Champions Tour stars Ron Streck and David Edwards, along with Oklahoma teaching legend Marshall Smith, will be among the other celebrities giving free seminars.

Hours for the show will be 11 a.m. to 6 on Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $8, or $5 with a discount coupon available in the Tulsa World the week of the show. In addition, children 14 and under are free. Upon entry, golfers are awarded a full year’s subscription to Golf Digest or Golf For Women.
Attendees will once again be able to find bargains on golf equipment and apparel as well as information on many different travel destinations and courses from within the region.
Competitors will enjoy the challenges of the putting, long drive and closest to the pin contests, all for prizes. Major club manufacturers will be represented at the show in the Cherokee Casino Demo Area, where golfers can test new clubs before they are available nationwide.
A new feature is the PGA instruction area where PGA professionals will give free 10-minute lessons to golfers throughout the expo.
