Education At The ING Spring Conference
                     Award-Winning Marketing Strategist Michael Barber
                  Will Share Tips On The Best E-Mail Marketing Practices
   E-mail isn’t the sexiest marketing topic, nor is it the
most fun, but if done well it can lead to the highest ROI
of any channel in your marketing mix.
   Attendees at the 30th Anniversary ING Spring
Conference will have the opportunity to learn the latest
and greatest concepts in email marketing at the Tuesday
afternoon ING University Session. The conference is
scheduled for May 31-June 3 at the Valley Forge Casino
Resort in King of Prussia, PA.
   Michael Barber, an award-winning creative and
marketing strategist, will lead the ING University session
on Tuesday, June 2 at 2 pm.

after the first email campaign was sent.

explores some of the best and most practical ways to
improve your e-mail campaigns, and shows you just why           has been awarded numerous industry awards, but more

ING Top 30 GAME-CHANGERS
    ING Celebrates Milestone Anniversary By Naming
      Top 30 Game-Changers Of The Past 30 Years
       The International Network of Golf is celebrating its
    30th year of networking the golf industry by creating
    a list of the Top 30 Game-Changers over the past 30
    years in the golf industry.
       The list includes products, services, programs, gov-
    erning decisions, technology, and outstanding perfor-
    mances in competition that have changed the game.
       Dozens of people from across the golf industry and
    media sent in their top five Game-Changers of the past
    30 years. The ING Staff then compiled all the nomina-
    tions into four groups, based on the number of times a
    Game-Changer was nominated.
        A committee consisting of members of the ING Ad-
    visory Board then voted for their top choices in each
    group. Those votes were tallied and the top 30 Game-
    Changers list was finalized.
       ING will begin announcing the Top 30 Game-
    Changers at the PGA Merchandise Show Jan. 22-24
    from the ING Hospitality Room (312 A/B).
       ING will gradually publish the results on a weekly
    basis, with the TOP FIVE being announced at the 30th
    Anniversary ING Spring Conference May 31-June 3, 2020 at the Valley Forge Casino Resort in King of Prussia, PA.

                         Sacks Parente Putters
  By MIKE KERN
  Remember falling in at least deep like with a
club that you just tried for the first time?
  That was my reaction after I was introduced
to the Sacks Parente putters at the 2019 ING
Demo Lab. The ball came off the face pure.
And rolled true. So what more needs to be
computed?
  After all this time, my stroke actually felt the
way it’s supposed to. Imagine that.
  “We get that a lot,” acknowledged Angelo
