Through some luck I have a several hundred $$$ worth of shop credit (1200) I can not use it for green fees or cart or membership. My thought is buy some stuff and flip it here or on ebay. Then use the money for membership next year so what would you buy? scotty cameron putter, the latest driver, high end rainwear? remember I want to flip it at the highest dollar, with the least shipping cost etc whats hot right now?

Does the credit expire? Regardless, I'd buy consumables with a bunch if it. 10 dozen balls, a dozen gloves, new shoes, etc.. If you don't have high-end rain gear, I'd definitely get some. Then whatever with the rest....

Probably a high end putter or driver would get you the most money back, and then take $25-50 off of what they sell in stores. Try CL or local online classifieds first (will save you the shipping). When you post it for sale, maybe explain your story about buying them with your pro-shop credit and Re-selling "new" at a discount... Otherwise some people might pass it over as a scam. Or even post something on CL about what you're doing, and see who wants what. Tell them to bring cash and they can come with you right to the pro shop and pick what they want out themselves

I'd go with the latest and greatest rangefinders Bushnell Tour X or Scotty Cameron putters so you're only trying to sell a few items versus many (reduces shipping costs and trips to the UPS store).  Another option is to put a ad in Craigslist that offers the $1200 in store credit in exchange for whatever you'd like to get out of it, $900 seems reasonable.

If you're really trying to flip whatever you buy, I'd go with a few Scotty putters. I generally see even old, used, banged-up ones sell for nearly their MSRP.

In my bag:

I agree with Jamo and your first instinct for the Scotty putters.

No the credit doesn't actually expire. the 1-10 dozen proV1 is pretty impractical when you figure out the cost and shipping cost. I'm thinking Scotty, FJ tourxp dry joy rainwear, maybe the new Taylormade m1 driver 9-10.5 stiff RH. Or Jason Days putter. Or air Jordan golf shoes.

I don't understand. It's a local shop. They don't stock balls and stuff? Why would you have to pay shipping?

I don't want the balls I want the cash, so someone like your self May by 6 dozen prov1, if you were willing to buy them for 35.00 per dozen. Would you be willing to pay another 25-30 for shipping? I know I wouldn't. For an individual, shipping cost has ballooned in the past few years.

Shipping is way cheaper than ever before for everybody. Just look at Amazon.

    • I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
