Speakers
Landscape architect, arborist, author, blogger, teacher - Richard Mandellof Pinehurst wears many hats, but he has recently distinguished himself by his leadership in creating the "Symposium on Affordable Golf" last fall. Mandell was the catalyst in assembling an all-star cast of industry professionals to delve into the challenge to make golf more affordable, and to grow the game.
