And so is Miller''s Ale House

I went there my first time this past summer. I don't golf but their PGA polos (spandex material?) are awesome. It's like wearing silk. Perfect summer shirts. I go to the clearance racks and get them for $25. Now you got me wondering if I should go stock up, lol.

Prices are ridiculous. Never go there.

Some folks are apparently confused about the PGA Superstore's business model.

Like most every other retail item, "online purchasing" has gobbled up a large percentage of sales. in the golf industry, "green grass shops" are no longer in vogue for hard goods (particularly clubs). Because of the variety of brands, models and specs, it's no longer practical to stock all the various combinations available, particularly with a limited clientele, consisting of the folks who play golf at that course.

Enter PGA Superstore.

There will remain a number of consumers, who insist on seeing, felling and touching what they buy. The PGA Superstore caters to these folks. They stock most every major brand at prices that rival the online suppliers.

While this (PGA Superstore) model was practical 20 years ago, when everyone had a storefront, things have changed. There are now some smaller, local shops. There are few stores such as Edwin Watts (which is where I go) ... & there's PGA Superstore.

If you need to feel it, touch it, smell it ... it's the place to go. If you want to window-shop, it's the place to go. If you buy your golf clubs, based on what they look like and what color ... it's the place to go. Women make up a disproportionate % of their customers.

Maybe the PGA store should start selling alcohol.

too expensive

Buy my clubs from Callaway preowned and regrip them myself. I take standard length and lie. Buy what was the latest and greatest technology two or three years ago for a fraction of the price. Buy mint condition golf balls from lostgolfballs.com (Titelist Velocity for about $1 per ball) and pick up free tees from the ground. Order a new glove every couple months from Amazon. My wife gets me an occasional golf shirt or pair of shorts for Christmas or my birthday. Don’t need anything else?

Do you think it’s because almost every piece in the store is well over $100?

Yes
 

I have purchased irons and other golf supplies. Very competitive prices and helpful staff.

Their pricing is not particularly a draw

Pga store
 

You might want to think about taking your needed golf lessons there.

Lee Trevino said, it takes a golf club 30 days to get to know you.........then it acts just like the old ones...........

Improve your golf swing and save money on equipment or chase technology, your choice, BUT, judging by the number of stores and options to buy that are available people have chosen to chase. Evidently, learning is a harder choice and it's more fun to buy a swing than to own one. Then next year you can repeat the process......and next year and next year........you keep them in business, bless you

Never met a golf club that improved me more than a golf lesson does........most golfers live a delusional world and they are happy so these stores do provide a service........cheaper than a therapist

I wasn't suprised that a lot of posters call it pricey. More suprised that there are a few that say the prices are competitive. I'll have to check it out before they close.

Most name brand(current models) are priced the same. High end balls same thing. Tough business. Clubs last a long time and very few technical changes recently. Biggest change was the Ping Eye clubs 30+ years ago.

Almost 50 years ago, for the PING Eye irons. 1978.

They were undoubtedly a major change, but there have been plenty of significant improvements since then. If there weren't, we'd still all be playing those PINGS.

Only buy Grips if i need one. Good prices on them. Nothing else. Easy place to get lost. Were only two customers besides me.
