SEEN AT THE LONDON GOLF SHOW
 Day Two of the 2008 London Golf Show was a busy one, with a pleasing number of young golfers trying their skills at putting and long-driving, and picking up the many bargains on offer.
Among the celebrity guests was actor Robert Powell, most famous for his role as Jesus of Nazareth in Franco Zeffirelli's 1977 film of the same name, who sampled the attractions before giving a press conference.

[Editors note: We understand that the organisers would not allow Powell to walk across the Thames to the Floating Green in order to be able to chip onto it from close range and win the holiday at TPC Sawgrass, as this would have been unfair to the shore-bound competitors who are all contributing to charity with their more difficult, full-length shots.]
The show is open from 10am - 4pm on Sunday, and with so much to see and do, we recommend you get to ExCel early and avoid the queues at the very popular competition and simulator stands. Tickets cost £10 for a single, or £15 for two - money you'll easily make up on the bargains you'll find.
Here's a small selection of products we think you should take a look at. Even if some of them are on the expensive side, one can always dream! And talking of dreams.....

Stewart Golf Trolleys (Stand C-21)
'Dream Machines' they call them. You have to see these superb machines to believe them. Stewart trolleys are engineered like F1 cars and look as sleek. Indeed the 'F1 Lithium' (for 'Folding One', they say) almost carries an F1 price tag - £2500. But there are cheaper models for barely more than a grand!

Fourteen - Made in Japan Golf (Stand B-50)
It is a real pleasure to discover these beautiful, traditionally modelled clubs that combine cutting-edge Japanese design and the latest technology. Much used by pros (although they're paid to play better-known brands) and makers of the best selling wedges in Asia, they are a dream to hold and behold.

The Koata Golf Rain Bag
The trouble with most rain-hoods for carry-bags is that your clubs are wet before you've dug it out of the pocket and fitted it. Koata have solved this with a light, easy-fit bag that you can leave on the whole round and which folds neatly back when not needed. Simple, but very efficient. Stand S-99.

Perfecta Putt (stand G-19)
The perfect solution to putting practice. No setting up - just plonk it on the ground and it's ready. Precision-machined aluminium discs, the exact diameter of a golf hole,
are spring-loaded with just enough pressure to trap the ball if it enters at the right speed. It even lips out like a real hole! Try it and buy it!

Beautiful Irish crystal that can be engraved, or even have a coloured logo or photograph embedded in it. A real change from clunky silverware or sombre wooden plaques. Stand S-20.
