The Michigan Golf Show returns to the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi and 94.7 WCSX was on site to take part in every putt, chip, and drive within the 200,000 square feet of space.
Austin ZidarIt wasn't that long ago that world-renowned Ground Hog Punxsutawney Phil didn't see his shadow and proclaimed to all that early spring would dawn. With that in mind, we can count on two things here in Michigan: warmer temperatures and golfers ready to hit the links for another season of tee times on one of the more than 800 courses that stretch across the mitten state.
The Michigan Golf Show boasts itself as the largest consumer golf show in the country. Over 200,000 square feet of space fills the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan, where over 50,000 people attend the three-day event.
The WCSX promo team and Big Jim's Morning Show co-host Ryan Logan witnessed firsthand that the golf show takes more than a day to take in. The golf show has something for everyone to enjoy. It doesn't matter if you've been playing in a league for decades or, perhaps you're looking to get into the heralded sport and hobby for the first time this year.
A special thanks to the staff at the Suburban Collection Showplace, the Michigan Golf Show, Craig Bender, and the Garland Lodge & Golf Resort, who all allowed WCSX to participate in the activities.

From golf clubs to grips; to ball markers and golf bags, there is sure to be something for that special golfer in your life. Just hope that they take card and cash.
