I want a golf store that I can have a relationship with. You can't do that with Edwin Watts, Golf Galaxy, Golfsmith or any of the other big box retailers.

but you have to be willing to start up a relationship with them first.
I've heard way to many people claim that mom and pop operations are more personal. It may be true to a small extent, but in the long run if you get to know the business people you will get as good(or better service)and more choices.
I dealt with Jim's and was quite happy till I had some young man try to explain how his -10years of experience meant more than my 50+ years experience. An arrogant prick was what he was and so sure of his dealings with village golfers he couldn't recognize a real golfer if it smacked him in the head with a 1 iron. Not surprising Jim sold out.
Don't limit your choices because you "think" big businesses only think about the bottom line. In some cases that might be true, but in many it's a local person trying to succeed.
I'll bet you don't own a car by a small company, or buy groceries, or buy clothes, etc. etc. etc.
