February is the official month of the Kansas City Golf Show and , of course , Valentine ’ s Day . Two sweet events in one month — it doesn ’ t get much better . For the golfers who have been in hibernation for the better part of this winter , it ’ s time to emerge from the cave and head to the golf show for plenty of sweet golf deals and fun stuff to do .

This is time for golfers to get a jump-start on the 2024 season with big savings on the must-have hottest new clubs , shoes , bags , and accessories from the top equipment manufacturers . The KC Golf Show is the next stop for club manufacturers after the January PGA Merchandise Show , where all the newest technology is introduced to the world . KC area golfers are among the first in the country to get their hands on the hottest newly-released clubs and test drive them at the huge indoor driving range . Sweet !

The Kansas City Golf Show will once again give attending golfers plenty of freebies . Among many other giveaways as you enter the show floor , if you buy your ticket online at www . KansasCityGolf- Show . com , you ’ ll receive a round of golf to Old Kinderhook , one of the best courses at the Lake of the Ozarks , which is upwards of a $ 95 value for Free — what a deal ( some restrictions apply )! Get your foursome to buy online and make a Lake golf getaway trip this spring . Attendees also receive a round of golf at Mules National ( see page 20 ) while supplies last ( restrictions apply ). Tickets are just $ 17 for adults , $ 15 for seniors ( 60 +), and all kids under 12 are admitted free ! Tell your golf friends , family , and neighbors about the show and all the great deals .

One of the largest golf shows in the Midwest , the KC show will again offer nearly 90 exhibitors . For those considering golf getaways this year , there will be golf destination exhibitors from resorts at the Lake of the Ozarks , Alabama , Kansas , Kentucky , Missouri , Mississippi , New Mexico , Oklahoma , and many others .

Another favorite day at the show is Kids and Family Day . On Saturday , kids enjoy games and prizes throughout the hall , junior golf seminars on the main stage , and a junior putting championship . It ’ s a day your aspiring junior golfers can ’ t miss .

See more about the Kansas City Golf Show on page eight , and the exhibitors ’ list on page 32 . Plan now to attend the big KC golf show .

Because of our publication ’ s press schedule , we ’ ll be working to meet the press deadline for our next issue , so we are not sure we ’ ll have a booth this year . Victoria and I thank you for your 24 years of dedication to reading our magazine . We will certainly miss seeing everyone who visits us at the booth . However , the magazine will be in your goodie bag , so if you already have your copy , be sure to share the goodie bag copy with a friend .

This issue is dedicated to my life-long good friend Steve Sutherlin , who passed on December 28 . Steve loved golf and was the president of the Classic Senior League from 2022-2023 . He will be missed .
