Session Title

Millennial Research Findings from Nextgengolf and GGA Partners

Description

In many clubs today, the long-held expectations and perceptions of existing, aging members are at odds with the entirely different needs and expectations of a new wave of younger, more casual members. The challenge for clubs? To create an environment which not only appeals to the new wave, but where members of all types can coexist.

Takeaways

  1. Who are these Millennial and Generation Z golfers?
  2. How can they benefit my club?
  3. Why does this generation play golf and barriers to entry?
