Tashyboy
Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Might be a bold sweeping statement, and not one that many on here for whatever reason would want to hear, But.
Me and Missis Tash have just been up to his main Shirebrook depot on the edge of the Notts and Derbyshire border. Went into his Maxx brands shop which is a ripoff/copy of TK Maxx. A couple of years ago it was Rammel with a capital R. So in a couple of years how the hell does he get Stone Island, Versace, and every other brand in between down to the dregs like Dunlop. It is unbelieveable. Now that last bit I could of posted in OOB. But this is why it's in " The Lounge".
As me and Missis T pulled up he has opened another 3 or 4 shops, and shops undersells it. They are American Mall sized shops. One, for those that have overactive Knives and forks ( Big and Large uns). Triathlon sporty types shop ( TRUIK) . Equestrian, fishing etc is another. And finally a Mahoosive bloody great big Golf shop called PRO 18 DIRECT GOLF. Once more it is big. Now when I saw it I thought " that's a lot of Dunlop and Slazenger". No and flippin ECK no. Galvin Green, Oscar Jacobsen, Lacoste, FJ, Puma, Adidas, UA, the list goes on re clothing. Golf clubs, Titliest, Callaway, Wilson staff, in fact I cannot remember them all. All I could remember was that there was no Ping. Lovely massive putting green for most putters inc Scotty Cameron, odyssey and Wilson staff. Plus two simulators. He has a PGA pro to give lessons and fittings. They will price match with most companies except internet companies. The place is just massive and spacious not like his high street shops.
Had a natter with the guy that is running the shop, he said " we had a soft opening/ launch two weeks ago"."Didn't want to pay a fortune for a pro to come along for the day to open it ". They are relying on golfers to spread the word, and they/I will/have. I also softly mentioned about Mr Ashley's interest in American golf. He said " it's no suprise he has been after it for some time". He also mentioned that Ashley is serious about his venture into golf, he does not want to be seen as aiming at the cheap end of golf ie slazenger/Dunlop, he has persuaded the like of Galvin Green etc ( who will not be price beaten only matched, his words not mine),that he is serious about golf.
If and this is a massive if. If Ashley gets to buy American Golf and is able to turn them shops into what he has showcased at his Shirbrook HQ. It is gonna bog off quite a lot of people in the trade, but for us golfers it could be massive.
Me, if I was someone at Golf Monthly, I would jump in me car and have a quiet drive up to Shirebrook to see if Ashley's revolution is here to stay. Don't forget you heard it first off Tashyboy first.
Discuss if you wish.
