London Golf Show: 10 reasons to visit

After 11 years and 18 successful shows in London, Manchester and Birmingham, the Golf Show Group is back again with its flagship event

The London Golf Show is back for the 11th time in 2015 and bigger than ever before, with the aim of helping you get the most from your game.

This show – which takes place at Glow, Bluewater from November 13-15 – is designed to provide a truly interactive experience for golfers of all ages, with informed technical advice, PGA tuition and education, guest interviews, a huge indoor driving range, custom fitting, club testing, golf simulators and the latest golf gadgets.

This year, the show will comprise a series of zones – from coaching and equipment to kid's and women's – which all come together to enhance the spectator experience and reinforce the show's reputation as the UK's biggest golfing extravaganza.
