Golftown grip sale

[ginrin]

With everything going on, is this still going to happen?

[rgk5]

My guess is that it will start aorund Feb. 1st, barring further lockdowns. I have no information either way.

Will probably require an online order with curbside drop-off and curbside pick-up. The way that the pandemic is still raging, I highly doubt that in-store service will be available...yet.
And, if this is the way it will play out, GT had better improve their site considerably to handle any custom requirements (wraps, logo-up/down, etc).

They really need to invest more in their online presence.

Very likely. With the boom in golf because it is one of the few sports that allows social distancing, it will be stupid for GT not to have a grip sale.

I don’t think there is any doubt it’s good business decision, it’s how GT is going to logistically figure out a way do do it safely and correctly should there be any custom requests ie. extra wraps , their online demo sale this year was a total sh*t show

I think the opposite. Although it would be a HUGE PR disaster for them to not have it, you have a completely engaged group with limited options heading into the start of a year where golf will be one of the few outdoor sports they can play.

So like many of the clubs, "It's Gouging Time!!!" could be reasonable to see. Wouldn't surprise me to see it only at like 25%-30% off.

Yep, they have loss revenues to recoup some how.

It hasn't been much more than 30% for a few years now. The old days of 50% off are long gone in grips, although, as much as clubs may have increased in costs over the past 5 years, grips have almost doubled.

Guess I should pay attention more... Been buying from Golfworks more and more to help support them.

Same with me.
Plus, I'm fond of Pure grips and Star grips, they last the longest for me and stay the tackiest. GT only carries one sku of Pure and it's too skinny for me.
With the increase in grip prices these days, I would encourage anyone to check out these two brands, I get 3-4x the lifespan out of them.

Not enough traction for me but, yes, I know many love them. The Pure DTX is my grip of choice these days, all rubber but feels like a corded grip.

40% for the last 2-3 years.

which when I checked last, was about the same price that GolfWorks charges regularly.
