Nation’s Largest Outdoor Golf Festival Brings Excitement and Fun to Central Florida
Orlando, Fla., (Dec. 18, 2008) – Golfweek, the most authoritative, authentic and independent name in golf, is bringing its popular Golfweek’s Golfest event series back to Orlando Jan. 24-25 at Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge. Presented by Winn Grips, Golfweek’s Golfest is the nation’s largest outdoor golf lifestyle extravaganza and demo day and will be making a second stop in Central Florida at The Villages March 6-7 on its annual national tour.
“We are thrilled to bring Golfweek’s Golfest to Orlando for its sixth year,” said Armand Cimaroli, director of events. “Golfest has always been a huge success here because it not only offers attendees the opportunity to test and purchase the latest golf equipment, but also provides ample activities to keep golfers of all ages entertained.”
Held only days before the annual PGA Merchandise Show, Golfweek’s Golfest Orlando allows attendees to try and buy golf’s latest and greatest equipment, apparel and accessories – even before the pros do – while also enjoying golf entertainment on the North Florida PGA Section Main Stage, a 19th Hole presented by Gentleman Jack and Golfnow.com, contests, food and fun for the entire family.
Additionally, Golfweek’s Golfest Orlando attendees receive:
A $10 Edwin Watts Golf gift card
One complimentary round of golf at Hunter’s Creek Golf Club (with paid cart fee; certain restrictions apply)
One free regripping by Winn Grips (one per attendee; no putters)
Free PGA golf lessons courtesy of the North Florida PGA and PGA Play Golf America
Unlimited practice balls to demo major equipment brands
Golfweek’s Golfest is open to the public and will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Admission is $10 for adults; children 16 and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at all Orlando Edwin Watts Golf locations or online at www.Golfest.com.
