I looked at the appearances and it is a list full of no names compared to Annika and others in the past.. To me it's really a big demo day we et get the clubs. But it is something to do.

This is not a Villages sponsored event. It is a Villages provided event. By glad you do not have to travel to Orlando or Ocala to attend it.

Be kinda tough to drive to it in you cart too.

You're right 7.00 this year. My post was 2 years ago (3/12/2010) and for what's it worth it cost 8.00 at the pro shops. Nice to know it was 1.00 less this year compared to 2 years ago..........

Golf Fest Equipment Orders

I purchased an Odessy White Ice putter at the Golf Fest. I made the purchase after trying the putter and after having it fitted to my tall size. I was told it would be shipped to Sarasota Golf Shop in 5 business days. Not True!

It is now March 20 and still no new putter and nothing but excuses from the golf shop when I call them. Has anyone else had this issue with orders not being met as promised? I do not like being mislead by vendors. If they could not meet their promised deadline, they should say so up front. I am at the point where I am thinking about canceling the custom order and contacting my credit card company. I have purchased many clubs and putters online from Calloway and they always ship within 5-7 business days, even sooner if I pay for expedited shipping. Anyone else having this same problem from Golf Fest club purchases?

I missed due to friends in town and too busy. Maybe next time.

Finally on March 24 my putter finally arrived. To be fair, the Arnold Palmer Custom Shop had little control over the problem. It was more on misinformation given by the vendor at the event, and Calloway not staying on top of their game out in California. Anyways, I have my new putter and new hope for a better short game!
