I will be in the Orlando area (Davenport) in January and February. Is there any chance to attend the Orlando Merchandise Show? I understand it is not open to the public but would really like to attend if possible. Thank you for your concern.
Sincerely an amature golfer who is trying to improve,

Hi Doyle,
The easiest way I can think of is to hop in a store (not a chain), preferably where you bought your clubs or bag and ask them if they can’t get a hold of tickets.
Some years back I got in through a guy who I purchased a set of Pings from… over the internet.
Give it a shot and let me know how it went? The show is huge, worth a try for sure.
Good luck! If you are thinking of playing a few rounds here in Orlando, I can always give you some suggestions on that as well.
