It's going on right now through Sunday. I've never been to one of these. I always say I'm going to go, and for one reason or another, don't. As of now, I'm going to check it out tomorrow.

Here's their site: http://northcoastgolfshows.com/shows/new-jersey/

I don't really know what to expect, but I'm not expecting a lot. Exhibitor list has a lot of travel/vacation companies, which I have no interest in. Maybe there will be good deals on merchandise. I'll probably spend most of my time demoing stuff.

Anybody else planning on going to this? @nevets88 , got any plans for tomorrow?

Free lessons, club demos and the long drive contest (to watch.) Probably some specials available from the golf courses at the show. Unfortunately I've got visitors from out of town this weekend @billchao otherwise, I'd take you up on the offer. Michael Breed is gonna be there tomorrow.

Are you suggesting that I'm not going to win? ;-) [quote name="nevets88" url="/t/80449/nj-golf-show-2015#post_1109951"] Unfortunately I've got visitors from out of town this weekend @billchao otherwise, I'd take you up on the offer. [/quote]That's cool. Enjoy your weekend. I'll let you know if you miss anything interesting. [quote name="nevets88" url="/t/80449/nj-golf-show-2015#post_1109951"] Michael Breed is gonna be there tomorrow. [/quote]And David Leadbetter will be there on Sunday, but I'll be busy that day. Neither of these guys affect my decision to go, one way or another.

Boston's is this weekend too.  The exhibitor list is similar.  I keep thinking of going and never do.  If there were more equipment vendors then maybe.

Ok, I guess I won't be winning the Long Drive contest :-D [quote name="boogielicious" url="/t/80449/nj-golf-show-2015#post_1109965"]Boston's is this weekend too.  The exhibitor list is similar.  I keep thinking of going and never do.  If there were more equipment vendors then maybe.

You get a free subscription to golf magazine with admission so that is always a plus.

They have one here in Dallas this weekend.  It is good to keep your Golf Digest subscription refreshed.  Other than that.....bunch of timeshare or vacation advertisers, though Golfsmith and Edwin Watts used to have a decent selection.  Not sure who thinks it's a good idea to close on the first day (Friday) at 6PM, but oh well.

You know how that saying goes about the best laid plans? I didn't go. :-)

Neither did I.  I spent the weekend removing ice from the driveway and sidewalk instead!

Wasn't the Boston show last weekend?

Yes.  That is what I was referring to.  I always think about going but never do.  The vendor list was mostly vacation stuff.

You missed out. It is worth it just to see Brian Pavlet hit a ball through a piece of wood from less than 10 feet away. They had Jason Zuback doing a demo another year.

We threw a party on Sunday that needed some last minute prep, so that's what I ended up doing.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By jsgolfer ·

      Both @DaveP043 and I play in our interclub matches every year, and have been team Captains as well.  There are always a few courses, mine is one, that win a lot of matches (we've won twice in the last 7 years), and we've been labeled as sandbaggers.  However, I really think that our course was rated too low (our greens just never seemed to get factored in enough), and thus our Handicaps were always a stroke or maybe 2 above, what they would've been if the course was rated higher.  And then when we went and played other courses, their slope and rating were much higher than ours, and sometimes I would get a 2 or 3 stroke bump on top of that.  It was definitely an advantage.  However, this past year, our course was rated again and the slope has gone up, so we'll see if we continue to have the same benefit.  Season starts this Sunday for us.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By snapfade ·

      I would not do anything until I met with an instructor and got your swing looked at. There are some obvious better club options out there though. Spend 50 bucks on a lesson, practice and start piecing together a bag that works for you. Enjoy the journey.
