LAKE MARY, FL – Adam Rehberg of Bridgestone Golf will address a current industry hot topic – golf ball technology – at the International Network of Golf (ING) Spring Forum.
The ING Spring Forum will be hosted by The Landings Golf & Athletic Club in beautiful and historic Savannah, GA. The event, scheduled for June 1-4, will be headquartered at the Thompson Hotel.
Two rounds of golf, including the annual Durland Cup and the Pro Golf Weekly Points Championship, are on the schedule, along with several industry and host presentations, an open mic session, and all the networking ING is famous for. It will be conducted by the 35-year-old, non-profit networking organization, ING.
Rehberg will share with attendees the technology within the golf ball – how we got to where we are, and what to expect in the future. With discussions ongoing about rolling back the distance of the golf ball to protect historic layouts from becoming obsolete, this promises to be a lively presentation.
