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!

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.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I realize the frame cuts off my tail but wanted to specifically see my hand path and club shaft and head travel from A5 to A7 with the grip and posture work I have been doing . This might be the shallowest I have managed to get the club head to enter into impact. I like the finish much more as well.

      Context:  I used to play golf very regularly (and when I'm playing regularly, I'm on TST regularly).  In summer 2022, I got my handicap down to a personal-best 11.9.  Unfortunately, in the three years since then, I've had far less time to play, and didn't really make the time to practice.  I've played a bit more the past few months, and I anticipate having a lot more time to practice starting in about two months, at which point I'm hoping to go back to my old practice habits (practicing daily, Evolvr lessons, spending more time on TST (come to think of it, I can do that important last part now)).   But it was thinking about how different my nines have been a few times in the past month or so that made me wonder if there was a thread here about it, and sure enough, there was.  In the past month or so, I've had a 38-46 and a 45-39.
