PGA INTERNATIONAL GOLF SHOW TEES OFF IN LAS VEGAS

          The PGA International Golf Show runs through Wednesday
     at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas.  At
     this year's show, reps from 50 countries are expected to
     view the latest products and services of more than 1,100
     exhibitors (PGA Int'l Golf).  Polo Golf and Hugo Boss lines
     will debut at this year's show, while Nike and Top-Flite
     will be the show's largest exhibitors.  Attendance is also
     "expected" to top last year's record of 20,667 (iGolf).  In
     GOLFWEEK, Lynn Henning writes that "Moods, overall, are
     expected to be good at this year's show."  Business in '97
     has been "generally brisk," and new-product launches
     targeted for Las Vegas are "designed to take advantage of
     the climate" (GOLFWEEK, 9/6 issue).
