Do you purchase clothing, shirts/shorts/pants from your course proshop? Why or Why Not? Price? Selection? etc...?

[AM92318]

Just hats! Maybe souvenir t-shirts for friends and family. Just don't like the selection, maybe when they start selling Lacoste or Burberry.

[mbowker64]

Only at the end of the season. 50% off or more then.

[morganj]

if there is something that i really want, sure. why not.

[DaveyH]

i work ina pro shop so i get things free if not major discount which helps on the william hunt gear i wear.
£120 pairs of pants!!

[imsocrabby]

only caps.

i hate those course logo's that get plastered all over the shirt.

[arrowcreek900]

i get them from my course because we get 20% off for members.

[Bill3508]

Hats sometimes, but no other apparrel. Most course shops prices are outrageous.

Shirts from any nice club that we get invited to play!

I buy golf clothing exclusively at courses. I am a big fairway greene fan. I also find it funny that a club logo would bother someone because I would much rather have a club logo than a company logo. if Nike isn't paying me I am not going to advertise for them.

Hats at a course I like, for sure. But the clothing is hard to find in smaller sizes... not everyone is a porker.

[cdesana]

I try and get a shirt from the better courses.

[dpriester]

We get a 35% discount which makes it cheaper than any of the large golf or dept store chains. I refuse to wear company logos but a club logo is a good conversation starter when you are visiting another area of the country.

I buy hats from the pro shops..just bought one yesterday. Anyways I don't buy the clothing..not because I don't want to support my course and I'd much rather wear that then a company logo but the stuff is just to expensive for me to buy.

[FreakinA]

Not only is course clothing overpriced when compared to normal high end golf stuff, Its also stocked in sizes only big enough to double as a boat sail. At my courses I can't find a small and would be hard pressed to even get a medium.

[dpriester]

Besides the discount we get, one of the great advantages we have in buying clothes from our pro shop is that we can place special orders for sizes and/or colors that aren't in stock if we want to. The turn around time is pretty quick.

[mljones99]

I work in the fashion industry and have several connections to get stuff on the cheap. only time I have bought apparel in pro shop was at Pinehurst.

[nmendez]

i always buy shirts from my club, we get 20% off as well...but we have a $38 rack in the back corner. I always shop on that rack especially when I paid 115 for the shirt and 4 days later it was on the $38 rack err hah.

[Milo]

In China - never. Massively overpriced and often in very poor taste.
But every time I get over the play the Royal Bangkok Sports Club course in Thailand I stock up on their shirts. Great quality, last for many years and masses of choices.
Highly recommended to any of you guys thinking of making a trip over there.

Where are you playing at in Las Vegas, player? We sell both of those out at Southern Highlands!

[DavidR]

I never do. I try to get all my shirts at the end of the season sales.

[phil75070]

Once in a while. I am not into the really high end shirts that are typically carried, but I will buy 2 or 3 shirts per year and a hat here and there. Most of my shirts I get off eBay. There is some stuff you can't find elsewhere like the "tour logo" stuff (Ashworth, Callaway and Ping). There are great deals to be found there as well.

[FreakinA]

I figuire, if I want to pay alot for a shirt, I may as well make it a JL one.

[zojo]

I like getting shirts with random clubs or company logos I've never even heard of on them. makes me feel like ive played alot of courses when in reality, i got it at goodwill or something like that.

Oh come on, zojo. We all know you meant to say 'skirts' not shirts.

And I only buy clothes at the Pro Shop if I win a gift certificate in a tournament for the Pro Shop.
