garyt1957 Does anybody buy anything from a golf course pro shop?
At the course I was a member at we always got 20% off merchandise. And at the annual Christmas party they'd have a huge sale for members.
They had the club logo shirts you couldn't get anywhere else. In the 10 years I was a member I only bought maybe 3 clubs and they were Pings so there was no discount. Mostly bought hats, gloves, shirts etc..
Many times if they had a tournament of some kind instead of cash you won pro shop credits which you could use on anything except cart fees.
