2010 Golf Shows?

[juanrjackson]

Anyone been to any golf shows this year? The big golf show is next weekend in the Washington, DC area.

Anyone been...got any feedback?

Phila Golf Show is Feb 12-14. I'll probably go but don't get much out of them unless staying at the linked hotel for a day and a half.. Can't afford that this year.

The Louisville golf show was a waste of time....Best part was Brian Pavlet's demo

just saw a billboard today for the dallas golf show. upon further inspection, the dates were jan 29-31. needless to say, i was a little disappointed. however, i wouldn't have bought anything anyways.

I doubt very serously if i will buy anything ether at the golf show.....so I'm wondering if it is worth even going.

I went to the Indinapolis IN Golf show last weekend, it was ok, Got some info on a few courses in other states i'd like to try. Found a good deal on some Taylormade gloves 3 for $18.00 , and the best part here was the Manufactors demo area, paid 5.00 for a small bucket of balls and got to try the r9 TP irons and love the feel, but most of all hit the Cobra ZL driver with the VooDoo shaft. I like the feel of that new driver allot

speaking of demo-ing clubs, i think i found demo heaven last year. outside of austin is the golfsmith world headquarters. we had some time to kill, so my girl and i decide to peruse the store. it was big, but it was rather unimpressive as i've been spoilt by the PGA superstore here in plano(dallas suburb). i asked to demo the new ping driver and the gentleman told me to go outside to the demo barn. holy $⁢, this place had every driver known to man, and just about every set of irons as well. best thing was, for each club you demo, you get a little ticket for 20 balls free. that's right, free!

I've never been to one. There is one in Boston March 5 - 7. Is it worth it if you've never been to one?

went to the one in Seattle last year, and it's coming up again Feb. 12-14.
i was pretty disappointed last year. basically you just walk around and look at crap and you can hit balls off of turf pads into nets 10 feet away from you. then guys try and persuade you into buying crap by assuming you don't know anything and using fancy words like "cavity back", "upright", "bounce" and "torque". big whoop.

that said, i'll probably go again if i'm bored
