British Golf Show - is it worth going to?

[Kennysarmy]

Keep getting e-mails about this, £15 advance tickets.
Never been before, wonder if it was a decent day out or not?

I went to one years ago... I wouldn't again. These kind of things before the internet were probably brilliant. Now, it only takes a few minutes to check out all the different stuff available to us.

I went when it was local and it was nice to have a go on the new stuff - you'll pick up tees and various free stuff as well.

8 of us usually go to the golf show in Glasgow or Edinburgh just for the 3 discount golf vouchers , some decent courses to be played for a fiver .

Bill..Some of us went a couple of times 5/6 yrs ago.
Wound up spending more on parking at SECC/couple of drinks,crisps,nuts,Sunday papers than the value of the vouchers,but overall was o.k.but once/twice seen that was enough for us.A bit of 'seen it,done it' and don't need to do again.

We make a day of it, usually the Sunday [the last day ] sometimes they sell off stuff cheaper rather than pack it up and take it back.
We'll get train or maybe a lift in 12ish , get our vouchers , spend a hour or so looking around, maybe try a few things.
Go for a bite to eat in town, a wee pub crawl then catch up with 2 of my old band mates that play in a couple of well known establishments [ dives .
Then bus passes, taxi or mibbie ambulance back

Think some are mixing up the British and Scottish show.

British one is Marlow way, near High Wycombe - don't bother its more tosh than tash

Ah ! so we're not British anymore YET lol

 

[chrisd]

I've been to one or two and generally it's been a waste of time

Went to the scottish show a couple of years ago missed last year's and think I'll go this year to get some freebie rounds, I quite enjoyed it as it was the first time I'd been to anything like that, it was mobbed tho, hit the bullseye on the golf darts and won a pack of balls
