What they have to say
In today’s world we know that our customers are willing to shop both online and offline so we believe passionately in meeting their needs, regardless of channel.
For a sport like golf, customers generally research significantly before they buy, and our online channel is central to that phase of the purchasing process. As well as facilitating a sale online, our website gives us the opportunity to educate our customer base on the range and brands we carry, share technical specifications, and even encourage them in-store for bespoke services, like custom fitting or to get clubs re-gripped.”
