8. £200 worth of golf from the Leaderboard Group

Fancy yourself as an accurate iron player? Visitors to the show can win a car, courtesy of Mazda Motors UK Limited, when they participate in the

hole-in-one competition on one of the The London Golf Show simulators.

10. Longest drive simulator

One of many fun activities at the show, the longest drive simulator will test your driving prowess and power off the tee. Have a bash, and see if you come out on top at the end of the three days.

What's more...

All golfers can undertake a Titleist golf ball fitting, so they can get fitter for a ball which suits them and their game.

The Leaderboard group will be running a competition to win a Mazda 6 if you guess the correct registration plate. The competition closes on the last day of the exhibition, so make sure you visit for your chance to inherit new car!
