ATLANTIC CITY, NJ. — (September 6, 2007) – After spending a year as a panelist at the International Network of Golf Regional Seminar, it didn’t take Player’s Pass president Andy Mears long to decide that he wanted Player’s Pass to take an even stronger role in the golf industry. Player’s Pass, a fast-growing golf discount company, is returning to the ING Regional Seminar as one of the major sponsors.
The International Network of Golf Regional Seminar, which will be held for the third year in Atlantic City on October 29, 30 and 31, is greatly involved with Growth of the Game initiatives and Player’s Pass is at the forefront of the movement.
"I saw that ING, on both the regional and national level, is sincerely involved with growing the game of golf," said Mears, a PGA member who serves on the PGA Growth of the Game committee in the Michigan PGA Section. "That is one of the major concerns of Player’s Pass. We want to help people play more golf and save money while they are doing it. The one goal actually feeds the other."
Mike Jamison is the executive director of the International Network of Golf and sees the benefit of companies like Player’s Pass, who use ING to further their goals in growing the game. "In just a few short years Andy Mears has proved to be a valuable ally to ING," said Jamison. "This organization is built on members who use the networking potential of our conferences to grow their business. As a result, the entire game of golf grows."
The International Network of Golf is a 17-year-old organization dedicated to education and communication in the golf industry. It is coming back to Atlantic City, after holding two extremely successful Mid-Atlantic Regional Golf Seminars in Atlantic City in ’05 and ’06.
The highlight of each year for the ING is its annual Spring Conference. Next year it will be held in Atlantic City (May 26-30) – a direct result of the success the Regional Seminars have enjoyed. As a matter of supporting the efforts of the national conference and addressing local issues, the Regional Golf Seminar in Atlantic City was instituted to bring the same focus on education and communication within the golf industry to the Mid-Atlantic region.
The seminar will bring together some of the top minds in all facets of the golf industry for three days of seminars, panel discussions, exhibitions and networking.
The three days of education and communication will all begin with an 18-hole golf tournament at Mays Landing Golf and CC, just west of Atlantic City. The seminar will be held in the Sheraton Convention Center Hotel in Atlantic City.
The Mid-Atlantic Regional Golf Seminar is open to anyone who wants to learn more about the golf industry, network with some of its leaders or bring their latest ideas to the media.
Reasonably priced packages for the conference have been arranged through Gary Shea at Golf Vacations (877-320-1991). Also, information is available on the website at www.golfvacations.com/ing.
