New interactive golf show heads to Manchester
A new show is set to launch in Manchester offering golf fans the chance to see and test the latest clubs as well as be entertained and educated by the experts.
The Golf Show Group will hold the event at EventCity over the weekend of April 5 to 7 and it will follow the same format as the long-running London show, which is now in its eighth year.
The show will be the first of its kind in the north west, and aims to provide an interactive experience for all attendees. It welcomes new retail partners Express Golf and Monarch Airlines along with established brands such as TaylorMade, Callaway, Mizuno, Cleveland, Nike, Wilson, Cobra and Yonex.
Visitors will be able to test the latest products on offer and gain insight into state-of-the-art equipment innovations throughout the weekend. With 16 driving bays and custom-fitting experts on site, the event provides an ideal base to source a new set of clubs or make key alterations and additions with the new season around the corner.
European Tour accredited putting coach Andy Gorman and other PGA professionals will be on hand to offer expert advice and guidance, and visitors will also be able to view expert interviews, discussions and master classes on all aspects of the game including biomechanics, mind coaching, strength and conditioning.
Trick-shot world champion Geoff Swain will provide entertainment throughout the weekend, performing alongside Kevin Carpenter as “The Golf Trick Shot Boys”.
There will also be a designated ‘kids zone’ and competitions including nearest to the pin, longest putt and longest drive challenges. Prizes include Monarch flights to various world-wide destinations.
“Manchester has been on our radar for a number of years and now the time is right for us to expand,” said MD Damian Benstead. “EventCity will provide a fantastic backdrop for us to engage with golfers. Our feedback suggests it will be supported by exhibitors and golfers alike.”
