The GCSAA Conference and Trade Show in San Diego was a remarkable opportunity for Desert Control to reinforce our leadership in water conservation and soil health within the golf and turf management industry. With over 11,000 attendees, the event provided a platform to showcase our Mineral Turf Solution, fostering valuable discussions with key industry stakeholders and paving the way for future partnerships.

Innovations and Sustainability Take Center Stage
This year’s conference emphasized the need for sustainable solutions in response to increasing challenges related to water conservation, resource efficiency, and soil health. Desert Control’s tailored golf and turf formulations stood out as a highly effective solution, demonstrating how superintendents can optimize water usage while maintaining healthy, high-quality turf.
One of the most promising outcomes of the event was the in-depth discussions we had with several large golf courses. These conversations have laid the groundwork for full-scale deployment of our pay-as-you-save business model, which allows golf courses to implement water-saving solutions with minimal upfront costs.
