I started a thread yesterday about gppgolf.com and i received a positive response about the website. But what i want to know is how do they sell for so cheap. For instance these Nike clubs ( http://www.gppgolf.com/gppg/content/...ariantId=67522 ) are $500 at Dicks. Is there something that i'm missing here?

They're definately legit so lets just get that straight. Why their prices are so low is something I don't know, nor would I speculate.

So I wouldn't be taking a risk if I purchased these from them?

Oh, idk about this site, that's just my response to why a site would have ridiculous prices.

they also sell em for $279 BRAND NEW on ebay and $299 at RockBottomGolf. Dicks is just overpriced

Yes Dick's is like the last major golf store on the market too reduce anything. I guess it's because they sell so many other sporting goods that they can let clubs set there for a few years before they mark them down.

Unfortunately the best stocked pro shop near me is a Dick's so I do buy balls and gloves from there, that's about it!

Yeah im in the exact same situation. However my Dick's has a very helpful staff so that is a major plus.

Don't knock Dick's. You can find some really good deals there if you are patient. Yesterday I just bought a Callaway FT-i Tour LCG 9.5* i-Mix with Aldila DVS 60-S shaft for $150!!!

This site you are talking about has the same club (non i-Mix version with the stock Ozik shaft) for $399.

I don't know about this particular site, but might these clubs be old? Perhaps they are selling "model year 2007 or 2008" clubs. When I bought my Big Bertha 2008's, people were still selling BB 2006, new.

Right place at the right time I guess. I had never seen the i-Mix stuff in Dick's. Granted, they were already together and did not come with the wrench, but the components were brand new. They had 4 or 5 of them, but only one was the Tour LCG model. I saw them Monday at lunch, went back to the office and researched them. Once I saw what they were selling for other places and then realized my worst case if I hated the club, the trade-in value of that combo at callawaypreowned.com is $100 I figured it was a no brainer. Buy it, play it, if I don't like it I'm going to get a minimum of 70% of the purchase price in trade for it. Crazy.

I've never bought clubs from them nor do I know anyone that has. That's not to say they aren't completely legit. One reason they may be significantly cheaper than Dick's though is the fact that they don't need to carry a margin anywhere near what Dick's does. Dick's has to pay for millions of square feet of retail space whereas on online retailer can work out of his or her garage or basement.

      I discussed it today but can call back and re-confirm.  I would love to be wrong on that point.

      There are plenty of amazing things people are doing every single day, but if other people don't care about it, nobody is going to notice. LPGA is not popular that popular, so despite the great achievement, is not getting any attention and is going to be forgotten very soon. On the other side, if tiger farts louder than normal we are definitively going to know about it because tiger is popular.

      @StuM when I called the course a couple of months ago they said you can mention that you want to add an extra night to the hotel when you book the package through them and the people who are in charge of the stay and play can handle it, did you ask them about that?

      1st Tee 190yd Par 3 Strategy

      By p1n9183 ·

      Though start, bad design. For me.. I would tee it up and hit the biggest club face in the bag that don't airmail the green. Also hit a fade that is a lot easier for me to hit up on the air. 180/190.. it should be a high cut with 3 Wood with a tee 1 inch above the turf.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By p1n9183 ·

      I'm on the side of thinking that something is not right here and should be reviewed. Let say that their course rating is pretty low, so their index is higher than it should be. But if they always play at their home course they are probably going to play bad away from home so it should even that advantage out or at least lower it down.  Also you can say that they are amazing players under pressure and very skilled in match play format, but at the end of the day variance and luck is always going to play a big role between 2 players of similar handicap. Let's assume that player A have 75% chance of winning a match over player B that only have 25%, there is no way that a player's skill in match play can make such a difference in a match outcome but I prefer to use a number that is hard to argue. (For me.. 60/40, or 65/35 at most) The odds of winning 21 straight matches with that  generous odds are less than 1% (or 1 in 420). Is this proof that they are "cheating" or something, of course not but is evidence enough to note that something is not right and should be reviewed further.
