Here's the site owner's info.  It was setup in February.  Those prices aren't possible if he's on the up and up.  I'd steer clear.

The owner of this site appears to have a job as a tax accountant.  Owns and runs a company called Impact Accounting in Gadsden, AL.

Here's the dude's pic under the title of sexiest accountant: http://v1.pxspot.com/public/file_viewDetail.asp?uid=17318&fileID;=104569&albumID;=8096

I'll try and run his public records when I have time.  I'm sure there is a civil suit out there against him for something.

Holy $%&@, Mr. 3Wiggle could have my senior picture, credit score, and dental records up here in a matter of minutes I think.

Too bad about the $0.00 putter, I would have thought that to be a great deal!

Nah, I'm not that good.  Just a few quick google searches given the info on his Who Is lookup.

He's running the same bull over there too.

http://www.golfonsaleus.com/article-5-Retail+Operations.html

Someone asks him point blank if his stuff is from OEM.  He says yes.  He could be prosecuted for this and his info is right out there in the open.  He's not too bright.

On that site they claim to be located in Chicago, IL.  One thing that doesn't add up.  The language in their company writeups seems like it was written by someone who didn't speak English as their first language.  Perhaps this Brian Crawford fellow is an innocent pawn and someone just used his name and address because it was readily available online.

Making two whole websites?  That's a lot of work for a scam.  But I do see my 5 year old Clevelands are now on sale for $369.99

The other site seems to be the old one, that people got wise to already.

I just reported him to Titleist.

Since you found all the info, I provided them with everything. They need to shut that guy down.

I should call that number, and say I'm an IRS agent, and we are in the process of inspecting your records for golf equipment fraud.

LOL.  Tell them you're auditing his business financials because they didn't file a tax return last year.  The guy being a tax accountant will probably crap his pants.

I should have done that. Maybe I will, that's funny as hell.

Now this is getting fun. I just wrote him this email.

Hello Mr. Brian Crawford. You are selling counterfeit golf equipment, and I have reported you to the Federal Authorities internet crimes unit.

I have also reported you to several of the golf manufacturers you are selling as counterfeits.

And I have given all your information to them, such as your accounting firm.

    • Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV. 
    • It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.
    • Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄 
    • And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
    • He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.
