Agustin (Augie) Piza slated to speak at the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show

Agustin Piza will discuss his design philosophy coined "Less footprint, more fun"

SAN DIEGO, CA. – February 8, 2022 – Pizá Golf, internationally recognized as a world-class architecture and golf course design firm, will participate in the Lightening Round Learning Session at the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show. He will speak on Thursday, February 10th at 10:00am at the San Diego Convention Center in Ballroom 20.

“It is an honour to contribute to the GCSAA educational portion of the conference and trade show. I look forward to sharing how a small portion of land can be transformed into a golf course facility that can be played in a variety of ways for a fun and exciting golf experience. The concept can also be applied at an existing driving range to attract new or non-golfers as well as increase the ROI. I refer this theory as ‘Less footprint, more fun,” said Augie Pizá, Founder of Pizá Golf.
