A Message From The Chapter Director Of Marketing

Print E-mail

Hello again golfers. I would like to focus on Florida’s Largest Golf Show that the West Central Chapter, North Florida PGA is proudly co-hosting with none other than the Turner/Williams Media Group, specifically, Jim Turner, one of the Chapter’s valued sponsors. These folks really know how to organize a show which will be held March 20-22 at the Tampa Convention Center.

All indications are that this will be a tremendous opportunity for you, the consumer, to test all the latest golf equipment as well as visit the many vendors that are all related in some way to the game of golf. We will be giving away prizes hourly, including vacation packages and golf packages at some of the best courses in the Tampa Bay area. Our PGA professionals, including Teacher of the Year for the West Central Chapter Matt Mitchell, will be on hand to give you tips to help your game.

All during the Golf Show, one of our newest sponsors with the Chapter, Jeremy Miller and Vince Noble, co-hosts for the Sports Explosion on CBS 1010 am radio will be on hand. Their booth will be located right by the indoor range where you can win valuable prizes.

I am very pleased to announce that the Turner/Williams Media Group has selected the Shriners Hospitals For Children as one of the beneficiaries of the show. The Shriners Hospital will also have a booth for you to see first hand, their many programs and the assistance they lend to children in need. Mark your calendars for March 20-22, 2009 at the Tampa Convention Center.

Once again, I would like to extend thanks to the Chapter’s valued sponsors who make it possible for us to promote the game of golf to you.

Without their continued support, we would not be able to build on our junior golf programs, pro-am schedule and chapter meetings. I am also pleased to announce the addition of two new sponsors, Yamaha Golf Cars and Cleveland Golf. On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you all for supporting the West Central Chapter, NFPGA.

I would like to wish each of our sponsors, their families, and you… our golfers, a happy and prosperous New Year. Until next time, enjoy this wonderful game of golf and hit the ball long. - Bill Gilkes
