Teeing Off

Golf in the Lower Hudson Valley, from high schools to the pros

No lines to wait in

March
14

Want a swing lesson that’ll only set you back 20 or 30 minutes?

There wasn’t a lot of traffic at the Lower Hudson Golf Show this morning, so nobody had to wait long to handle the new clubs or get free instruction from the area pros. Blame the economy. There probably won’t be as many people on the course this season, either.

Most of the visitors were signing up to win giveaways left and right. The odds have to be good unless there’s a flood of people tomorrow. Most of the club manufacturers on the Weschester County Center stage were busy, spending at least five minutes with everyone that stopped by to check out the new technology.

The pro shop was also moving a lot of shoes and drivers.

So did anybody visit the show? Leave us an impression, tell us what you found useful or what you would like to see improved.
