Some of the prices just seem too low to be feasible.

Has anyone in the UK or Ireland used them before?

If my conversion from pounds to dollars is even close to being accurate (~1.9) then those prices aren't too bad. I'd say its 15 percent lower than your average retail store or pro shop, though.

Yea but you gotta remember if something is $500 in america, its £500 here which is twice the price! Its a joke having to pay so much more for items. And its not just with golf i also notice it with computer gear and im sure there are a lot of other goods the same too.

Exactly. We always pay a markup on the US price, hence I am very skeptical at such attractive prices.

The site looks legit to me. Searched the WHOIS data online, and that site has been registered since 1999. If they were selling counterfeit equipment, I doubt that site would be around that long. Typically when people are selling fake stuff, they will change domains every couple months to attract new buyers, and possibly get repeat business from those that dont know any better. It is registered to The Brentwood Golf Centre, King Georges playing fields in Brentwood. I am not sure if this means anything to you, but I would have to surmise that this site is legit.

Most of the big discounts are on "end of line" equipment? The new stuff is fairly typical of prices at stores like American Golf or Nevada Bob's?

Check out www.pricebustergolf.co.uk . Great prices (at least by UK standards). I've bought quite a few things from them and the products, service and delivery have been great.

    • Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.
    • Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
    • Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.  
    • I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play. 
    • Day 1: worked on my drill for my arms.
