The 2019 PGA Merchandise Show was another huge success for the program. 24 students traveled along with Dann and Brad and experienced all that the show has to offer.
Students attend the show for a variety of reasons. Reasons range from wanting to see and be a part of the newest product releases in the industry to interviewing for internships and permanent positions at top facilities around the world.
Students were also invited to attend the annual lunches with the PGA Board of Directors and the Past Presidents of the Association. Extremely valuable connections are made during these lunches as well as during the rest of the week.
The event kicks off with the Demo Day at the Orange County National Driving Range. Students were trying out equipment from every major manufacturer and even competing in some fun competitions. Several students qualified for a hole-in-one challenge to win a Tesla Model X!
Following Demo Day is 3 full days on the show floor packed with over 10,000 industry professionals and every golf related vendor imaginable.
With such a large group in attendance, there is no doubt that students all see the tremendous opportunity that the show offers.
