Ottawa Golf Show

[dbleber]

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?

Yes, there are always demo clubs and OEM reps there. Good chance to try out some new stuff.

Neither CB's, Pro Golf or Golf Town attended in the last couple of years, but T&L was there. Not all retailers do shows.

Do we get anyting!?

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).

Ottawa has much more to offer in terms of variety of golf courses. We, in Barrie, have much less courses within our local area. Our population is almost 10 times smaller which makes it hard to attract courses and resorts from outside the geographical area. And we're surrounded by the Muskokas (a couple hours north) which offer real high-end courses and Toronto with its own clientele and golf show.

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