GOLFEST SET TO RETURN TO THE DOWNS GOLF PRACTICE FACILITY

Golfers looking to get a head start on the 2013 season should plan to attend Golfest  the weekend of Feb. 9-10 at The Downs Golf Practice Facility directly south of Tampa Bay Downs.

Appearances by LPGA star Brittany Linicome and Win McMurry from the Golf Channel; a $1-million Hole-In-One Shootoutto by the Thoroughbred Retirment of Tampa, Inc. (TROT); and a chance to win two tickets to the first major of 2013 in Georgia are among the highlights for Golfest presented by Tampa Bay Championship.

This is the third consecutive year the Golfest exhibition comes to Tampa Bay Downs.

Billed as “the country’s largest outdoor golf lifestyle event,” Golfest gives members of the public the opportunity to purchase the latest equipment, with more than a dozen club and shaft companies represented.

There will be clinics, entertainment and contests, and attendees can enter the Paradise Golf & Future Champions Golf Tour putting contest with a chance to win cash every hour. Custom club-fitting is available and there will be exhibition booths devoted to travel, real estate, wellness, the golf lifestyle and teaching aids.

Area professionals will provide free 10-minute lessons. With a “Junior Golf Experience” area for kids with golf inflatables and mini-golf, and food and drink provided, Golfest is sure to provide fun for the entire family.


Show hours will be on Saturday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m., and Sunday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m.  Tickets are $10 and children 14-and-under are admitted free. More details are forthcoming soon.
