Jon and I probably could have been working a little harder to spread the DRH name, but what’re you gonna do? A gear nerd is going to do what a gear nerd does. So at this point, we’ve pretty much walked around the whole thing and seen every pair of khaki and grey pants there were to see. And like any good flea market, you just have to be diligent and seek out the hidden gems. That said, it was fun to catch up with some friends like Sub 70 Golf and the Tour Edge guys. As expected, it was bizarre as ever, totally washed out by Adidas and Under Armour clothes, and generally just a lot of stuff to sort through. It so happened my schedule was able to accommodate it so I went. I hadn’t been to the show in about 7 years, however, both Kris McEwen (from That Range Life – A Show Sometimes About Golf) and our own Jon Heise expressed interest and said I should go. Flea Market – there’s no better way to describe it – golf gear resellers slinging the last seven years of closeout Adidas and Under Armour clothes, clubs, and any other golf trinket you can dream of.Products & Demos – see the latest innovative training aid and try out some of the hot new clubs on the market.Tourism & Travel Agencies – gotta book your big golf trips somehow.Imagine a giant complex divided into essentially three categories: This show is called the “Chicago Golf Expo,” and woo boy, is it something. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL – a town wedged in between O’Hare and the actual city of Chicago.
Let me tell you a small story about how I recently found my new favorite clubs – a set of 1973 Ben Hogan Apex irons…Įvery year there’s a giant golf show at the Donald E.
