The answer......

When it's the Direct Golf price match guarantee. :angry:

Adams super DHY hybrids currently £79.99 at clubhouse golf

Same club is £159 at Direct Golf

DG price match guarantee is to match and knock off 10% of the difference

Made the phone call
Won't do the match as it's not a current product and being sold off by clubhousegolf
I explained that it made their stock "not current" aswell but was twice the price.......
Got a ridiculous explanation back and just replied thanks for your time, and that I wouldn't be back anytime soon

Why do these companies make such a big thing of these types of policies but just wriggle out anyway....??
A farce

:rant:
 
I cant stand Direct golf, they have always been terrible as far as im concerned.

Them £20 gift card things they do are the biggest load of crap ive ever seen.
 
Their website does say that it excludes competitors selling off old stock (close out sales). But that seems a bit sneaky, who's to judge what is or isn't a close out sale?

I take it you're just ordering with clubhouse golf anyway?

Yeah and you cant use it on anything with a discounted price (everything according to their site) so they add 25 quid onto current price then take 20 off and you end up worse off!

Absolute Jokers :rofl:
 
The 10% extra is in the form of credit on your direct golf account in any case isn't it? In which case unless you're planning further purchases sometime soon you probably haven't lost out on much.
 
To be fair to Direct Golf I have used their £20 money off voucher given out by GM I believe to purchase my SLDR mini driver. As with the £20 off it was the cheapest on all the web sites. Apart from the dodgy Chinese ones people occasionally ask about on this forum.

To be honest they seem much like any other internet web site to me, some times they are cheaper on some things and some times they are not. Plus I expect any other site doing a price match will have the same T&Cs.

£75 gets free delivery :thup:
 
.... When you ask AG to price match direct golf on some mpt10 wedges and despite being shown a web link and their big price match banner above the till they refuse to match the price " we do not recognise direct golf as an official Mizuno outlet "
 
My advice would be to keep trying. You never know who is going to answer your price match. I tried 3 times to price match my rbladez with golf depots sale and on the 3rd time it worked.
 
With all the trouble people seem to have with price matching I'd just support the cheaper retailer and tell the one refusing to match to say goodbye to my money.
