EW I've been in about 40 times over the past 3 years. They usually are polite but due seem to be quite loud with their conversations and comments about sports teams, players and whatever else is on their mind. Makes me feel like I'm in an office with other workers but I don't know any of them. I've bought clubs there because they take trades and I'm sometimes too lazy to sell them on eBay.
I've been using Nike Dura-Feel Gloves for about 4 years, they are about $10 to $12 at most places. You can find them online, a four pack for $25. I play about once a week 18 holes on a championship and they last me about 2 to 3 months.
I've had gray Wynn Dri-Tac grips on my clubs for the past year, they feel great at first but don't keep the tackyness for long. I had bought them and had them installed at the Sarasota Pro Shop in TV. They charged $10 a club for grips and labor. I had them replaced last week at Jim's Golf Shop with Golf Pride Tour Wraps in white, grips and labor was $90. That's a nice shop owned by a Villager in front of Target, between the Century Link Store and Jersey Mike's Subs.

The new store is in the little plaza where the urgent care is. The owner was a touring pro.
I see the Nike Dura Feel on Ebay at a good price, would really like find one in a store 1st to check the fit first though. Being a southpaw is great on all those doglegs to the right.. but MAN I would love to have the demos to try you right handers get
How do you like the tour wraps?
I like Jim's, but it is a little out of the way for most of my travels. They have been great every time I have been in the store, and I always check them out for a big purchase.
I bought my Bushnell Hybrid rangefinder there, and when I downloaded the update, it cleared the GPS of all the courses and went buggy. I took it back to Jim's, and instead of them blowing me off to deal with the manufacturer ( completely within the warrantee agreement), one guy there spent like 2 hours on the phone with Bushnell and got it fixed for me. They also are quite ready to check a shaft flex or whatever at no charge, doesn't matter if you are purchasing something or not.
Jim's gets 5 stars in my book, for "not being (enter big sporting goods store name)" like the sign out front says :P
