One of my previous experiences at Orange County National was spent next to Tiger Woods…could Demo Day & its massive size be quite as intimidating?

ORLANDO, Fla. – If the PGA Show’s oversized Orange County Convention Center had an equal in terms of golf practice facilities, then the one at Orange County National – site of today’s PGA Merchandise Show Demo Day – definitely has a seat at the same table.

Just like the gigantic halls of the OCCC, OCN’s full-circle range housing nearly 10,000 PGA pros hitting 1 million golf balls today alone(!), is BIG to say the least.

Intimidating? Perhaps. But, like the Show itself, I’ve seen the madness of Demo Day and OCN before, so off we go.

In fact, many years ago, I was here in a different capacity …

A 1999 Nike TV spot with Tiger Woods – I’m the one in the striped shirt behind him. 

But, I digress.

Keep an eye out as we post photos and videos throughout the day of some of the more interesting items at Demo Day, in-hand reviews of the newest gear, and *something* exciting (and potentially disastrous) for yours truly at the Callaway Golf range.
