One of my hobbies is visiting golf stores. I very seldom buy anything, but I love to look, try new clubs, and see all the products that will supposedly make me a scratch golfer. So once every couple of weeks, I visit all the golf stores in the area.\n\nI had heard of Golfsmith through national advertising, but had never been to the local store. So I added Golfsmith to my rotation. They are located in a shopping center in North Scottsdale, in a nondescript location next to Staples. They are hard to find, and not really convenient, but they do have a well stocked store.\n \nAlthough they do not have the volume of the PGA Superstore, they have the same selections (just in smaller quantity) and can order any custom club you want. They also have a swing area, several pros on staff, and club repair. Their apparel selection is average, but tasteful.\n\nOne of the advantages of Golfsmith is that they stock Titleist products, which the PGA Superstore does not (they are in a contract dispute with Acushnet). \n\nThe staff at Golfsmith, for the most part, are very friendly, and helpful. They will answer your questions, but are not pushy or over selling, and will simply let you browse without bothering you.\n\nThis is definitely a nice option for killing time looking at or talking about golf.
