For those of you within commuting distance of Omaha, NE and are having cabin fever with all the snow, I found this recently.

First Annual Nebraska Golf Expo
Feb 6 and 7 at Qwest Center Omaha

The exhibitors seem a little slim at the moment. Hopefully it'll get better. They do have some interesting features though with the putting contest, long drive contest, simulators, and some others.
 
Thanks for the info- we had one of these last spring in Sx Falls for the first time, it was cool. I may have to consider venturing down.
 
The consumer shows can be fun. Plus you can sometimes get some stuff at a steal of a price. Unfortunately many are filled with travel things, but once in a while, one can find some great stuff.
 
The Kansas City Golf Show is Feb. 19-21. We may go this year.

If a few THP'ers end up going, we could have a mini THP get together.
 
Thanks cwill. I hope to make it, but business will dictate.

I went last year, like JB said most of the exhibitors were travel agents and financial advisors. All of the major OEMs had displays and you could hit into a net so that was okay, that was the first time I had seen the R9 and Str8 drivers. They also gave us a free subscription to Golf Week and some discount coupons for a couple of the golf stores so it was worth it.
 
Liz just reminded me that I have about $200 in BassPro bucks to spend for the upcoming fish/hunt season, I can kill two birds, hehe.

Overland Park Convention Center.

MO went last year, I need to ask him again if it was worth it. I think he ended up with a couple of free subscriptions to some golf magazines, but that's all I remember!

There you go Duey. Go to the expo, then head over to the Bluffs for Bass Pro and some gambling at the casinos, hehe :smile:
 
Oooh, I'm no gambler, but love to watch Liz lose her arse, lol. I don't even play the lotto. I won a thousand in Vegas this year and lost that plus in about 2 hours, hehe.

Better to just stay away!
 
NOW I have a reason to go to Nebraska :good:

I'm right with you on that. The only time I go into the casinos is when my brother is out visiting. He routinely makes the trek from Maryland up to Atlantic City, NJ. I'd much rather spend my money in Golf Galaxy or somewhere similar.
 
Denver has a golf expo and a few buddies and I go every year. there are plenty of travel agents and such but plenty of good deals to be had and clubs to hit.
 
Now were talkin. I could spent a week in BassPro or a Golf Superstore.
 
When is it Wulff?

I'll come and visit you too :D
 
The expo here in Denver is Feb 12 thru 14. My biddies and i have made it kinda an annual thing for the last four years now. It gives us a chance to get back into golf with the snow on the ground and the cold temperatures.
 
I've been looking for a reason to drive over to Denver, but don't think that time frame will work. Have fun!

any time you feel like driving out here just let me know and we will plan a round of two of golf.
 
Sounds like fun and same goes down this direction. The green's should be looking pretty good this year after all this snow, lol.
 
Bump to remind those within the greater Omaha area.

Nebraska Golf Expo this weekend at Qwest Center Omaha.

I'm planning on heading over there Saturday. Anyone else going?
 
Are they planning on having much? I have a 9 ball tournament I could play, but that sounds like fun too.
