The Indoor Golf Alliance (IGA) has formed an Indoor Golf Standards Advisory Board, described as a new “panel of industry leaders who will help shape and guide the direction of the indoor golf industry.”
IGA said the new Board will draw on decades of combined experience across golf facility ownership, simulator technology, retail, and event management to advise the IGA on equipment standards and industry direction with the goal of “ensuring the indoor golf industry remains safe and free of substandard equipment.”
The board’s guidance is intended to give indoor golf operators confidence that the equipment they use meets a consistent standard of quality and safety.
“This board brings together some of the most respected operators, technologists, and sales leaders in indoor golf,” said Phil Immordino, president, Indoor Golf Alliance. “Their insight will help us set clear, practical standards that protect operators and players alike, and that strengthen the credibility of our industry as a whole.”
The Indoor Golf Standards Advisory Board is expected to work alongside IGA staff and members on an ongoing basis, reviewing equipment and best-practice guidance and providing feedback on standards as the indoor golf category continues to grow.
The Indoor Golf Standards Advisory Board includes:
- Cathy Harbin, Pineridge Golf Course
- Cory Gauvreau, Owner, Par2Pro Simulators
- Sameer Gupta, Co-Founder, EventPlay
- Chase Johnson, VP, TruSim Systems
- Chris Koske, CMO Golftec/Skytec
- Matt Majka, Sales Director, Ace Indoor
- Jeff Pratt, Director of Sales, Golfjoy
- Sam Stover, Managing Partner, Gimmes Par & Grill
IGA said its mission is to serve as the leading hub for connection, education, promotion, and innovation across the industry, from manufacturers and suppliers to facility operators, leagues, instructors, and entrepreneurs.
