2018 PGA Merchandise Show and Demo Day PGAPappas GIVEAWAYS

Well I'm finally home from the spectacle that is Demo Day and the PGA Merchandise Show, and I've never been more excited about new equipment, apparel, and golf gear as I am this year. 

 

I'll start uploading daily pictures, videos, and recaps starting tomorrow, and will have my Best of Show final wrap up sharing with you what products stood out as best in their class and why. 

As always I picked up some swag for you while I was down there and currently have five separate giveaways you can enter to win in three different ways. 

First, you can enter by leaving a comment here on the blog. Second you can enter by retweeting and following all in my twitter giveaway tweet (I'll retweet those later tonight).  And finally, you can enter by liking the giveaway posts on Instagram and following all. 


 

 

All winners will be announced Sunday during the Super Bowl, and as always, the giveaways are open to all worldwide. 

Here's a quick rundown on the giveaways: 

Demo Day Giveaway: Two new Wilson Staff Tour Caps (one black and one white, 2 winners).  The C300 line is incredible, from the driver down to both sets of irons.  You can be sure I'll have a lot more on those in my recaps. 

 

PGA Show Day 1 Giveaway: A New Titleist Tour Cap (white), and new Tour Soft golf balls.  These new Tour Soft balls replace the NXT line and feature a new cover, Titleist's largest core ever, and promise to be the softest and longest ball in this category with exceptional short game performance.  I've already hit some and you can color me impressed. 

 
 
 

PGA Show Day 2 Giveaway: A new pair of 2018 Callaway Golf Coronado Golf Shoes (you pick the size and color).  Callaway donated $3,000 to Fairways for Warriors at the Show from proceeds from Coronado shoe sales, and I'm really excited to be a part of this. If you're looking for a superior performing golf shoe with fantastic comfort and support, look no further. 

 
 
 

PGA Show Day 3 Giveaway 1: New Travis Mathew Tour Cap (choose white or black).  I'm not even going to describe these for you.  Just let the pictures pull you in.  They're straight fire. 

 
 
 

PGA Show Day 3 Giveaway 2: New Piretti Fine Putters Tour Only Putter Headcover.  Piretti Tour Only headcovers with the angry face are always the coolest headcovers around.  If you're a putter headcover collector or own a Piretti putter, this unique headcover is even more delicious in person than in these pictures. 

 
 
 

I can't wait to share everything with you from my week down in Orlando.  I have some 2,000 pictures, videos, and interviews to post, and you're not going to want to miss my takes on all the new gear.  I hit as many clubs as possible, took notes for all, and stopped counting after 1,000 swings on Demo Day.  It's an understatement to say I did my due diligence. 

And just for the hell of it, I chartered a helicopter to say goodbye to the PGA Show and buzzed the Orange County Convention Center Friday afternoon to wrap things up.



It was a great time from start to finish and your tremendous feedback in direct messages and emails letting me know how much you enjoyed it all was appreciated! 

Expect massive reviews from me this year as well as I think 2018 is the most dynamic new equipment season we've seen in at least five years.  It might even be the beginning of a new Golden Age in golf equipment and technology.
