    Question Is it Real?

    Im really new to this whole "golf" thing and in my haste i spent 400 bucks on some gear from Lind golf on the weekend. I didnt want to buy high end gear cause its not really worth it for a begginer, and i didnt want to by a chinese knock off due to warranty fears and dodgy construction.

    after i paid for my clubs i found OZgolf.net and i noticed some of you members hating on Lind golf saying they were a bad investment and suggested buying from your online proshop. i wish i did that.... dammit, next time!

    anyways i wanted to ask a question: how do you know if one of your members trys to sell a cheap chinese counterfiet in your proshop? is there any protection, or is this a honor system?

    There's a whole thread on honour in the proshop, it's a good place to start. Welcome.

    Its the Ozgolf web of trust. Almost Everybody here is personally known by someone else here, not just Internet freinds. People might be tempted to scam complete strangers on the Internet but for us, we all know where we live, work and play. We are a community first, golf shop second.

    Not many of us would be tempted to buy anything from someone brand new to the forum who seem to join just for the purpose of selling, such people come along from time to time, if they are not prepared to become a member of our community they are usually ignored, and often ostracised.

    Its amazing how people here know you, sometimes even when you don't know them. People are here because they love golf. The pro shop has been very kind to me, its a great resource.

    As for buying Lind, I wouldn't let investuing $400 in their stuff bother you. Your just getting started, if you stay interested you can always upgrade. Who knows in time you might even discover your inner ho.

    I'd suggest you don't try and sell any high end gear cheaply on here for a while... Try ISG to hock it off

    You know I'm only kidding Blakey.

    You captured the essence of Ozgolf with your post! Something I couldn't do if I tried.

    i just added the 'Pull the piss out' factor.

    regards,
