It is a huge show. I have not gone for a couple of years as there was not enough different from year to year and I did not have money the to buy anything anyway
.
My Dad still goes every year. He gets passes for us and friends from a golf course in MA.
The one place I always enjoyed hanging out at the show was the golf training aids section. I could get lost in there for hours talking to inventors about new aids they made. Some you roll your eyes at, but some were very clever. The top of the line stuff the pros get to use is incredible. The machines dedicated to the putting stroke alone were really fun to use.
The last time I was there I was chatting with a guy who was selling a thing that looked like a clothes pin which you clipped onto your clubs instead of laying them on the green when it is wet. I said, you should try to get on that
silly inventor's show on the golf channel to which he said, I did , I won last years show, to which I thought
. Nice guy, we chatted for quite a while.
