The Golfworks - SOLD!!!
Golfworks has been sold to Golf Galaxy. According to the report, this includes the Ontario branch here on Industrial, Avenue. Golf Galaxy is the American equivalent of Golftown.
It will be interesting to see what the implications are. Probably nothing, as I believe GT and GG are independent of each other.

Yeah . One big implication. Who is GT's main provider for parts?

Are they really independent of each other? This smells of the Best Buy Future Shop deal. I still have not figured out how it makes sense for one company to have 2 stores directly eside each other. Although it is funny that they dont always have the same price but will beat each other if you bring it up.

I've been in the Golf Galaxy store in Louisville, KY and while similar to Golftown, you can really only have one format for big box golf stores, Golf Galaxy had a huge collection of used clubs available, all nicely displayed in their own section. That's something that I haven't seen offered at Golftown, yet.

My understanding is that GT was getting all their parts from a known supplier i.e not direct. Ever wondered why some parts were in but on hold?Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Don't know if this has anything to do with their sale to GG, but GW is clearing out a bunch of their heads. Check it out if anyone is looking for some new clubs.

People at Golfworks in Ottawa told me they do a lot of business with Golf Town. Good for them, but nothing is lost and nothing is created, things are just transformed. What they sell to Golf Town are components they won't be selling to clubmakers.

As it costs me $10 in gas to drive to GW, and only a few bucks more to get shipped from GS, maybe it's time to look elsewhere as GS almost always has what you want in stock.

I have not noticed. However I believe they have(or used to) the price matching policy. So if that is a concern bring it up to them. Look at what I got yesterday.
