| - I've been to a million golf stores. Seriously maybe a million.
Galaxy's have basically everything you can imagine. New iron sets, new drivers, woods, and hybrids, a hundred varieties of balls, a nice big selection of putters and wedges, full sets of clubs w/ bag, gloves, hats and accessories, mens and womens clothes and shoes, clubmaking supplies and all the tools necessary, etc.
I went in to look around, because it's next to the guitar center my girl went into. I'm less than interested in going into a guitar store so I went to the galaxy and started my perusing.
Nothing really got me excited, I have nice clubs and all the accessories I need, but something I wanted to look at was clubmaking supplies. I needed some grip tape so I bought a big roll of the 2" tape for $6.99 and I bought a squirt bottle ($1.99) for my can of mineral spirits at home. I have the two grips I want to change already so I didn't need to buy those. (putter grips average around $7-12 a piece and club grips average about the same depending on the material and the name brand you choose)
We walked around the store looking at all the prices of everything they have, they all seemed pretty standard retail prices but maybe just a touch lower than other prices I've seen.
One small thing they could improve on is their selection of used clubs, it's mostly junk and the prices are a little high considering how the new clubs are priced. I saw a couple different clubs that were just beat to hell and still had a pretty high price. There were two sets of (very) used mizuno irons on the rack, and they looked like they were in play for 3+ years and the grooves were bad and they looked like they were played out of the desert on about every other hole and the price tag was still $300+. That same set on ebay would go for about 125-175 max!
Overall, my experience was very good, spent less than 10 bucks and was in and out in about 15 mins after browsing for a little bit.
Solid 4 stars. If I'm in the area I might swing back by and see the new clubs.
