Some of the big guns in attendence this year will be Hank Haney, David Leadbetter, Annika Sorenstam and Peter Jacobsen. Additionally, top teachers, touring professionals, trick-shot artists, award-winning PGA Professionals, product designers, long-drive champions, inventors, actors and authors will appear at vendor booths and special events throughout the three-day business event which goes from Thursday, January 28 to Saturday January 30.
