The Golf Show - NEC Birmingham - November 2007
26 September 2007
The Belfry's Gary Alliss is one of Golf Monthly's top 25 UK golf coaches - and visitors to The Golf Show, NEC Birmingham, will be able to see for themselves just why he's received that accolade.
Alliss, who also captains Great Britain's PGA team's defence of the Llandudno Trophy in the United States this month, will lead a team of Belfry professionals in providing free coaching at the show's first outing in November.
The four-time Ryder Cup venue has signed up as an official partner to the inaugural show and will have a large presence at the NEC with a specialist coaching area.
The Golf Show, NEC Birmingham, is a new event for the National Exhibition Centre, but its sister show, the London Golf Show, is now in its fourth successful year at ExCeL in the city's Docklands area - and the Birmingham show is set to copy that successful template.
Gary Silcock, The Belfry's director of golf, said: "Becoming a partner to The Golf Show, NEC Birmingham, was an easy decision for us. The success of the London Golf Show is well documented and there seems no reason why, at last, we should not have a well-attended show in the region.
"As the area's premier golfing destination and venue - and with our superb academy facilities - we were delighted to be able to become involved with the show on so many levels. It gives our teaching professionals the opportunity to work with people who might not otherwise have considered The Belfry for their golf tuition.
