TED BITS, Ted McIntyre - Booth Babes 2008

There is no end to the PGA Merchandise Show. Well, it certainly seems that way anyway with respect to the annual Mother of All Golf Trade Shows that is staged at the mammoth Orange Country Convention Center in Orlando each January.

Well over half of the 1.1 million square foot edifice is devoted to 1,250 golf or golf-related companies, from equipment to soft goods, and from training aids to bizarre equipment on which many would-be inventors have spent their lifesavings but which haven’t a snowball’s chance in Miami of ever succeeding (more on that in a future blog.)
The trick, of course, is getting some of the tens of thousands of would-be buyers and media to stop in and look around at your humble booth and new products when there are 1,200 more booths and 10 miles of exhibitor aisles to navigate in three days.
In the age-old tradition of “sex sells,” however, many savvy entrepreneurs rent every hot babe and skimpy outfit they can get their golf gloves on in the attempt to stop traffic. If the Orange Country Convention Center roof ever collapsed during the golf show, Hooters and half the strip clubs in Central Florida would go out of business.
A few of the resident booth babes from this year’s edition follows.

The one girl, however, that got the most attention was LPGA Tour starlet Paula Creamer (below), who attracted a paparazzi of amateur and professional photographers and no shortage of autograph seekers when she stopped by the Sundog Eyewear booth.
