The Results Group, the Syracuse-based event and trade-show planner that purchased the rights to the Long Island Golf Show in 2010, will not run a local golf expo in 2013. The group operated the last Long Island Golf Show in March 2011, which included appearances by John Daly and The Golf Channel's Michael Breed.
"At this time we have no intention of bringing back a golf show on Long Island," said Tom Tarry, president of The Results Group, which runs a series of annual events throughout the Central New York region.
The future of the Long Island Golf Show became murky last winter when the 2012 expo scheduled for March 23-25 at Suffolk Community College was pulled from the schedule. Prior to that, organizers of the 2011 show expressed concerns about lack of participation and interest from local golf courses and businesses, especially in comparison to the group's highly popular Syracuse Golf Show held each winter.
