2014 Japan Golf Fair Report (Part 1)



The 2014 Japan Golf Fair is being held from February 14-16 at the Tokyo Big Sight convention center. There's a lot to like about the Japan Golf Fair for the average golfer--the latest equipment from the major golf manufacturers, hitting cages to try out the equipment, a golf fashion show, one point lessons from PGA pros, celebrity golf speakers, and lots of free golf tees.

About 55,000 visitors usually attend the three day event, with about a third related to golf business and the media and the rest is the general public.  Yes, unlike the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando every January, anyone can attend.  All the major golf companies are represented here as well as many smaller Japanese companies.  
   
Here's a quick photo report from the first day, Friday, February 14. More photos can be found in part 2.

Much better to be here at the Tokyo Big Sight convention center than at the course today.
Easy registration--nothing to write down--just get a visitor's card.


Everything is in one large area.
There's a lot to see.
