The 1969 edition of the Professional Golfers' Association Merchan- dise Show may not be bigger than 1968, but it will be better, from the industry's point of view. For the first time ever, the show will be closed to the public! This will undoubtedly cut down traffic jams despite the fact that it will be held in the 45,000 square foot "big tent" again (150 feet by 300 feet). Also, although the number of booths will remain just about the same, 228 in '68, 226 this year, the number of companies and exhibitors are expected to increase. The Palm Beach Gardens show had 150 companies representing 875 exhibitors last year and at press time approximately 120 companies were already in the fold. Since this is a buying and ordering show only, the absence of the public and the expected increase of manufacturers displaying product lines (along with the current leisure time industry boom), should combine to make this one of the biggest dollar volume business meetings in recent times. A major part of last year's success reportedly was due to the stampede of alumi- num shaft orders. A PGA spokesman said a report also showed that some apparel sales were up 200 to 400 per cent and that a manufacturer revealed a 30 per cent increase. The PGA is hoping that the closing of the show to the public will also enable it to take a count of the number of new products being shown—something that has never been tabulated. GOLFDOM, on the other hand, has been able to obtain an advance list of many of the expected show products and they follow. equipment Simmon heads with black Propellac face insert and brass sweet spot.
