ING Conference Day 3: One-On-One Appointment Show Always A Staple
In what has become a staple of the ING Spring Conference, the One-on-One Appointment Show once again proved to be a conference highlight. Thirty exhibitors displayed their wares and explained their products to media members over four and a half hours in the Edinburgh conference center Tuesday at the 21st ING Spring Conference at Innisbrook Resort.
Highlights from the session included: Swan Lake Golf Resort, situated in Plymouth, IN and 90 miles from Chicago’s Midway Airport and 30 minutes south of South Bend, home of the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. The resort features two championship 18-hole courses as well as a state-of-the-art conference center.
Golf Mesquite. The area is located 80 miles from Las Vegas and has grown to nine courses and four hotels in the past 10-years. It has been the long-time home to the REMAX World Long Drive Championship and now features the second largest amateur competition in the country, the Mesquite Amateur. The latter event has become a virtual celebration of golf where golf, entertainment, gourmet food and rousing parties are served in large portions.
Tour Links. Perhaps they can’t fix your putting stroke, but Tour Links can build you a premium quality, modular artificial putting green where you can work on perfecting your flat stick wizardry. The key to the Tour Links putting green is their patented interlocking panel system that allows the green to be constructed on any surface in or outdoors. They feature a variety of shapes and sizes that can transform an office or back yard into a veritable putting laboratory.
Golfing Machine. How many times have you had a golf lesson and been left wondering why the instruction was the polar opposite of what you were told by another instructor. The Golfing Machine is an instructional program whose mantra is consistency. They’ve adapted the teachings of the legendary Homer Kelley as written in his epic book, “The Golfing Machine” in which he breaks down the golf swing into geometrical terms. Instructors who have entered this program are trained in these terms and can evaluate and advise golfers on both a geometrical and biomechanical level.
Razor Golf. Just when you thought advances in the design and effectiveness of fairway woods had been eclipsed, Razor Golf has taken their technology to a new level with their new Mutation Fairway woods. They have given golfers of every skill level to maximize their skills with perfectly balanced fairway woods. No longer will the toe flare open or the toe shut done, due to poor heel – toe weighting. Straight, long fairway wood shots are now just a swing away.
Visit Wales. You thought that golf in Wales ended with the 2010 Ryder Cup. In fact, it had only just begun. Golf tourism rose from 30,000 or the year to 200,000. More importantly. Golf revenue increased from seven million pounds to 42 million and this DOES NOT include the people who attended or spent money during the Ryder Cup. With fine courses every bit the equal of those found in Scotland and Ireland and value surpassing both, Wales is rapidly becoming a premier golf destination for players the world over.
