Sunday, 07 February 2010

The 13th Seattle Golf Show opens at Qwest Field this coming Friday. Over 200 exhibitors will take to the floor, showcasing the season's best new equipment and golf destinations. PGA Tour pros will be available for free lessons, and golfers will be able to test new products in one of 20 indoor hitting stations.
Free rounds of golf will again be given away to registered adults with paid admission. This year's courses are Port Ludlow, Eaglemont, Eagles Pride at Fort Lewis and Whispering Firs at McChord Air Force Base. Adult attendees also receive a free one-year subscription to 'Golf Digest' and a Washington State Golf Course Directory.
Value-conscious golfers will find deep discounts on brand name golf gear and apparel, with savings of up to 70% off regular price at the show's PGA Clearance Center. Other exhibitors will spotlight new golf discount and loyalty programs. Oki Golf will be introducing its re-vamped Platinum Player's Card. For golfers wanting to get a head start on planning a golf vacation, the show will host representatives of top courses and resorts from throughout the Northwest, Canada, Hawaii, California and Arizona, with many offering attractive play-and-stay travel packages.
Tacoma RV will be giving the winner of an enter-to-win competition a golf package with rounds for two at Circling Raven, Coeur 'd Alene and Palouse Ridge, plus the use of an RV to get there and back. Attendees can also win two rounds of golf for two at Circling Raven, plus two sets of Nike clubs.
The "Western Washington Long Drive Challenge" returns and will be staged in three golf simulators provided by Dancin' Dogg Golf. Qualifying rounds in four divisions (men's open, men 40-60, men 60-plus and women's open) will lead to the finals after the show at The Golf Club at Newcastle. First place in the men's open division wins $750 or a deluxe golf vacation package.
The winner of "Putt for Dough" meanwhile, takes home a $500 merchandise certificate courtesy of Puetz Golf and the top eight finishers each receive a new putter courtesy of Pollen Golf. Qualifying rounds will take place during the first two days of the show, before a matchplay ladder is used on Sunday to determine the ultimate winner.
The 'Puget Sound Business Journal' joins the show's line-up of sponsors with the "Target Golf" hitting station. Participants who hit the target receive one free round from Mount Si Golf Course and a complimentary four-week subscription to the Journal.
PGA professionals will be providing free clubs for children aged 12 and under who will have the previously-owned clubs cutom-fitted for them on the spot.
