If you're a golfer looking to buy some new equipment, the Columbus Golf Show is a great place to go. They have many vendors with deep discounts on clubs, bags, shoes, apparel and accessories. (Tip: Vendors will often take less than their sticker price because they want to get rid of merchandise; just make an offer!) There are also different courses and resorts with booths set up, many giving away great golf packages. Some of the booths seemed kind of shady though, so be careful what you sign up for so that you don't get a bunch of spam. Various teaching pros give demonstrations throughout the day as well.
Entry is $9, but you can usually get a $1 off coupon on the website. Admission also includes a free year subscription to GOLF Magazine, so you pretty much recoup your costs right off the bat. read more
