It was on my daily commute. He moved a little over a month ago I think. Hopefully wherever he moved to has more room and better parking. Fronting that road and only opening in the afternoon, part of that time the road turns into a clearway can't have made it easy to get the punters in.

Bought one of the White Damascus #9s he had up on eBay last night (couldn't resist with the 18% off).
I figured that it'd probably be shipped this arvo or perhaps Mon morning given that it appears that the shop's only open arvos on weekdays, but got a notification that it was on its way this morning and it was delivered just before 4pm this arvo.
Very very pleased!

Went there today.
New setup is a lot better to manoeuvre and view stuff.
Not sure who I spoke to but was very hard to deal with...
Prices are way OTT for 2nd hand gear, a fair bit of which is in ave condition....
Won’t be going out of my way to go there again unless I’m in the area.....

The guy who owns the shop, Kong, is a nice guy and he has always looked after me.
His gear is real world priced, not Ozgolf priced Loz. If you take your time there, you can find some really good stuff there but it's not for everyone. I know a guy who got a great old carbon steel Scotty there for what I thought was a pretty good price and he paid full whack for it online. If he'd gone into the shop, he would've probably done better on price. It was sent to him and he got it the next day. Can't argue with that.
He must be doing something right, he's getting bigger all the time and getting more and more stock. He definitely has a market and a good one too.

Not sure I agree totally...I think he’s aiming at the Asian market, I’m not trying to be funny. I was the only guy there, I took my time but he wasn’t very helpful and the trade price was ****ed!I think Gerry at Balmain golf even though his place is a shambles is far better to deal with!

Fair enough. I agree his shop isn't for everyone. I don't think he's just aiming at Asian customers but the majority of his in store business probably is because most of his stock, if not all, comes straight out if Japan. But the biggest percentage of his business is online I think so he sends gear all over the world. Putters especially.

I agree his trade in prices are terrible as I just don’t think he wants them.
Gerry’s great for swapping and trading but high risk when you get the item and pull it apart and find extenders and rubbish things people do and unload in there.
