| - Anytime I have the opportunity to make a trip to Golf Galaxy (GG), it is guaranteed that I'll take advantage :)
My recent 1st trip to the store thanks to a gift card I received for a birthday netted (all puns intended) me a great new set of Ping G15's, a Cleveland driver & a new stand bag thanks to the awesome mailer coupons. This place is awesome!
GG is your one stop shop for all things golf and it is a golfer's playground off of the course. Great display stands giving access to all of the latest & greatest clubs, accessories & apparel. My favorite area, as I'm sure is everyone other golfer's, is the golf simulator where you can test out a club or two to get a feel for your new wish list item.
Right next door to the simulator is the fitting area and this is where it gets good. If you're in the market to get a new set of clubs, getting fitted is a must and the guys at GG take their time to get it right. No appointment needed, just make sure you know what you want and let the pros do the rest. Swing your irons to get the right club face angle for your swing. They let me walk my swing in until I got it just right. It was good to know that they were making sure that my clubs were perfect for me. Couple that with the swing technology to measure ball spin, distance, direction of shot, speed, etc and average it all out to make sure your clubs are doing what they're supposed to. My GG associate even recommended a different driver based on performance that actually saved me $100. That said a lot to me and ensured I'd be back for all my future new club needs.
Besides that, the store feels brand new and the products are all top of the line. I guess price is always relative to what someone can spend, but for me, I was able to get max value for my purchase thanks to the helpful staff and the cost saving coupons for being a store card holder.
And the measure of any good business is how the people who work for it treat their customers. My buddy and I actually went in the 1st time to take a look around and had a helpful associate get us some swing time in the simulator. The 2nd trip back in a few hours later had the register associate remember us and welcome us back and then had the store manager and an associate help get my new clubs fitted, clear up a few coupon questions and put in 2 custom orders for items that needed to be shipped in. At the end of the day, they made my purchase feel 10x the price I paid and you can't get any better than that.
Thanks GG and see you soon!
