Golf related, I promise.
Firstly, my shopping trip to the sales was a disaster....retailers going bust selling off utter tat for simply cheeky prices.
Take Zavvi and Woolies....talk about taking the ****.
Games (kids DS/PS2) supposedly reduced still 5-10 pounds MORE (!) expensive than game stores and DVDs.....tosh.....
Zavvi were flogging individual dr who dvds at 12 pounds for 3 episodes....= 48 pounds for the series....well the online guys and supermarkets are doing the NEW complete series (all boxed and with extras) for about 24 quid!!
Anyhow, I thought I'd look at the American Golf website, and any respect I had for AG has just gone out the window and now they can jolly well go bust along with all the others. Why? Well, they've joined the jjbs of this world and are selling TaylorMade R5XL range......barclays bankers.....
This range of INFERIOR Taylor Made products was produced for an American Sports chain and jjb got in on the act. Now, don't get me wrong, these are proper clubs and work as a proper club and might have been a good buy 2 years ago for 99 quid. But now? NO....I thought we'd seen the last of this range, but some numpty at AG reckons they should flog a load online to unsuspecting punters at FULL PRICE years after the fact.
I wanted to look at wedges, just in case, and AG in their wisdom reckon that by taking 2.5% of the price of a wilson staff wedge, they are actually doing a sale.....
I shall email them on Monday and express my lack of approval. I reckon AG would be hard pressed to sell G2s at 99 quid, and that was a proper range driver in it's day...not some unknown special run from Bejing's factories of clones.....
End of rant.....you can imagine shopping with HID has made me not grumpy at all.
