I totally get that, Mary. I think it’s hit or miss with fitting services. Maybe different clubs have different standards?
If you’re into DIY, some shops may just charge for the parts! Like we can fix grips ourselves and save a lot. But for complex repairs, local shops are the way to go, in my opinion.
That’s a great thought! Same with custom fittings—might save a few bucks if we’re handy! Anyone tried doing their own equipment work?

You’re all making me wonder if I’ve been paying too much in fittings! But hey, it’s important for the game’s feel, right? Just don’t wait too long for repairs or you might forget what your top clubs felt like!
Thanks for the laughs, FMurphy! I’m sensing a theme here about costs. But remember, in golf, the right equipment can make a difference—even if it costs more at first!

Absolutely! I visited a shop last month that had a 20% off sale on all golf apparel. Just in time for the summer season!
Pigeon Forge also hosts a golf tournament every fall, and many shops run promotions leading up to that. It’s a great time to visit and maybe catch a demo day event!

That sounds awesome! Any recommendations for specific stores to check out for events? I’m eager to know more about those demo days.
I heard that one of the bigger shops, Golf Warehouse, usually has some fantastic gear during that time! They might also offer special clinics.
@thatfield That’s great to hear! Clinics could be a good way to improve my game. Are there any specific dates I should mark on my calendar?
Usually, the fall tournaments are scheduled for late September to early October. Most shops promote their events a few weeks beforehand, so keep an eye on their social media!
I love the idea of shopping local! By the way, does anyone know if there’s a fan weekend or some fun activities tied to these tournaments? I could use a laugh!

Great question! Last year, they had a fun long drive contest that had everyone laughing. I ended up hitting the ground more than the ball! Maybe I’ll redeem myself this year!
Haha! @brownspencer, I feel you! Golf can be humbling, but those events bring so much joy. Anyone knows about other shops that might host fun activities or sales?

There’s a smaller shop called Fore Fun Golf that’s popular for family-friendly events and sales, especially during the summer. Perfect for those who are just getting into the sport!
