Women in Golf- Education and Golf Day by Bayer Canada ES
Bayer hosted its third in a series of Women in Golf events. The Women in Golf program was founded by Bayer to provide an opportunity for women in the turf industry to network, learn and share their experiences. Each event is comprised of an educational component and provides an opportunity for networking. Quite fittingly, this education and golf event was held at the iconic Ladies Club that was established by Ada Mackenzie in 1924 as a club for Women only!
