Jacobsen win Best Stand at Golf Industries Show in Atlanta
Jacobsen, the sister company of Ransomes Jacobsen here in the UK, won Best Stand (Booth) at the Golf Industries Show held in Atlanta in February.
The idea behind the booth design was to create a golf course environment where golf course superintendents and owners could easily find Jacobsen, E-Z-GO and Textron Financial information. This was achieved as visitors entered a golf course setting complete with undulating greens, fairways, tee boxes, clubhouse, landscaping, patio, sounds of the game and more. Jacobsen's long heritage of innovation and improved customer performance was on display in many forms within an area of more than 11,000 square feet.
To win this award was quite an honour considering there were more than 750 exhibitors in the vast Georgia World Congress Center and especially pleasing as Jacobsen were celebrating their 85th anniversary.
David Wither, managing director of Ransomes Jacobsen, who hosted a party of almost 200 guests from UK, Europe and the Middle East to the Show commented,
"It was obvious that our colleagues in the US had put a lot of time and effort into the design and production of their booth. It was certainly striking and when filled with the complete ranges of equipment from Jacobsen and E-Z-GO it was extremely impressive. Our party were very impressed and it certainly made a statement at what is Americas prime golf maintenance equipment event."

This is not true - there was no official "judging" of a best booth at the GIS show, nor have there been any judging at past GCSAA shows......Golfweek's Super News in the U.S. posted a minor opionion piece on how they liked Jacobsen's booth best (a rather bizarre faux brick structure that looked straight out of the movie CaddyShack, but that's just MY opinion)
There were no undulating greens - just bad linoleum that masqueraded as greens and fairways........
