Saw they will be in the old Blockbuster on Seigen. Anyone know the story? If they have a good store and better service than EW they should do well.

Standalone golf stores in today's world (especially in a terrible golf market in Louisiana) are a terrible investment unless you're able to fulfill a ton of internet orders

I could see that. Not a lot of people are happy with EW, and many who hated them went to Golf Etc. off of Essen where the Manager was a fricking tard.

If this place is managed well, it will do a lot better than people think. Plus, many of the golfers who spend money on the sport are on the Seigan side of town anyway.

The smartest thing he did was find a building closer to CCLA than EW!

Golfsmith is the only way to go. Do they not have any in Louisiana?

I can't see Edwin Watts making it another 5 years. Anywhere. With Dicks Sporting Goods expanding to 550 stores golf galxy expanding and the new look academy with a much better golf shop and Golfsmith expanding watts is just not making money. I know of two stores closing by the summer. Anyone have any info on this capital golf? Just the property itself costing 1.1 mil seems like a huge reach.
