Turns Out That a 42 Acre Circular Practice Range is Pretty Impressive

I am reporting from the annual PGA Show in Orlando and have to say that the largest demo day in the US, if not the world, was pretty darn impressive. Not necessarily the products, because we all knew (for the most part) what equipment would be on display, but the facility itself is pretty incredible. What does a 42 acre circular range with three practice greens look like? Check it out.

As you would expect, there was some over the top ridiculousness at the demo day. The photo below shows the inflatable Cobra Golf / Puma show room, which contained a live DJ spinning some tunes that sounded fresh from a club on the show Jersey Shore! Nothing live a mini-rave at the PGA Show. Would it surprise you that the area was crawling with collar-popped Ian Poulter wannabe’s?

My favorite part of the demo day was the number of small putter companies that were there with some simply beautiful putters. I will snap a lot of pictures tomorrow.

There was plenty of cool golf gear but surprisingly two non-sexy products stick in my mind. The first was a simple putting aid called the Circle of Trust, which would be a wise investment for most golfers. The second was a super-oversized grip called the JumboMax. Both of these products would have been easy to ignore, but I was glad that I didn’t.
