GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM)- The 23rd annual West Michigan Golf Show opensed Friday afternoon at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids.

The Golf Show has enjoyed enormous success and growth in its more than two decades of giving Michigan golfers a cure for the winter blahs. About 150 vendors are on hand this weekend selling merchandise and travel packages. Guest speakers and programs are part of the schedule once again. The featured speaker is PGA of America's Teacher of the Year Todd Anderson on stage Friday night and again Saturday.

Thousands of people will attend this weekend looking for the latest and greatest trends in golf. "The show keeps up with the times in the industry," said show manager Carolyn Alt. "You can come every year because you have to keep up. Maybe you need some new equipment or you're thinking about going to a different golf course and it's such a great opportunity to learn about all the golf courses that are out there."
