ONE OF Europe’s leading buying groups for golf professionals, TGI Golf, has teamed up with the PGA to create what it hopes will become Europe’s largest golf trade show and education event.
Already in its sixth year, the TGI Show at Harrogate International Centre in 2010 (October 26-28) will be open to the PGA’s 6,000 European membership, where manufacturers will display new products to retailers and industry experts and high profile guest speakers will deliver educational seminars as part of the PGA's Lifelong Learning Programme. It will not be open to the public.
Eddie Reid, TGI Golf's managing director, said: “We see this show as a huge opportunity for both suppliers and PGA members, with the potential to develop this event as a trade exhibition and education event.”
Commenting on the partnership, PGA chief executive, Sandy Jones, said: “The PGA is always looking for new initiatives to bring benefits to its membership. We believe that, by working together, we will be able to evolve and develop what is already a first class show to an even higher level of excellence.”

Lee Mack. I don't know if he plays golf and wouldn't care. He is the funnest man on the TV at the moment and seeing as I've missed out on tickets for his current tour I'd be able to listened to his quips in person. He makes me cry laughing. It's not about winning, it's about enjoying the day.

Vincent Furnier.................... (aka Alice Cooper.......) Grew up to his music, and would be entertaining fun to spend some time in his company - tales of the rock and role lifestyle, but also to chat about how golf helped him overcome his addiction to alcohol. (No beer in the 19th though! ) Also love the polar extremities of hard rock / heavy metal wild musician and singer / hellraiser, contrasted to the genteel refined manner that is expected on a golf course. oh yeah, he also plays off about 5 or 6 i believe, so may be in with a chance of some silverware!

Kim Jong Il - Just put us down for a net 28!!

Samuel L Jackson - Saw the guy in a celebrity pro-am match before and the 4 ball with him seemed to be having such a laugh, and he seems a half decent golfer.... My only concern would be if he was to 'strike down upon thee with great vengence and furious anger' for missing short puts under pressure...

damn Robo, i was going to say him as soon as i saw it! But you can't have him either as he gave up golf claiming it was too easy.

Phil Ivey - the Tiger Woods of Poker. Arguably the best player ever (now who have we heard that said about) Not someone to have a bet with as the a couple of years ago he hustled two friends out of nearly a million dollars when he secretly had lessons from some top pro's before fleecing his mates. I would be interested in the parallels of the two games when it comes to those 'pressure cooker' moments you have to make that could cost you a tournament.

I think for me it would have to be the Costa Rican guy who played at the Dunhill with a massive smile, a big game but only one leg. Since seeing him, the toys have left the pram much less often. (I also want to ask him how much weight he lost when he lost his leg. I know that sounds inappropriate and tasteless but ever since I watched him I have wondered how much a leg actually weighs).

Steve Davis I think it wouold be easy to switch off and really concentrate on playing my very best!!!

Great stuff so far everyone - keep it coming. My choice would be Michael McIntyre -even if he doesn't even play golf. I'm sure he could keep me entertained with further revelations of his 'man drawer....' I have one too, you see, where I keep old half completed scorecards, broken golf tees, foreign currency/ball markers, lighters that no longer work, golf course pencils that need sharpening. worn-out and shrivelled golf gloves, snapped golf shoe laces- and yes, green fee labels complete with original string!

Off topic - sorry just a drawer - i have a man cupboard! countless now redundant chargers..... those things that are left over when assembling flatpack furniture, that you may need later. old keys francs, marks, lira, an empty wallet, scribbled down phone numbers with no names......

My Pro-Am Partner would be Alan Brazil! Top Footballer, Broadcaster and all round piss head! I would love to hear some of his war stories when footballers weren't fecking primadonna fall over fairys!

Has to be Kylie. Went to her concert a couple of years ago at the MEN as "my daughter wanted to go", and I can honestly say best concert I'd ever been to (nope, not a gayer). Anyway, as perfect as she was, she's now taken up golf, my ideal woman just got more ideal.

Never mind playing golf with him, just a hand shake, a hello and a smile would do it for me.....The Greatest.... I would seriously consider selling one of my children to get him into a golf cart.....

Sadly I think his hands shake by themselves nowadays!

I'd love to play with Adam Sandler so that I could play the funniest round of golf ever, a la Happy Gilmore.   Cue 400yrd drives and a Crazy golf style putting routine!

Dustin Hoffman as Rainman because in his own words "I am an excellent driver" I thank you

Kendra Wilkinson Call me shallow.

Jerry Sadowitz. How dapper would he look with his top hat on? don't think the old guard would be too pleased with his language though. But he is very funny, plus you get some amazing magic thrown in for good measure.

Pick the tickets up Mac1. Makes me really sad to see him now. The Greatest.

Ian Botham would be my better ball partner. His smash and grab long hitting would be a perfect compliment to straight hitting and being local born I am sure we could find plenty to converse about.

The little honey in question is Rachel Bilson, but she won't play a round with you as she is busy washing my balls!
(although just so she doesn't sue me for slander, I would like to point out that at no time has Rachel Bilson ever, to my knowledge, washed, cleaned, scrubbed or polished my balls)

DOUG MELTON Who ? I hear you cry. As A scientist he took his concern for his own diabetic children and applied it to a controversial area of science — stem cells — that could benefit all of us. One application of Melton's work is well under way, with stem cells being developed that could replace the dopamine-producing brain cells in Parkinson's patients. Therefore I'm hoping that after the round, Doug and I become close mates and he will put me first in line for stem cell treatment to cure my life crippling disease known to you and I as "The Yips"

Looks a bit like Jim's dad from American Pie!  I'll retract that statement, he looks more like the designer blokey from Extreme Home Makeover (The missus watches) ........
