Exhibiting on the day:This itinerary has been carefully put together to identify how the golf industry can create a competitive socialising environment that can support improved sustainability for the new players that have joined golf since COVID-19 came into our lives.
Limited tickets remain to GolfBIC 2022 - an action packed ‘in-person’ event open for members and non-members of the UK Golf Federation, that will investigate the challenges other sporting sectors face and where golf sits amongst these sports.
Historically, the golf industry has rarely compared itself with other sports and has been behind in managing pathways into the game,
inclusivity, and how golf performs alongside other games open to the community.
As COVID has affected each and every sport in many different ways, GolfBIC will provide the perfect opportunity to highlight these challenges along with their solutions so that we are well prepared for similar situations in the future.
Doug Poole, CEO of the UK Golf Federation commented "Ultimately GolfBIC22 looks to energise all the visions and information gained from the leading speakers from other sports to support its mantra of ‘growing golf participation for its members and the benefit of the whole of the golf
industry’.”
