The event, to be held February 3rd to 6th, 2014 will take place at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.

The USGA session has moved to 8 - 10 am on Thursday, February 6th, prior to the start of the second day of the trade show, and will become the general session.

The four-ball competition will be Saturday, February 1st, with the fun event (shamble format) being held Sunday, February 2nd. The GCSAA National Championship and the GCSAA Golf Classic will be held Sunday through Monday, Februay 2nd – 3rd.

Also, in order to alleviate the amount of overlap between the GCSAA Golf Championships and the education conference, the golf tournament dates have been shifted back one day from last year. To view a schedule of events click here.

All the golf events will be at Orlando-area golf facilities.

"The focus will remain on keeping the agenda as condensed as possible to minimize expense and time away for both attendees and exhibitors," GCSAA CEO Rhett Evans said. "Our post-event surveys indicate that our efforts to shorten the week were seen as a positive, but there were a few instances where conflicts were created. We have shared the new schedule with some of our committees, and the response has been good."
