Behind the scenes videos from the 2012 PGA Merchandise Show

[MikeH]

Morning all

those who follow GM on twitter will know Paul O'Hagan and I have been out at the 2012 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida.

Paul and I were making of our show debuts and its fair to say we were blown away by it. For gear lovers it really is an incredible experience with stacks of new product and a big sprinkling of American razmatazz!

We'll be putting up loads of videos of product reviews and 2012 range run downs over the next few weeks but for now, here's a taster of what it's all about...

I like this a lot, the USA really know how to put on a show. Puts the UK exhibitions and in particular the Scottish Golf show to shame.
Maybe one day I'll get there

Thanks for sharing and look forward to all the other videos

"Like a kid in a sweet shop" is a phrase that comes to mind. :whoo::clap:

Flipping heck - how hard did Mike go at the ball with that drive?

this is trade only so the equivalennt is the Harrogate Show which was back in November last year although that was indoor only no demo day. To give you an idea of size the whole of Harrogate would have fitted into the TaylorMade area in the show. Massive doensat begin to explain the vast scale
In terms of a public event then have to say GolfLIVE is the closest thing in the UK
