This interactive session brings together emerging research and applied insights shaping the future of golf performance, participation, and industry development. Attendees will explore a diverse range of topics, including player behavior and satisfaction at resort courses, the impact of reward systems on skill development, and comparative performance outcomes across leading launch monitor technologies. Additional posters examine evolving formats such as six-hole play, detailed biomechanics of the kinematic sequence, and precision analysis in putting and club delivery across different surfaces. The session also highlights innovations in golf education, including online biomechanics learning, as well as research on learning styles, anxiety management, and workforce development within the industry.

Designed as both a knowledge exchange and networking opportunity, this reception invites academics, practitioners, and industry leaders to engage directly with presenters, share perspectives, and spark collaboration across golf’s performance, technology, and business ecosystem.
