Arizona is a golfer’s paradise – sunny skies, plenty of top tier courses to choose from and, for the past three years, home to Golf Fest Phoenix. With annual shows in San Diego, Las Vegas and most recently Phoenix, Golf Fest provides golfers the opportunity to meet all the major golf club companies direct as they see and experience everything new in golf.

Golf Fest Phoenix will feature nonstop events and attractions sure to please golfers of all skill levels and ages. There will be free lessons and seminars by PGA and LPGA pros, trick shot exhibitions by the “King of Clubs” Peter Longo, a custom golf cart display, a beer tasting event, fashion show, free driving range use to test the latest club technologies, kids zone, skills contests for great prizes, wellness zone, a fitting van, and the Shankmeister trade-in zone where golfers can exchange old clubs for cash.

The event swings into Longbow Golf Club on Friday, February 10th and Saturday, February 11th 2012, from 9am – 5pm each day. The show features incredible deals from top golf companies including TaylorMade, Cleveland, PING, Titleist, Callaway and Adams, plus great values on clothing, golf resorts, golf tee times, and emerging golf company products and services.

The $10 admission (children under 10 enter Free) more than comes back in the form of freebies at the event. With paid admission, attendees will receive a round of golf at Longbow Golf Club and a 6-month subscription to Golf Week magazine. 

“It is one of the few times golfers can test the newest products, get great prices, and meet reps direct so they know they are getting the right products to fit their game,” according to Mike Nesbit, Golf Fest Director. “At the show, golfers get a chance to not only meet the major companies but also discover new favorites. And with a free round of golf and magazine subscription the value is unsurpassed.”

PGA Professional and world-renowned golf trick shot artist, Peter Longo, will be performing his amazing golf trick shot show at 1:00 pm both days. Longo, who hails from Chicago, is always a huge hit at the shows. He entertains the crowd with his almost unimaginable golf tricks and skills and even carries a fitting moniker – the “King of Clubs”. 

Many golfers may not know the ball you play with has a major impact on your game. At the event, Titleist will have a fitting van available to attendees where they can be tested to find the ideal ball to optimize his or her game. You will never want to play another game with just any old ball. 

In addition to having reps from the top names in golf, there will be a variety of presentations and driving range exhibitions with lessons geared for juniors, female and male golfers of all ages and levels. It is the perfect opportunity for golfers to listen and watch professionals to learn valuable skills as well as to introduce juniors or spouses to golf and all the excitement that goes along with the game.

What started as a small consumer golf show in San Diego has since grown into one of the longest running golf shows showcasing everything new in golf with multiple locations across the Southwest. Golf Fest will be holding its 15th Annual San Diego show, March 23rd and 24th at Riverwalk Golf Club and its 8th Annual Las Vegas show, March 2nd and 3rd at Angel Park Golf Club.

Each year, Golf Fest continues to grow into one of the largest consumer golf shows in the nation. In creating this event, there were three very specific goals: First and foremost, to produce a show that every golfer, regardless of expertise, could enjoy; second, to provide golfers with the opportunity to see and experience the newest products in golf – all in the same place, at the same time; and finally, to make it a fun event for the entire family, including the kids.
