Pro Shops vs Online Stores
« on: August 27, 2006, 09:17:58 AM »
Let the debate begin !!! Im interested in some opinions as to why so many people use online stores for their equipment instead of local Pro Shops. This is a topic that we discuss regularly and i'd like to get some opinions from around the country

On the Pro Shop side ( which im a part of ) - pros :
Face to Face customer service
No hidden shipping / drilling fees ( at least in our case )
If there is a problem, we take care of it
Professional service - the guy on the other end of the phone doesnt know you

Id like to hear all comments good and bad

the pro shop cost on the rsp is about $90.00
so your guy is selling you this ball for $115 drilled and with inserts and a slug.

and he is making $25.00 total.

that's pretty good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now do you work for him?
do you do odd jobs for him?
are you his brother, father, or mother, or sister?
or are you just a real customer who walks in to the shop and gets this great price?

glad to hear about your good deal!!!
