Atlanta, GA – The National Golf Buyers Association (NGBA), also known as the Golf Headquarters Group, successfully wrapped up its 2025 Annual Meeting & Show, held Sunday, October 5th through Wednesday, October 8th, in Atlanta, Georgia. Nearly the entire membership was represented – representing premier independent golf retailers across the country. They were joined by a robust lineup of the organization’s key vendor partners, making for one of the most well-attended and engaging events in NGBA history.
This year’s show offered a dynamic blend of networking, education, and first-hand product experiences with some of the game’s most influential brands. A highlight of the week was a special half-day visit to Bridgestone Golf’s global headquarters in Covington, Georgia, where attendees toured the company’s state-of-the-art golf ball manufacturing and testing facilities. Members had a unique opportunity to witness the technology and precision behind Bridgestone’s world-class golf ball production.
Later in the week, attendees spent time with Mizuno USA, visiting both its distribution center in Braselton, Georgia and its newly opened fitting and innovation facility—The Foundry—at The Standard Club in Johns Creek, Georgia. These exclusive visits offered NGBA members valuable insights into the craftsmanship, logistics, and fitting technologies driving Mizuno’s continued success in the golf marketplace.
“The energy and engagement at this year’s show were simply outstanding,” said Ken Morton Jr., Chairman of the Board for the NGBA. “Having nearly every member and a strong showing of vendor partners in attendance speaks volumes about the strength and camaraderie within this organization. Our visits with Bridgestone and Mizuno showcased the innovation and partnerships that keep the NGBA at the forefront of independent golf retail.”
