The Golf Show provides consumers with a sneak preview into some of the upcoming season from all areas of the golf and travel industries, including the latest in golf equipment, accessories and apparel, as well as information, deals and savings from golf courses, golf destinations and travel retailers.


2010 Show Highlights:

  • Acura is back as presenting sponsor and will conduct a “Ride & Drive” contest in partnership with Cobble Beach. The contest will be similar to last year’s successful “Ride & Drive”, which gave one lucky winner the opportunity to test drive the new 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD from Toronto to Cobble Beach Golf Links in Owen Sound.
  • Callaway has been announced as the “Experience Partner” of the 2010 Golf & Travel Show. The experience includes Callaway’s presence in several booths throughout the show floor, featuring Callaway Footwear, the Odyssey putting challenge, and Callaway’s new uPro and uPro Go GPS. In addition, Callaway will have their cube van parked beside the retail space to provide custom club fitting. Callaway will also be partnering with the EWGA at the on-site Ladies demo range.
  • On Friday, March 5 golf teaching icon and coach to countless PGA Tour players, David Leadbetter will be on hand. David is known throughout the world for his innovative and creative teaching techniques and has been associated with Callaway Golf as its staff teaching pro since 1997.
  • Tournament Sports will host a special guest appearance by golf icon Nancy Lopez. Lopez will appear on Sunday March 7, “Ladies Day” at the Golf Show. There is an autograph signing as well as an interview on the main stage planned.
