Speaking at last year’s show, Seaman said: “It’s a great show. I love coming up here every year.
“It’s just getting bigger and bigger every time and there’s all sorts here, everything you need to know about golf.
“Shows like this are great for golf. It gets all the companies in one place so you can walk round and test different products against each other.”
The NEC Golf Show takes place at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre from November 27-29 and will showcase everything golf from big-brand equipment to the latest gadgets and the best places to play and stay.
