And soot begins - direct golf / sports direct!

[Oddsocks]

So checking Facebook on the train this morning and a new alert from direct golf ...... It taken less than a month for a respected high street retailer to be turned into ..... Well...... The pic says it all

 

[Oddsocks]

Why was this moved here when posted in the lounge?

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Dunno, moved it back
possibly bleary eyed mod syndrome

Sometimes I just don't get the joke...

"Well...... The pic says it all"

 

[Oddsocks]

Any better slab?

 

[Slab]

Any better slab?

Nah, still not working




Although I am trying to buy a canvas wrap of your impressive image titled "Sorry This person may have removed or deleted this image"

Bargain at $18.99 I thought

So is it out for John Letters and in for Dunlop. Two once great brands that had been following rather different paths recently.

I used to call into DG the odd time for balls or shoes. No longer.

 

[Oddsocks]

It does discredit the direct golf brand

 

[dufferman]

Yikes. American Golf must be popping champagne!

Why does it?

I thought it was just me.

It seems in this instance a picture does not say more than a 1000 words....

For me when you look at where DG were with all the premier brands, for their first social media to be a push on Dunlop as a brand " to me " shows a down wood trend in the companies trading activities

One assumes the 40% off is off the price and not the distance you can hit it????

I think its about Direct Golf totally losing its own identity within a month & gone down the line of discount Dunlop gear as per what sports direct were known for ..

Sorry I have not been following the story here but it kind of looks like Direct Golf has been taken over by Mike Ashley from the OP.

ok I sort of understand now, except what does the soot means in the thread title? is it a nickname for Ashley or something?

Its a mistype....should have been "so it begins"....just "i" and "o" are next to each other on the keyboard.
