ATLANTIC CITY, NJ. — (September 27, 2007) – Ballzee, a West Chester-based golf company, has returned as supporting sponsor for the ING Mid-Atlantic Regional Golf Seminar.
The event is a function of the International Network of Golf, a 17-year-old organization dedicated to education and communication in the golf industry. It is coming back to Atlantic City for a third year to stage the Mid-Atlantic Regional Golf Seminar. This years’ scheduled return date is October 29, 30 and 31, with headquarters at the Sheraton Convention Center Hotel.
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. Also, an alliance has been struck with the New Jersey Golf Course Owners Association and the Eastern Pennsylvania Golf Course Owners Association that will result in more than double the amount of people attending the golf conference.
Ballzee, a new company that burst onto the golf scene by earning New Product of the Year at the 2005 PGA Merchandise Show in Florida when it introduced its pocket-sized golf ball cleaning tool, has grown quickly and is now becoming involved in other areas of golf manufacturing. An entire line of Ballzee golf accessories has been developed. Information is available at www.getballzee.com.
"Things have happened fast for us," admitted Ed Sprague, president of Ballzee. "Part of the explosion was due to our involvement in the first two ING Regional Seminars. We were able to meet and network with a number of key people in the golf industry. With the expansion of the seminar this year, it was natural for us to become involved on a sponsorship level again."
The three days of education and communication will begin with an 18-hole golf tournament at Mays Landing Golf and CC. As a result of the success of the last two Regional Seminars, the Atlantic City area was selected as a host site for the national ING Conference in May of 2008.
"Our annual spring conferences have grown to the point where they are regarded as one of the key events on the annual golf business calendar," said Mike Jamison, executive director of the International Network of Golf and a key figure at the ING Regional Seminar. "We have an extremely strong membership in the Mid-Atlantic region and I am overjoyed at the fact that the first two years’ conferences were so successful and have expanded again for this year. There are a lot of critical issues in the golf industry and they need to be addressed at the regional level as well as the national level."
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.
