We are pleased to announce DryJect Southwest as a new NGCOA Arizona Sponsor!

DryJect is aeration for the 21st century. It uses its high-pressure, water-based injection system to blast aeration holes through the root zone to fracture the soil, while it’s patented vacuum technology simultaneously fills holes with amendment. Relieve compaction, increase water filtration, reach the root zone with oxygen and amend your soil all at the same time, leaving the surface smooth and playable. Learn more at Dryject’s website here.

We are pleased to announce Quick18 as our newest NGCOA AZ Annual Sponsor. 

Quick18 is the only company in the golf industry building custom mobile apps for golf courses focused on commerce.

Quick18 has been building these commerce driven apps since 2011. Recently, the company rolled out a new design with a quicker 3-tap booking process among other unique features. Considering the mobile economy we are now in, Quick18 has yet again become a leader with their development of GolfCash. This is a mobile payment platform designed for each golf course’s custom branded mobile apps. GolfCash provides a new direct to consumer revenue stream with prepayment that enforces loyalty.

Get on board with the mobile revolution.
