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

The EW by my office in Houston just closed within the last 6 months. Within a mile of it there is a Golf Galaxy, Academy, & driving range with a full range of golf equipment.

weave I have seen a few post from you talking about Blaine....I take it y'all don't get along...??

No we don't really like each other...I'd have a few choice words for him if he came here

ETA: completely joking, btw

The Dicks Store near my house has a pro I know who manages it. He gets top line equipment as well as the stock stuff for the average golfer. (i.e., Titty's Vokey, Scotty Camerons, etc)...he also has a mix of top line bags (i.e., pings, Titty's to Maxfli and Top Flight).

He told me what kills EW in town is the lack of accessories...Dicks can offer tees, head covers, hats, clothing, etc in much bigger stock with a much bigger selection...I can tell you, he has half of the upper store of golf equipment, golf shoes, clothing, belts, etc.

I go to stand alone stores and to be honest, I prefer to go to my buddy who is a PGA Teaching Pro and former head pro at my dads club, he fits me, and I get it at a better price at Dicks.
