Just wondering how many people purchase their equipment online via the web, as opposed to walking into a retail store (prefer the look & feel approach).

I buy online mostly. I either research the crap out of it online or buy in a store and restock online (balls, etc.)

I'm considering picking a driver based on demos locally but buying online. I'd feel bad, but when you can get a $300 club for less than $100 online, its hard to justify that the sales pitch or demo was worth $200.

Yeah I know exactly where your coming from. The online store concept over here in Australia is yet to take off (apart from Ebay, but hey you risk buying a fake). I suppose the U.S. has always embraced technology a lot quicker, and hey, your population is way more than our little island down under.

A lot of my incentives at work are paid in gift cards and the only place I can get golf equipment is Austads.

Sine they are located somewhere far from here I have to buy most stuff online.

You can get such great deals online, like ebay, it's hard not to buy. Just check the dealer's rating and you should be ok. I'm sure it's more expensive to ship to Australia, but I got a set of new Wilson Di7 irons, 4-gw plus sw for $300.00 and a new set of Nike CCI's with graphite shafts for $325.00. I was weary of the TM Superquad I got (for $149.00 new) but checked with TM and gave them the Serial Number and they confirmed that is was legit. I got my Bridgestone Gravity Chamber Hybrids for about $35 each, new, all off Ebay, but mostly from the larger dealers... jmoc

      Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ConorHealy · Posted

      Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
