Yeah, I suppose it varies based on personal experience. I think differentiating between the hardcore golfer and the casual golfer is important.
Personally, I just don't see a lot of young people buying clubs in stores - whether it's a retailer, a pro shop, or wherever. It brings the Amazon/Ebay discussion to the forefront as well.
I do think golf is a broad game (young and old play), but to me is seems like the older crowd is more all-consuming (buying products, playing with more regularity, watching on TV).

As said throughout the thread, I don't think that your regular players are buying equipment every year, especially your better golfers. Another major issue with buying at Dick's is how you try the club. Nobody should want to hit off a mat into a screen. Especially when the screen is telling you that you are hitting 30+yards further than normal. Most of the guys I know go to a high end range to try the product at their golf shop. Then they go buy them online for less with the correct fit.
