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.
