I know its been metioned on here before but I can't find the thread, so what are the dates for the golf show here in Ottawa? I think it is at the OAC but is there another one or is that the main event?

Hmmm, didn't see OttawaGolf.com or Reservation Masters in the Exhibitor's list.
Although it is not mentioned on the front page it can be found by clicking on the "floor plan and exhibitor list" button. :-)
Booth 305-307 :wave
Is there usaully Demo clubs and OEM reps there? I didn't see anything on the web about it, nor did I see CB's or Golf Town on the list...weird.
Denny
We are in booth 327, 329
The exibitor's list does not include us. I have requested that be fixed. Thanks for the heads up.
Yes, there are always demo clubs and OEM reps there. Good chance to try out some new stuff.Quote:

Do we get anyting!? :P
Last year they gave out a couple of free green fees upon entry.
They used to give a sleeve of balls as part of the admission, but didn't last year.
Is is 10 bucks a day or is there a weekend pass? Thought the pass thing was a great deal when I read the Barrie Golf Show thread.

It was worth it last year for the free greens fees alone. I think you got 2 for Mont Ste Marie (early season only) Maybe it was only one and I just "borrowed" my wife's pass. I was mildly disappointed last year, but if you're interested in travel packages and a lot of 2 for 1 offers from area courses, it's worthwhile. It's also in march, when I'm DYING to do anything golf related.
The Ottawa Golf Show has always been a good event. There's a significant difference between the that show and the one in Barrie. Aside from catering to a different size population, it's also under the umbrella of a smaller business (Gorilla Golf, formerly Pro Golf Discount in Barrie).Quote:

So enjoy the Ottawa Golf Show and its opportunities. :-) I sure did when I was there.
