Elmwood Hosting Demo Day

Elmwood Golf and Country Club (a sponsor who helps make this blog possible) is hosting a big Demo Day on Saturday. I caught up with GM Sheldon Reinhart to talk about that and a tournament they’re hosting this weekend that has a few spots open!

Here’s what Head Professional Jeff Chambers had to say about the Demo Day:

“Hello everyone,  Mother nature decided to cooperate and it looks like we’re finally going to have a great May long weekend.

This is a reminder of the big demo day tomorrow (Saturday) from 10am to 3pm.   The top four Golf companies (Titleist, Taylormade, Ping, and Callaway) are all here to let you try out the latest and greatest equipment!

Come get fit up for that set of clubs that you deserve.

To show appreciation for our Sales reps making the long journey to be here, we will have Specials all day Saturday in the Pro shop on clothing such as 40% off Callaway Ladies apparel, 30% off all Tommy Hilfiger clothing, 25% off Footjoy, Ping, and Adidas Clothing.  All Ping, Titleist, Callaway and Taylormade/Adidas Caps all 15 % off.

Also for Saturday only, save the taxes on all Footjoy and Adidas shoes.   We look forward to seeing you out at the course whether you’re playing, shopping, demoing, or just out having lunch.”
