Nevada Bob's

Have they gone under???

There used to be two near here - Tunbridge Wells and Broadgate in The City. Both are now American Golf.

If anyone's got any vouchers/credits with Nevada Bob's then it might be worth spending them ASAP.

Don't think so, my one is still going strong up the road in Copford.

Still got one in Reading and Farnborough

I know AG have taken over the two range shops at Croydon and Sidcup world of golf ranges, maybe AG are just on a buying spree. It's a shame though as although the range of products has increased at both since the take over, the discounts have gone and the seemed to have gained the " kick you in the wotsits" attitude on part exchange clubs.

A lot of the Nevada Bobs shops I think were franchises and a few of those franchises have been sold on, some to direct golf to american golf

Yep our Nevada Bob's in Canterbury has been sold on and is an independent. Same guys running it so I guess the same inflexible attitude as before!

Good for a walk round and touch all the shiny stuff but not to part with readies!

Sorry for a slight hijack... but, chris, do you know anywhere local(ish) that does good stuff at good prices? I'll be looking for waterproofs soon and wanted somewhere I can try the stuff on rather than just ordering it online and hoping it fits.

cheers

Hi James

I like the golf shop in Rainham and the golf range at Chatham as they both keep good stocks and are within a few miles of each other. I usually push for a bit of extra discount on the basis that I have seen a good one at the other at a slightly cheaper price but if they can do a deal it would save the drive back! Cheeky but it often works

Locally, Nick at Sene Valley holds good stock and is negotiable and, as your at Littlestone on Friday Andrew Jones carries a fair stock and might be worth a chat to.

Wet suits may be thin on the ground at the moment as "apparently" it's mid summer, although yopu wouldn't think so being in Folkestone all day!

Good luck Friday - let us know how you get on

Nevada Bob in Reading is now Direct Golf, much the same except with a lot more John Letters stuff!

 

[TXL]

Still got one in Reading and Farnborough

Both these stores are now Direct Golf - no longer Nevada Bobs.

 

[DaveM]

The one in Manchester is now A/Golf.

 

[GB72]

The NB in Peterborough is now Direct Golf as well.

They only just opened a shop near me 4 months ago AW....
Although having said that the sports outlet over here called Elvery's bought the Nevada Bob franchise for this particular area so i don't know if that qualifies.

 

[RichardC]

Nevada Bob's in Broadgate/Liverpool St is now an American Golf too.

Nevada Bob's at the A1 in Borehamwood and at Barnet Copthorne are also now AG.
