		When the National Golf Tournament Directors Association was founded in 
		1996, Gail Barron was one of the first to join and attend NGTDA’s 
		professional training program to teach golf tournament directors how to 
		run a successful event.  
		In addition to the on-site logistics of the tournament itself, a 
		successful golf event requires selecting the appropriate course for a 
		company or organization’s participants. Factors such as course 
		difficulty, length and reputation as well as tournament format, figure 
		into the enjoyment. Additionally, equally important to the equation are 
		sponsor solicitation and compliance, golf pairings, contest holes, prize 
		and amenity selection and food and beverage options.  
		With a principal who herself golfs and understands the game’s etiquette, 
		Meetings Management Network creates an above par event that participants 
		will reference for years to come.
