Tinley Park Golf Expo Offers Fun and Savings in Advance of Golf Season

The sixth annual Tinley Park Golf Expo tees off February 10 - 12 at the Tinley Park Convention Center, offering area golfers a glimpse of the 2017 golf season, even in the midst of winter. The golf expo, which is sponsored by the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, 97.1 The Drive, and Beggars Pizza, will feature over 100 exhibitors, promoting everything from courses and resorts to the latest golf equipment for 2017.

“At this point in the winter, there is an anticipation in the air amongst Chicagoland golfers. They desperately want the winter to end so they can get outside and hit the greens. The Tinley Park Golf Expo offers them a brief break from the dreary winter. It’s also an opportunity to get a head-start on the golf season by upgrading their equipment at great prices and tuning up their golf swings,” say Tenco Events co-owners Joe Copeland and Gregg Tengerstrom, who also recently debuted the new Northern Illinois Golf Expo in northwest suburban Grayslake in mid-January.

Exhibitors at the Tinley Park Golf Expo will offer special, expo-only discounts on equipment, apparel, and golf at local and regional courses and resorts. In addition, PGA professionals from Mistwood Golf Club will offer free one-on-one golf instruction for attendees of all ages. Children can participate in the skills challenge area presented by the nonprofit First Tee of Greater Chicago.

Attendees will have dozens of opportunities to participate in giveaways and contests. Just for walking in the door, each attendee receives a $25 golf voucher for use on TeeOff.com by PGA Tour. Each day, there will be a giveaway of 200 free tickets to the 2017 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, which is being hosted nearby at Olympia Fields Country Club from June 27 - July 2. The grand prize giveaway for the Tinley Park Golf Expo will be a ProX Plus indoor golf simulator from P3 ProSwing. In addition, the expo and exhibitors will have giveaways for free rounds of golf, equipment and more.

For golfers looking to put their talents on display and obtain bragging rights among friends and family, there will be daily Closest to the Pin, Longest Drive and Long Putt contests to win golf equipment.
