Come and listen to how Topgolf is changing the golfing landscape and how this is going to spread to Asia in the near future.

Technology will be taking centre-stage at APGS 2017 with Smart Apps being discussed in great detail. This push, aimed at sucking Asian golf clubs into the digital age, will be led by digital technology expert Adam Harris from London who has an incredible hands-on understanding of how golf clubs can harness Smart Apps to become more modern, stream-lined and appealing to both members and guests.
