The annual Golf Industry Show is THE big show for Standard Golf, and we can’t wait to see you in San Antonio this month. This event begins February 3 and lasts through February 8 at the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas.

February 4 and 5 will feature the GCSSA Golf Championships with Education Seminars starting on February 5, extending throughout the duration of the Show. On the evening of February 6, the opening festivities will begin, with the trade show floor events running February 7 through February 8. The Trade Show at GIS is the game’s premier learning and networking marketplace. Industry professionals immersed in every aspect of the golf course and facility management industry will gather in one place, offering a unique opportunity to connect and reflect.

With attendees from all over the world, GIS allows Standard Golf to meet our current and potential customers, network with other industry experts, and expand into new markets. We would love to see you and demonstrate some of our traditional and new golf course accessories.

Standard Golf is excited to be introducing our newest bunker rake—The Chief. The name says it all. The Chief is a pioneer in bunker rakes, providing a smoother, more consistent finish than traditional rakes, leaving fewer plugs or plow marks that impede play. This consistency is achieved with a two-in-one rake, featuring a smooth side for rolling the vertical face and a ridged side for scraping the bottom of the trap. One-third of today’s courses in the US have adopted the Aussie Style, but there has not been a rake to handle this manner of play. Developed in response to the changing needs of these golf courses, including the site of the 2017 PGA Championship, the Chief is the only rake for the job.

Come and meet the Chief in San Antonio February 7 and 8. Standard Golf will be on hand to demonstrate its effectiveness, and we will also showcase some of our tried and true dependable product lines, including custom flags and banners, and other quality accessories.

We’ll be ready to chat with you in booth #13067 and give you a taste of all that Standard Golf has to offer the modern golf course industry professional. To learn more, contact Standard Golf or your favorite Standard Golf distributor.

Westmont Yard tied three new video boards to local sponsor partnerships

Westmont Yard, a 2010-built indoor sports facility in Chicago's western suburbs, installed three video boards with Nevco Media Group and built the project around local sponsor partnerships that began with banners. Jen Gust of Westmont Yard says the facility is continuing to partner with Nevco at two of its other facilities.

  • 01Bought outright, a video scoreboard runs $15,000 to $150,000 or more before $2,000 to $10,000 of installation, by KeepTheScore's October 2026 pricing guide.
  • 02Sponsor-funded boards have a long record at schools: Daktronics says it has supported more than 1,400 schools since 2017 and that schools have funded $320 million in equipment through its program.

NWSL refreshes finances as teams 19 and 20 wait

NWSL refreshes finances as teams 19 and 20 wait

The NWSL has no firm date for awarding teams 19 and 20. Commissioner Jessica Berman wants to finish the season and refresh the league’s financial information first.

  • 01NWSL has set no deadline for awarding franchises 19 and 20, with expansion timing dependent on market readiness rather than a fixed schedule
  • 02The league will update its financial data after completing the 2026 season, which ownership bidders will review when evaluating expansion opportunities
  • 03Jessica Berman positioned 20 teams as a next milestone, not a maximum, citing precedent from the NFL, NBA and NHL which each have at least 30 franchises

Rice renames stadium in 20-year deal ahead of $120M renovation

Rice renames stadium in 20-year deal ahead of $120M renovation

Rice University renamed Rice Stadium as First Community Stadium under a 20-year deal with Houston's First Community Credit Union. The package also covers alumni banking, internships and branded cards. A $120 million renovation, expected to begin at the end of this season and continue through 2027, will cut capacity from 47,000 to 30,000 seats.

  • 01First Community signed for 20 years just before the $120M Gateway Project, which is expected to begin at the end of this season and continue through 2027 and will reduce capacity from 47,000 to 30,000. That suggests much of the deal could run in a renovated, smaller venue.
  • 02The naming deal also makes First Community the official financial institution of Rice Football, Rice Athletics and the Association of Rice Alumni, with internships, career services and branded cards attached. Rice describes it as a naming rights and campus collaboration agreement.
  • 03Rice is also pursuing a jersey patch sponsor and naming rights for other venues. George said Rice wants deals that make sense for the university as a whole.
