Golf Ventures Inc. is proud to announce that Scott Jones has been retained as International Sales Manager to develop the company’s international turf and landscaping division. Jones is a proven sales leader with more than 33 years’ experience, working in the areas of golf, turf, resorts, and landscaping. “Scott’s knowledge and experience in the Caribbean and Central American markets are invaluable,” said Sales Manager Glen Thompson. “More importantly, he brings a reputation of quality, integrity, and relationship-building, which makes him a good fit for our company and with our customers.”
