The Golf Show 2007 NEC Birmingham takes place this week from Friday 16th November until Sunday 18th November.

It will be interesting to see how this event is run and received by golfers from all around the Midlands, with this being the first Golf Show NEC Birmingham organised by the company who have run the successful London golf show for the past 5 years.

Did you attend the previous golf show at the NEC last year, what were your thoughts? Will you be attending this year? **

American golf is this years official retail partner, having attended the London show for the first time, so should see a wide range of golf equipment and products on offer for golfers wanting the latest equipment or a golfing bargain.

It's also good to see that the range of manufactures has grown this year for retail and also the likes of Cleveland and PING attending and allowing visitors to test the latest equipment on the range along with professional custom-fit experience.

The design also seems good this year based around a specially constructed indoor driving range and the American golf retail shop bringing a mix of all things golf; travel, gadgets, fashion, tuition, visitor interaction and the usual celebrity appearances and competitions.

Visitors to the show will have the chance to go head-to-head with celebrities; the opportunity to sink a 100ft putt; test out the latest golf equipment,; rip it up on the range; enter competitions for nearest the pin and longest drives; see the latest golfing gadgets; and more. It's also great to see an area dedicated to junior golf with free coaching, fun and games and prizes.

Hopefully see some of you there and check back later this week for news direct from the Golf Show.

** Update : This is the second year for a golf show at the NEC. For clarification last year's event was run by the UK Golf Show which decided to fold the event earlier this year. This year's event is run by the Golf Show Co. who organise the London Golf Show and are in no way connected to the UK Golf Show.
