If you’re a golf fanatic, many different states stand out as great places to live. Florida is famed for its golf courses, and year-round golfing is a plus. The Carolinas have some of the most famous courses in the country. But come summer, there may be no better places for golfers in the country than Michigan. Michigan has the fifth most golf courses of any state in the country, and its gorgeous Great Lakes setting makes it a picturesque and scenic place to hit the links.
Many flock to Michigan in the summer and spring seasons as a great vacation destination for stay and play, but if you’re a Michigan local and a golf fanatic, one upcoming event will get you as ready as possible for the upcoming golf season in the state. That is the 2022 Michigan Golf Show.
The 2022 Michigan Golf Show is one of the premier golf purchasing events in the country, featuring a massive variety of exhibitors, events, and hands-on activities, all centered around one of Michigan’s great pastimes: golf. The show will take place from March 4th-6th at the Suburban Collection Showcase in Novi, Michigan, and is the largest consumer golf show in the nation.
The 2022 Michigan Golf Show will have over 350 exhibitors offering bargain prices on golf items and experiences, with incredible deals to be found on every aspect of the experience. You’ll be able to find some of the best clubs, shoes, apparel, and equipment available, but also you can find great prices on golf resorts and travel destinations. If you budget well for this event, you can get some of the best deals on golf equipment and getaways that money can buy.
If you’re an experienced golfer, this event is also an opportunity to put your skills to work for you. There will be multiple contests with massive payouts for those talented enough to win them. The $25,000 chipping challenge will be a big one for those who are experienced with chippers and wedges. The $10,000 putting contest is an opportunity for those precision golfers out there to showcase their talent.
Tickets have yet to go on sale for the event, but they should be available online soon. This is a massive few days for golfers in the area, and the Michigan Golf Show will attract a major crowd. It is one of the biggest shows of its kind, with great shopping opportunities and thrilling contests. Golf season begins once the cold Michigan winter ends, and the 2022 Michigan Golf Show is the perfect way to ring in the season.
