Australia’s golf business event - Golf Business Forum \ PGA Expo - has announced a principal partnership with SHANX Mini Golf, producers of some of Australia’s best mini golf courses.

SHANX has facilities at Regency Park Community Golf Course in Adelaide, Links Shell Cove on the New South Wales south coast and has just commenced construction of a new facility at Pacific Harbour Golf & Country Club at Bribie Island in Queensland.

Gavin Kirkman, Chief Executive PGA of Australia enthused “we’re thrilled to welcome SHANX Mini Golf as Principal Partner of Golf Business Forum \ PGA Expo 2022.

“SHANX provides a great way for Australians to play golf, have fun, and get them involved in our great game.  Also, it provides a great commercial proposition for golf facilities and clubs to encourage the broader community to be involved.”

Golf Australia Chief Executive James Sutherland notes “It’s great news that the Golf Business Forum \ PGA Expo has partnered with SHANX, an organisation that is doing a wonderful job introducing people to golf and providing great entertainment and fun experiences for golfers young and old.

“SHANX continues to provide inclusive and fun experiences and it’s great to have them on board with us as we grow golf as a sport that offers something for everyone.”

SHANX Managing Director, Peter Vlahandreas added “we have long been advocates of innovation and change within the golf industry and now with SHANX Mini Golf we have an opportunity to deliver our messages and deliver that change. SHANX was born from a need to be different, do different and achieve new outcomes in our industry. The Golf Business Forum, when established, set out to do the same and now combined with the PGA Expo, in partnership we can truly deliver an innovative message and offer for the Australian golf business community.”

The event will attract more than 550 attendees from across the Australian golf industry and beyond, and will be held at CENTREPIECE at Melbourne Park from 12th-13th October 2022.
