Every year this time about 1000 plus exhibitors set up in over 400,000 square feet of exhibition space at the Orange Country Convention Center in Orlando to put on the biggest golf trade show of the year. The exhibitors include Titleist, TaylorMade, Ping, Club Car, Peter Millar, Ralph Lauren Golf, Footjoy, Ecco and everyone in between. It is a smorgasbord of equipment, clothing, shoes, performance drinks, fancy golf carts, swing improvement contraptions, portable swing analysis apps, indoor putting surfaces, and so much more.
The week begins Tuesday with Demo Day sprawling across the wrap around practice range at Orange County National. This is like a lawn party of new equipment offerings and swing clinics.

Demo stations for every brand…every new offering.
Including the latest sales pitch.
Some tips from short game guru Dave Pelz.
