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.

Fastbreak AI is quietly becoming the scheduling engine for 50-plus pro leagues

Fastbreak AI is quietly becoming the scheduling engine for 50-plus pro leagues

Fastbreak AI says its software now powers scheduling for more than 50 professional leagues worldwide, including NBA work tied to the in-season tournament. Scheduling is being treated like a multi-constraint optimization system. That pushes leagues toward data, governance, and integration work, not just better calendars.

  • 01A pro schedule is now a solvable optimization workload: Fast Company frames the NBA problem as 1,230 games across 30 teams over six months, with constraints coming from networks, venues, safety rules, and fairness.
  • 02Vendor choice is increasingly about constraint governance, not UI: the hard part is deciding which rules are immutable, which are preferences, and who owns changes when tradeoffs hit live operations.
  • 03Fastbreak’s origin story matters for enterprise buyers: Fast Company ties its approach to field-service optimization math from MapAnything, suggesting schedules can be managed like dispatch and routing, with similar data and integration demands.

YouTube TV adds ESPN Unlimited inside the app as ESPN raises DTC prices

YouTube TV adds ESPN Unlimited inside the app as ESPN raises DTC prices

YouTube TV now carries ESPN Unlimited inside its app. The move lands ahead of ESPN’s Sept. 17, 2026 price increase to $31.99 a month from $29.99. ESPN Select rises to $13.99 from $12.99.

  • 01Bundling is turning into product integration: ESPN Unlimited content now inherits YouTube TV features like multiview and DVR, which can move viewing time and ad impressions without changing channel lineups (Variety).
  • 02ESPN’s Sept. 17 price lift creates a fresh benchmark for bundle valuation: Unlimited at $31.99/month and Select at $13.99/month (NewscastStudio) give procurement teams a current ‘outside option’ to pressure-test carriage renewals.
  • 03Event-count language is creeping into tier strategy: ESPN says ESPN Unlimited provides access to more than 47,000 live events annually, versus about 32,000 for ESPN Select, according to NewscastStudio.

Record $9.612B Seahawks sale turns ticketing controls and sponsor deliverables into board-level work

Record $9.612B Seahawks sale turns ticketing controls and sponsor deliverables into board-level work

NFL owners approved the league-record $9.612 billion sale of the Seattle Seahawks, per Front Office Sports. Ticket distribution rules and sponsor inventory governance now matter more. Athletic Business cited a Seahawks playoff example with $222.95 face value vs. a $461.50 lowest StubHub listing.

  • 01Record $9.612B valuation, per Front Office Sports, tends to elevate “operationally controllable” cash flows, ticketing policy, inventory yield and sponsor deliverables because those are the knobs teams can actually turn season to season.
  • 02Geographic ticket-sale restrictions can shift demand to resale instead of removing it. Athletic Business’ Seahawks example showed $222.95 face value alongside a $461.50 lowest StubHub listing, a leakage benchmark worth modeling before the next postseason onsale.
  • 03Seahawks-style small-business partner programs can be productized into repeatable inventory. Turf Magazine reported System Pavers joined the Seahawks’ Small Business Program, powered by Eleven Sports Media, built around brand exposure throughout Lumen Field and non-gameday digital inventory.
