Has anyone attended one of the meetings put on by the World Scientific Congress of Golf? They have meetings every four years, the last being in St. Andrews. There is going to be one in Phoenix March 24-28 with keynote speakers Tom Wishon, Greg Rose, and Steve Mona. I'm wondering if anyone has attended one of their events, and has an opinion about how well they are run. Here is a link to their site:

I haven't been, but know people in the field that have and have enjoyed it and thought it was well organized.
Research is "ok" in it's purest sense of the word...e.g. one year they had a biomechanical anaylsis study that had a n =1....interesting, but with only 1 subject how much could you really take from it?
But some good info, and good ideas to go back with if you are in the field, or have interest in golf science. And I believe it's worth some continuing eductaion credits for some associations.
+ you can ALWAYS find a golf game at the conference....that's not a bad thing either.
