  • Uncle Ross

    Used to have a funny little place in Waterdown. Think he just moved -- probably to another funny little place. I see his promoted ads on Kijiji. I don't believe he sells himself here but know he has someone do deals for him.

    Had a less than satisfactory experience the one and only time I darkened his door and have heard similar things from at least two other TGNers. Have heard one of his tricks is to pitch a high trade value via email/phone and then blithely rescind it when you walk in the door.

    Anyone with experiences they'd like to share? (There should be at least one positive review from his partner/fanboy.)

    I've dealt with him once. I sold a few clubs to him, nothing fancy, smooth transaction.

    I did take note of his odd hours and small location. Didn't get a great vibe while I was there, lots of older clubs, and very tightly packed.

      I've had three deals with him and have nothing negative to report. His prices are fair and firm.

        He picked up a bunch of his Ping stuff off of Sportsyard. Why pay a middle man when you can go directly to sportsyard.

        Prices seem pretty high every time I venture in there.

          If he’s the same guy that bought at least 30 clubs at the Golf Lounge in the spring then he is a bit of a d**k. I chatted with him at the bar before the crowds came in. He had a driver in his hand. Simply to pass the time I asked why he was returning it. He looked at me after taking a sip of beer and said "What’s it to you".

              He has moved to a little shared building on mill st, south of dundas.. kinda south/behind of the american house. Saw he moved his sign the other day.

              I went in once to have him reshaft a club.. he was honest and open claimed he didnt have the tools and I would be better to go direct to where he was going to send it out.

              never bought anything though

                sounds like the same guy. He was the one who picked up a bunch of clubs prior to the opening and caused the uproar for a presale.

                      not clear on what you are saying.
                      Did he try to horn in and flog those 30 clubs prior to the advertised sale Sportsyard was holding at the golf lounge?' If so, he's a douche.

                        He went in to the store and picked up 30 or so clubs while everyone else was waiting outside. There is a prior thread on this but cant seem to find it.

                          got it now.
                          ndrpar post of him meeting Uncle at the bar returning the driver took place after the "pre-sale" debacle. It had me thinking it took place prior to the opening.

                            I dealt with him once, with a little negotiation he cut me a deal on a trade, was a good experience. He prefers premium brands like Ping, Titleist, Mizuno. Don't expect to get much value for Wilson, Nike, Adams.

                              Bought 2 high end Ping putters and 2 SM5 wedges at a good price. Didn't experience any problems. Will go back again when I need a driver.
