The GCSAA Conference and Trade Show 2026 has now wrapped up, and what an event it was. Held February 2–5 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, this year’s show marked a historic milestone - the 100th anniversary of the GCSAA - making it a truly once-in-a-century celebration for the turf industry.

Last week, Howardson Group made a significant impact at the SFMA conference in Fort Worth, Texas, USA connecting with customers, partners and industry peers. Representing the company were Tom Worthy, Regional Sales Director and David Williamson, Commercial Director, who welcomed visitors to Stand 105, strategically located right next to our USA dealers, EGS Equipment (Stand 108) and World Sports (Stand 205).

Dennis Mowers, part of the Howardson Group, welcomed golf industry professionals to Stand 252 at BTME 2026 in Harrogate (20–22 January), where the team showcased a range of professional turf maintenance machinery built to meet the evolving demands of modern golf course management.

Modern turf management demands flexibility. Different seasons, different sports and different turf conditions all require specific maintenance techniques. That’s where the Dennis Cassette System truly shines.
Developed by Dennis, this innovative system allows turf professionals to switch between 16 interchangeable cassettes on a single power unit delivering cutting, scarifying, brushing, verticutting, slitting, sorrel rolling and raking with one machine.
Below is a complete breakdown of each cassette, what it does and the benefits of using it on natural turf.

When Keswick Town Council reviewed how it maintained its fine turf areas, including its bowling greens, the objective was clear: maintain traditional standards of presentation and playability while introducing quieter, more sustainable working practices.
For Parks Manager Christine Fawcett, who manages Fitz Park and Hope Park, which are charitable trusts, any change had to be practical, reliable and low risk. Fitz Park in particular is home to a well-used club bowling green as well as a public green; both of which demand consistency throughout the season.
