AGM: How do you see the retail landscape evolving in the next few years, and what can golf retailers do now to stay ahead of the curve?

DH: To stay ahead of the curve, golf retailers should focus on embracing digital tools, offering personalized and high-touch experiences, promoting sustainability, leveraging data, and using social media strategically. Retailers who position themselves as experience-driven, community-focused, and tech-enabled will be well-placed to thrive in the evolving retail landscape.

AGM: What actionable insights or strategies can AGM members expect to take away from your session to immediately implement in their golf shops?

These action steps will be clearly laid out allowing retailers to see their own shop through a renewed, objective view. More importantly, attendees will learn strategies to drive better performance and profitability right now and into the future!
