“As a professional golf marketer, I rely on NGF for insights as well as marketing execution which is why we recently became an Executive Member. Their recent millennial research is at the core of our long-term strategic plan, while their annual reports and NGF Symposium help us be agile and pivot year after year as new findings are revealed. Finally we’ve had great returns from their marketing partnership department reaching the professional and leisure targets we need as a resort to grow annually. NGF is an all in one solution for the courses at Whistling Straits & Blackwolf Run as they provide the insights we need to drive the new ideas that will have lasting impact on the health of our resort and ongoing development.”
