I don't know how pro shops sell any gear at their prices. I constantly see polos in pro shops for £60 that are £25 online.
I bought today.....

I know the embroidery of club crests cost between £9-15 per polo, so your near £40 for the polo. He or she then has to make some profit. I will always support my pro over any online shop. He's available 7days a week 365 days a year and will usually acknowledge the support throughout the year by discounting other bits. He's loaned me a driver at the drop of the hat for example when i left it in the car boot at home.

I like my club's pro but not enough to spend £60 on a £25 shirt I'm afraid. Doesn't help that he only seems to sell Penguin, Glenmuir and Island Green.

To be honest I only uee Pro shop credit to buy from the shop....there's no clubs, few balls other than ProV or TP5, Footjoy shoes which dont seem tk agree with my feet and pretty much everything else has the club crest on it.
I've had 2 shirts recently..would have cost 100 quid...cost me 7.

I would do the same, but the last time I got something back from a comp (losing finalist) they offered me pro shop or bar tab, so I chose the bar. No-brainer.

Our Pro is retiring at the end of the year so any winnings now go into the bar card...
By February we'll have a new shop run by the same bunch who run 4 or 5 Pro shops in the area...should mean access to trial clubs, fittings etc etc..

Our Pro is great, he's really proactive, will try and locate anything we ask him for and price matches whenever he can. Obviously a small pro shop can't hold massive stocks but he really works hard to keep the members supplied

We had a new pro arrive last year and he has been a huge difference
Loads of very good Glenmuir crested clothing as well as FJ and Castore
Lots of good selection

A pair of Skechers GO GOLF Pro 6 shoes and a Spurk mat and bag for what looks like being another wet winter. Now at a club that protects the course, so a mat is fine with me if it means conditions like this June - September.
As for our proshop, it's a bit weird. Quite a lot of older golfers and although we have Peter Millar, we also have G4 stuff! We do have a strong junior section too, which maybe explains it. Some great branded products too.

Disappointing. We had one come in about a decade ago and he was poor. Such a come down from the guy that had been there 20 years plus. Fortunately the poor pro moved on and the one we have now is excellent. Makes such a difference

Just picked up my TSR1 driver 9 degrees head regular MMT shaft.
Hit a few balls at the range. Really pleased dialled the loft down, hitting the ball higher than I normally do but it’s not stalling from what I could see.

A dozen Chrome Tour balls....usually play the Chrome Soft but thought I'd give the Tour a go whilst it is still warm.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
I have got £68s worth of vouchers in my pocket that I have had for months. I always look on the sale rail. £70 odd quid for a galvin green top reduced to £65. You can shove it. Support your club pro. Here’s a thought.Support your customers.

Do you expect them to sell to you at a loss ?

Makes me realise how lucky we are to have Andrew as our Pro. (Bargain Golf Equipment)
