HEY GUY'S HELP SEND DRUMMOND GOLF A MESSAGE BY BOYCOTTING THERE STORES...:mrgreen:

GO TO GOLF MATTERS AND MY BLOG

[Lagerlover]

Sorry pal, I think the bloke that runs the Gabba store is the most helpful guy you could meet. Don't really understand your gripe, don't really care too much either.

[MegaWatty]

I know a local franchisee and wish him all the best. Just a normal bloke with a family, trying to make a decent buck.

[markTHEblake]

I admire your passion but it is a big call to ask everyone to trust you on that. You may well be a raving lunatic.

By all means tell everyone your story. If others experience the same then others will either think that maybe you were right or that there are more than one raving lunatic about the place.

[MegaWatty]

How many threads do you want on this? Are you willing to take on the legal action, should they decide that your posts are defamatory?

[Cosmopolite]

I get very good service at the Drummond I go to. I dont think you can tar them all with the same brush.

[Rebel21]

i have to agree with the BAD reputation of Drummonds. I live nearer the Cheltenham store but never liked the staff there. I always drove the extra few k's to go to Carnegie. The staff there were always much better. More friendly and the club repairs were always done exactly how i wanted.
I am NOT happy to hear that the staff are not there anymore. I have not been in since the change of ownership but i dont think i will bother. It was always not the greatest stocked store, but the staff were always happy to order in what i wanted. I am more interested in the relationships built over time with golf store people. The guys there i trusted. Looks like i won't be going back.

Any thoughts on a better shop somewhere?

You just joined to let us know? Welcome!

[Hawkers2008]

Can't you just go to another Drummond store, sure its a pain but it sounds like it will piss you off less than going to Carnegie.

You haven't been back since new owners, how do you know the place isn't worth visiting... Haven't noticed any other posts from you guys before, this kind of smells a bit funny to me!!

[Rebel21]

The other Drummond stores are too far away from me. My point was that the staff there i had trust in. If there are new people there, then i have no reason to go back there. It's hard to find somebody that does really good club repairs. The guys there did.
I have tried the locals and been unhappy with the results.

[PeteyD]

So why say anything if you have not been there to find out?

[rubin]

How many threads do you want on this? Are you willing to take on the legal action, should they decide that your posts are defamatory?

What he said ^^^

1 store does not shit company make. The guys in my local drummond are good blokes - not necessarily the most knowledgeable, but willing to admit what they do or dont know as well. Always happy to help.

two new posters - both whingeing about exactly the same thing! could it be.... coincidence ;)

[Dazza]

I certainly won't be boycotting just because someone else has the shits.
Kev at Drummond Townsville is great to deal with, and a top bloke to match.

[Dazza]

I once had a crap experience at a golf course. Quick, let's boycott all golf courses.

[Rocketman]

you always remember where you get bad service....

[rubin]

can i just ask - whats with the smiling emoticon in the title? Doesnt really go with what your saying.

What happened may help? Just saying you got bad service? You may have gone in on a day when everyone had the flu or something.

[Goldy]

Gotta say Rocketman - your original post makes it sound like these guys sodomised your dog.

What exactly did they do to make you THIS upset?

PS If they did sodomise your dog, then I fully understand the depth of feeling you have expressed.

[MegaWatty]

Woof. :)

[Sydney Hacker]

Was this the ACT Drummond?

[rubin]

Woof. :)

Is that Yoss again?

[Lagerlover]

I'm thinking disgruntled employees here... careful, you know what they do in america...US postal service types

[Ned]

A "Sleeper" from that "Other Forum" ?

[Webster]

Ive been in this Drummonds. Not the best.

[3oneday]

What does Drummond sell ?

[Ned]

What does Drummond sell ?


Rejected fake ebay auctions ?

[Dotty]

Drummonds in other cities = good. Drummonds in Melbourne = bad.

I think I've found the cause of the bad service.

[Bruce]

Jacko runs the one in Hoppers Crossing pretty well. The city one is reasonable for a sneaky look or consumables purchase.

[PerryGroves]

What would anyone buy at a Drummond that they couldn't get here, online or if small at your own pro shop?

No idea how much a decent franchisee makes but I wouldn't be signing up for one, looks too hard for me. Plus I have no love for the GP.

[Hawkers2008]

Jacko's good, can't say I am a fan of Milvo though. I knew him before though he used to work for Peter Kholsdorf (Canberra Pete's Golf) in the 90s, I can't say I am fan of Pete either.

I don't mind get my consumables or small stuff for gifts when they have their 20% off sales.

[Yossarian]

Is that Yoss again?

What?

[Collis]

Do you have any ideas where to go instead of drummond?
Never had a problem with drummond, usually helpful & try hard.
Maybe Rocketmans wife has boycotted the bedroom hence he is a little upset at this time. She may even be down at that drummond a little to much?

[Webster]

Just go to the House of Golf in High Street Malvern instead. The guys there are terrific.

[markTHEblake]

.

ozgolf is a miniscule demographic, not everyone buys online, and lots of golfers are not members of a golf club.

[matty]

Just browsing this thread. Anyone else think Rocketman and Rebel1 are one and the same? :-k

[Lagerlover]

Either that Matty, or they got sacked from the place the same day.

[Goldy]

You've still gotta feel for his dog.

[rubin]

You've still gotta feel his dog.

U dodgy bastard. ;)

[Goldy]

It's the NRL player within, trying to escape.

RE: Hoppers Crossing Drummond Golf

I am been faithful and loyal customer for 10 years and probably would have spent Thousands of$$$ and also use to recommend my Golf Community over the years but I have been cheated by Drummond Golf Hoppers.

I request a 33 inch putter cut it to 32 Inch, paid in advance and waited for 4 days to arrive, they sold me a 35 Inch used putter cut it to 33 inch. Yes it was probably, they never put an order in first place and delivery must be late so they decided to cut 35 inch.

So I went to shop and I was denied a refund. Simply they don’t want to accept that fact that it was 35 inch putter been sold. You can clearly see the stickers on Shaft that how much it is been cut down and how long it was in first place.

That's right Rocketman, guess what your Blog is veiwed by Thousands.. as I googled "Drummond Golf Bad service" and your blog popped! :smile: I share the same veiws and many of us too.. you are not alone!!never Go to Hoppers Crossing Drummond GOLF in Victoria ... you will never get what you have paid.... staff are lazy,unprofessional and rude! Next purchase support your Proshops, try them and give Drummond Golf price, I bet they will beat them easily!!!!.. it makes logic as they are the one who are on the course and easy to reach. You have lost me Drummond Golf... I am been loyal for years!!!!!!!!

[Shortylook]

I know it's the other side of Australia, but it seems most golf shops in WA whether its drummond or golf box are great per sale and then Very average post sale. I've had this from both franchises, the most recent from golfbox Bunbury. But I need golf stuff so I guess I'm stuck. What are you going to do

I agree with these fine gentlemen, who have been major contributors to the Ozgolf community and definitely have no hidden agendas. I was on the Drummond website the other day comparing prices of stuff to ebay, and not one member of their staff Australia wide emailed me to see how I was doing or to offer any assistance!!!

I say we should not only join in this boycott and become members of other forums around the world to spread the word!!!

Peace OUT!!!

[Shortylook]

Yea mizuno did give me the run around, but golfbox were like, so what do you want me to do, I guess I could contact mizuno, I'm not sure what will happen with them. I think they were shitty because I contacted them myself, I was freaking out about my clubs and I told them that, got a grunt back on the other end of the phone.

Went to drummond's to get some new stuff for Monday's game of flog, couldn't get a look in, so I went to the other shop in town. Meh I still got what I wanted in the end I guess. Jesus I'm turning into a bit of a sook :roll:
