Even though attendance might be slightly lower at this week's PGA Merchandise Show, most of the big name golf manufacturers will be present. As Jon Show reports:
Attendance at the event, which runs Wednesday through Sunday, is expected to be down about 5 percent from the 44,500 that attended last year. The number of exhibitors this year is approximately 1,000, down about 200 from last year, primarily the result of consolidation in the industry and fewer registrations from smaller companies, said show organizers...
One of the marquee topics being addressed is an obvious one: educating companies and professionals about how to combat the adverse effects of the economy.
