August message from the President

August has been a busy month for the ICG.

Our new Website is getting very close to being ready for everyone to see, invitations will be sent out to members and sponsors in the near future.  There are many features with this new site and an initial "get started" webinar will be held to help everyone get going. Interaction is the theme of the site and programming chosen for our site. Members/Sponsors will be able to set up unique public or private neighborhoods (called circles), where you can communicate with the entire Guild or your own individual private groups. It may take a little time to get familiar with the software but the potential is seemingly limitless.Thanks are certainly in order to the team who has worked so hard to get this going (Jacques, Frank and Gerald)! 

Our COY Team has been very busy as well, invitations have already started to go out to eligible (ICG Certified) candidates!

The 2015 PGA Show is officially a go! The ICG will have a presence and Tent at the PGA Show Demo Day (A first for any Clubmaking Organization) We are and will be contacting Sponsors to participate in the event. If you know of any candidates for this please let us know, or if you are a Sponsor and are interested please contact myself or Frank Viola (space at the Demo Day will be limited!).

With everything that is taking place within the ICG, there are bound to be some issues that come up. Conversely groundwork is being laid for the future with automation and functionality the primary concern. I believe that the direction we are taking will pay dividends ten fold in the future. With the new Website and it's abilities, we are shoring up the foundation of our virtual home. Our Webinars are unparalleled in the Clubmaking/Fitting industry, with a knockout fall schedule coming up. By adding the Demo Day presence at the PGA Show, and the establishment of the Clubmaker of the Year Award, we the ICG, can truly ask the question now,,,,,
