LAKE MARY, FL – In June of 1999, Pinehurst Resort played host to one of the most memorable U.S. Opens in history, when Payne Stewart locked up the title with a par-saving putt on the 72nd hole.
In 2005, the U.S. Open returned to Pinehurst (Michael Campbell’s victory). And in 2014, Pinehurst will become the first ever to host back-to-back the U.S. Open and the U.S. Women’s Open championships.
While those USGA majors join hundreds of other big-time golf competitions to have taken place at “The Home of American Golf,” a milestone event of a different kind will happen at Pinehurst next month.
The 20th Anniversary ING Spring Conference is set for May 9-13. Anyone in the golf industry and golf media is invited to participate. Approximately 200 people are expected at this annual gathering of media and golf industry leaders, conducted by the non-profit International Network Of Golf.
But now is the time to book your hotel accommodations. The special rate for ING Conference attendees is good for rooms booked by Friday, April 9. After that, the ING rate is not guaranteed. For instructions on booking your room, or to register for the conference, call 407-328-0500, ext. 1, or visit www.inggolf.com.
The four-day conference is full of educational events, networking opportunities, product displays and tests, and lots of golf. The very popular ING One-On-One Appointment Show provide a platform for private meetings to encourage business relationships. Also on the diverse ING itinerary will be workshops, speakers, the product Demo Lab, the Food For Thought Breakfast, and more.
For registration details, or for general information, call 407-328-0500, ext. 1.
