Golf pros, in the main, earn their livelihood through the sales from their shops. In recent years this income has been severely hit first as a result of off course retailing and more recently internet activity – much of which takes cash out of the industry. Result service levels to members in some pro shops have inevitably declined, creating a downward spiral. Pro shops that can’t regain these lost sales face the possibility of losing their pro and all the advantages they brings.
All is not doom and gloom! The internet is a double edge sword enabling forward thinking pros to become involved. Greatvaluegolfs’ pros have embraced it, enabling them to throw off the restraints of shops that are often too small, and offer greater choice. Working together creates better buying power too, which helps them to offer you great prices at the same as reinvesting in their shops and helping to develop the sport.
By buying through Greatvaluegolf.co.uk you are helping to keep more cash in the sport and are enabling our pros to play an active part in ensuring golfers get maximum enjoyment out of their sport.
