From hitting all of the latest equipment to challenging Long Drive Champion Jamie Sadlowski to a competition, it was a great Demo Day at the PGA Merchandise Show.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Wow. What a day.

Enormous full-circle golf range, more new equipment than you could hit in 10 lifetimes, onsite club engineers, tour pros and golf personalities – yes, the PGA Merchandise Show’s Demo Day had it all today and the week’s just getting started. Check out a few of the top moments from our day out on the range below:

Did I say I’d have that supersized coffee at the end of the week? Let’s go ahead and push that up a few days to get the caffeine train flowing now.

Yes, it most certainly was a long day, but but an incredible one at that and I feel fortunate to have been part of it.

My highlight? Challenging two-time long drive champ Jamie Sadlowski to a competition and losing by less than two yards. Granted, he may have been hitting a 2-iron to my driver, but, whatever. Details.

So, now it’s a quick sleep and then off to the Big Show tomorrow morning. I’m ready. More fun to come…
