The Orange County Convention Centre in Orlando, Florida will welcome professionals and representatives from the United States golf industry from 23rd to 26th January 2013.

(TRAVPR.COM) UK - January 17th, 2013 - Some golf shows are open to the public, but the PGA Merchandise Show stands apart; it is conceived and presented as an event exclusively intended for the golf trade. The 2013 event marks the show’s 60th anniversary.

This means that those in attendance generally consist of individuals such as professional golfers from the PGA or LPGA, buyers for retail golf establishments, course managers or developers, golf instructors, and a variety of other industry professionals.

The show will take place in the West Hall at the convention centre and will be open free of charge to PGA buyers and PGA professionals, each of whom can sponsor up to four guests for free entry. Other professionals who provide the golf industry with services can attend for a fee that represents the substantial value to be gained from networking with others at the event.

Special Events

The 2013 PGA Merchandise Show will feature a number of special events designed to benefit those in attendance. One of these is the new product zone, where the latest advances in golf apparel, equipment and accessories are drawn together in one location. This event will be available throughout the length of the show.

Another special event is the PGA Section Short Game Challenge. The competitors will play two chips and two putts, with the total distance of the four shots used to determine the winners on a daily basis.

From 5pm until 7pm on 23rd January, the Association of Golf Merchandisers will preview collections offered by their vendor partners, followed by an industry reception at which all show attendees are welcome.

To see a wealth of detailed information about exhibitors and other special events, such as the short game challenge, golf enthusiasts are invited to visit the official website of the PGA Merchandise Show at http://www.pgashow.com/.
