Amongst the attendees are Chairman and Founder of Parsons Xtreme Golf Bob Parsons, Chief Operating Officer of Topgolf International Zach Shor,  CEO of Legendary Marketing Andrew Wood, and Adam Harris, an app developer.

The event features discussions on golf industry business development, along with talks about solutions for golf technology through smart apps, and future trends in this type of sports.

Themed ‘New Directions’, APGS provides information for the growth of Viet Nam’s golf tourism, and its tourism sector as a whole.

“Many people working in the field of golf, who attended this morning’s conference have never been in Viet Nam before.  I believe that the summit will help them to understand more about our country and people.  Through this event, we can widely promote our tourism and golf tourism to international friends,” said Ms Nguyen Thi Nga, the Chairwoman of BRG Group, Viet Nam’s leading golf course operator.

Earlier on Tuesday, APGS participants competed in the 2017 Asia Pacific Inter-Club Golf Tournment, the opening activity of the summit, at the BRG Danang Golf Resort. 

They were the first athletes to experience the course designed by famed golfer Jack Nicklaus’s company Nicklaus Design.
