Interesting. My favorite golf store as well.

Interesting. The PGA Tour Superstore is 30 miles away from me, or roughly 45 minutes with no traffic. There are 5 Toys R Us locations within 10 miles of me. Any one of those turning into a PGA Tour Superstore would be a good thing.

I would be all for a Pga Superstore taking a spot now vacated by Toys r us. It would be even better if they open a 2nd Long Island location closer to me. Current location is 45 minutes away.

They opened a PGA superstore here less than a year ago, right across the street from a Toys R Us...

Kind of interesting. The Blank Family opening more PGA stores, while closing several of their Home Depoe stores. 

Nearest TRU store to me, has a Golf Galaxy a few doors down from it. Not that it matters. My golf shopping these days only consist of 8-9 dozens of golf balls each year.

Interesting. There is one Toys R Us store in the area and one good size golf retailer, Golf Headquarters. The golf market is kind of limited here, and I don't know if PGA Superstore would think it wise to move in. But if they did, I figure that would be the end of GH!

I have a PGASS, Golf Galaxy and Edwin Watts all within half a mile from each other. There’s a nearby TRU as well. There’s another TRU even closer to my house...which would be nice. Can’t complain in Florida though. In Colorado I had a Golf Smith (RIP) but it was over 45min away.

Thanks for sharing. Surprised to hear PGA golf stores are doing well but glad. There is one near my work with indoor practice simulators that I use every day. The deal is so good I almost don't like to share it.

Hmm... I have a Golf Galaxy near enough to me, and I pass two Roger Dunns regularly.  There's a good PGA Superstore near my parents, about a mile from a great driving range near them too.  Wouldn't mind having another one nearby though.

We are struggling for a quality golf store here in Northwest Arkansas (one of the fastest growing parts of the country). The TRU that closed had an awesome location. Wish PGASS would snag that baby up!
