Several new products will be launched at the ING Spring Conference.

There will also be educational sessions geared toward the conference theme, “Bridging Golf’s Generation Gap.”

Golf Skate Caddy, eduKaytion Golf, SNAG and Tour Edge will be taking part in such popular conference elements as the One-On-One Appointment Show (a series of private meetings between exhibitors and media) and the Demo Lab (product testing on the range and green).

EDUKAYTION GOLF – LPGA Hall of Fame instructor Kay McMahon, co-founder of eduKaytion Golf with Eloise Trainor, won the 2015 ING Industry Honors award for Player Development with her Golf 8.5 method of instruction. Golf 8.5 teaches golf in a simpler way, eliminating the brain clutter by giving students only 4 things to do before the swing and only 4.5 things to do in the swing. McMahon and Trainor are conducting a one-day Golf 8.5 workshop on Sunday, May 22 at the ING Spring Conference site, and attendees will receive a highly discounted price.

GOLF SKATE CADDY is a personal golf transport product that in some cases is taking the place of golf Demo-GSCcarts because of its many benefits, including less turf damage and optimal physical support for players. The Golf Skate Caddy is also innovating the way golf is played—instead of chasing after everyone’s golf balls in a golf cart, players can go directly to their ball and focus on their game, speeding up play time by up to 25 percent. The company’s mission is “to deliver a new paradigm in how we transverse the game of golf, to introduce a fun, safe yet exhilarating experience as we glide over the fairway whilst speeding up game of play.” http://www.golfskatecaddyusa.com.
