I was invited by my friend Serge to visit him in Ottawa to attend the Ottawa/Gatineau Golf Expo last Friday. Missing the golf show in Toronto, I decided this was a great opportunity to visit my friend and to attend one of my favourite events. I packed up the car on Thursday, drove 3.5 hours to Serge’s place, stayed the night and headed to the expo for noon on Friday. Overall, the expo was a good experience and I met many like minded individuals in the golf industry; however it did fall short a bit with respect to the vendors. Let me explain.

Toronto Golf Show Part 1
What a day! For 4 hours, I was immersed in nothing but golf at the Toronto Golf Show. It was a great day and the 8 hours of driving was definitely worth it.
If you were following my adventure, we started out at 7 am in the rain and it followed us for the first 2.5 hours of the first leg of our trip from North Bay to Toronto. Blair did all the driving, thanks Blair, and I was the navigator. I think I did a fantastic job, however Blair might have a different view. We missed a couple of coffee stops early in our journeys, but after a couple of sips of the black gold, we were good to go! Continue reading
Heading to the Toronto Golf Show
The Toronto Golf & Travel Show does not generally disappoint. It is a mecca of golf for three days at the International Centre by Pearson International Airport! With 100s of booths, there is something for everyone. This will be my fourth year in a row heading to this great event and I am stoked to start my trip.
This year my buddy Blair is making the 3.5 hour drive, one way, with me to take in his first golf show. We are leaving at 0 dark 30 to get there before the gates open at noon.

Toronto Golf and Travel Show 2016
Last Friday, I made my annual trek to the Toronto Golf and Travel Show. This year’s trip was extra special because my darling wife accompanied me as I wove my way through the club demos, travel booths and discount shops.
As per previous years, the Toronto Golf show was full of areas to try new equipment, long drive contest, putting contests, swing analyzer, receive lessons, discount shops, and plenty of travel destinations. We enjoyed talking to people from Golf PEI, Golf Association Ontario and Golf Canada. We were there early before the crowds and lasted about 2.5 hours. Continue reading
