INSIDE GOLF
Inside Golf has announced that
the publication will be a sponsor
of the 2017 GMA Conference.
As a long-time supporter of
GMA—providing content and
coverage in our monthly print
and online platforms for many
years—Inside Golf is pleased to
further that support during this
monumental event in Australian
golf.
“We are incredibly proud to be
a part of this highly-important
event in the Australian Golf
industry,” says Sam Arthur,
Publisher of Inside Golf. “With
the entire industry currently
undergoing a dramatic shift—as
golfers’ needs and habits are
rapidly changing—we feel that
now is a critical time for us to
help managers and their clubs
to not only survive the current
challenges in the industry,
but also thrive well into the
future. We believe that The
GMA Conference is the perfect
platform for that.”
GMA President Andrew
Gay welcomed Inside Golf’s
sponsorship of the event.
“GMA are proud to have Inside
Golf, Australia’s most read
golf magazine, involved in
our upcoming conference,”
he said. “Their support of the
golf industry and of GMA in
these interesting times is vital
in helping Managers succeed
in their challenging and ever
changing roles.
the exhibition space will give
all delegates an opportunity of
exploring what is being offered
within the industry. The theme
this year is “Now is the time to
be different” with the theme
symbolising the reality that
the golf industry must adapt
to the changes in society. Our
keynote speakers were selected
having regard to their relevant
expertise and the regard for the
importance of the subject matter
in which they will be presenting.
“Hosting the conference in
Adelaide has given us access to
specialised conference spaces
allowing us the opportunity
to broaden delegate access to
include key stakeholders from
all facets of the Golf industry.
Having a broader spectrum of
golf industry representatives
involved in the education,
exhibition and networking
components of the conference
will only enhance the experience
for those attending.”
The sponsorship of this event
continues Inside Golf’s long
tradition of helping to grow the
game of golf at both grassroots
and industry levels. The
magazine annually supports
and publicises a diverse variety
of events for charities, junior
golf, women’s golf and events
for blind/deaf/disabled golfers,
and was also recently the title
sponsor of the PGA of Australia’s
NSW/ACT Trainee Match Play
Championship.
“This year we have been
overwhelmed by the number
of sponsors and exhibitors that
are keen to be involved and Inside Golf also sponsors the
QLD GMA Interstate Bursary
program each year, and is a
media sponsor of the QLD PGA
Sunshine Tour.
