Use of Golfsmith Coupons

[kfowler]

I received one of Golfsmith's Thanksgiving weekend coupons. They're offering 10% off on clubs. I'm interested in a new 3 wood. When I was checking out their prices on-line, it looks like almost all of the clubs are excluded from the 10% discount due to manufacturing agreements. Pretty worthless 10%.

My question is has anyone had any luck actually trying to use one these coupons in a physical store? Will they take it regardless of the club?

When I bought my nike hybrids I had a coupon for $50 off any purchase more than $250 - however nike was not on the excluded list for that one. When they scan the coupon it knows if it is valid on a particular club or not.

I received an e-mail from Sport Authority regarding 25% of their entire inventory so I was going to buy 3 boxes of PROV-1s but found out at the register that they exclude any golf equipment in small print.

I almost bought the PROV-1 for $29.99 plus tax per box but no go.

I've noticed the same thing on Golfsmith coupons. I have had two and couldn't use them for anything I needed.
