NJ Golf Show 2015

[billchao]

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.

Neither of these guys affect my decision to go, one way or another.

I'm there right now. Just put up 324 on the long drive but I'll be putting up a better number later

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. [/quote]I do the same. I'm going to go this year just to see what it's all about.

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

[nevets88]

Long drive contest - to watch - was thinking more from my pov, haha @billchao .

[ElWagonne]

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.

Hey @billchao , how was it?

Hey @billchao , how was it?

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!

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.
