I walked into Bay Golf Exchange fully prepared to confirm my long-standing belief that golf is the…read moreabsolute worst. For context: I hate mini-golf. Hate. Five lifetime attempts, five exits thinking, "If this is golf, burn it all down." Topgolf? Even better--nothing like slamming a club into the ground, rattling your entire skeleton, and wondering if you're about to yeet yourself off a balcony mid-swing. Hard pass. I'm a motorcycle-riding, scuba-diving, ripped-jeans, tattooed "this seems like a bad idea, let's do it anyway" kind of person. Plaid pants and polite clapping? Could not be me. Golf people? I had my doubts. But I made a deal with a friend: they'd ride motorcycles with me if I tried golf with them. They're now on a bike. So here I am, betraying my entire personality. Enter Matt. Before I even showed up, his messages were funny, patient, and--annoyingly--welcoming. So I went in, fully expecting to hate every second of it. Three hours later... I'm out here questioning my life choices. This man didn't just sell me clubs. He basically performed an intervention. He taught me how to hold a club (turns out I was doing... whatever chaos that was before), explained why Topgolf wrecked my shoulder, and somehow made sense of why mini-golf made me irrationally angry. Then he had me swing different clubs until we found ones that actually felt right--which, again, was new information to me. And just when I thought we were done, he starts adjusting everything. Cutting clubs down. Fixing my stance. Watching me swing. Adjusting again. Demonstrating. Repeating. Encouraging. Over and over until I went from "this is stupid" to "wait... I want to try that again." And here's the thing that stuck with me--his passion is clearly not in retail. After all, he asked me what my budget was in the beginning and stayed right in my paltry budget. His passion is in getting people to feel this sport. You can tell he genuinely wants you to catch whatever this is so you'll just... go. play. Not buy more stuff. Not overthink it. Just go be out there hitting a ball around and somehow enjoying it. I left with clubs that actually fit me, a swing that doesn't feel like I'm dislocating something, a bag, balls, tees and--this is the worst part--I'm excited to go back. It's taken me way too long to write this review because I've been busy turning into the exact person I used to make fun of. If you need me, I'll be at the driving range, voluntarily, like some kind of addict. Matt is the real deal. If you think you hate golf, if you just need a good person to explain it all- who won't make you feel like you don't belong, congratulations (!) you're exactly the person who should go see him. I'll never buy golf equipment from anyone else.

I recently visited Ken's Quality Golf and was very impressed with the service I received and the…read morequality of everything I purchased. I had needed a set of golf clubs but didn't want to pay the price of the name brand or sporting goods stores. A friend recommended Ken's Golf and I am so glad they did. I bought a great set of clubs that were almost identical to the Callaways I had seen online. Ken made sure the sizing was correct and even recommended specific grips that more properly fit my hands. He told me he could put the new grips on in a couple of days, which he did after I purchased the clubs. Ken has a practice area right in the store where I could swing my new clubs and get a feel for how great they would be on the course. I also ended up purchasing a gently used golf bag and pull cart for a fraction of the price of what they were new. I'm looking forward to using all of my new golf equipment and taking some strokes off of my game. Thanks Ken ! - so glad I found your shop.

Something about giving a second life to a preloved item just feels so right. Play It Again Sports is a Mecca of preloved sporting gear/toys. My most cherished possession from Play It Again is my rollerblades. I use these blades almost daily. I like to think at some point they belonged to a 10 year old boy named Tommy. I'm really hopeful that Tommy got some fun mems with them, and even more than that I am grateful that Tommy's mom relinquished them to Play It Again at some point. The staff are super friendly and helpful. I like to call the store to inquire whether they have what I'm looking for and they are always so diligent and communicate so clearly and in great detail what it is they have that might meet my request. They are keen to sports, meaning they actually have a lot of knowledge that would be helpful if you have questions about gear specifics. The best part of shopping second hand (unless you're like me and genuinely believe in the sustainability factor) is obviously the deal. The prices cannot be beat..seriously. The blades I previously mentioned would have cost at least $45.00 from a box store or Amazon AND I would have had to wait up to a week to get them, because believe it or not rollerblades are not kept on shelves regularly. At Play It Again I spent $25 for 2 pairs of rollerblades, 1 kids size (Tommy's) and 1 regular adult women's size (I believe they probably belonged to a Meredith). Both blades got some serious sanitization and the bearings got a little cleaning and some lubricant, after that they were ready to roll. I cannot recommend this store enough. Especially if you're looking for something super specific and in a time crunch.

I found the gun department staffed with EXPERIENCED and attentive employees who participate in shooting activities like I enjoy and were able to offer a discount that made a good deal even better. I feel that if you exhibit the safety habits that make everyone on both sides of the counter feel comfortable and show employees that you would not be a danger to yourself or others you will find employees who are happy to serve and even train you depending on your experience level. Don't expect the same happy response from that employee if you show disrespect for gun safety or have nefarious ownership reasons because those employees protect my rights to legal ownership and the stores best interests which I rely on and keeps me coming back when ever the need dictates.

As an avid adventurer of the western US, I tend to visit outdoor stores wherever I travel to see what their idea of adventure is there and take the chance to upgrade gear that's frustrating to use or worn out over time. I've visited Bill Jackson's on two separate occasions now, heading in each time with about $500 worth of gear in mind to shop for. The first time I came, I got great help from multiple associates and planned to purchase gear off of their advise, but witnessed a confrontation between management and an associate that I recall as mild but disruptive enough it made me leave the store without buying anything. I didn't come back for about 8 months. Now I'm back in town for a few weeks of work before heading on a 2,700 mile bikepacking journey and really needed to grab a few items I hoped they'd have in stock. Being interesting in all outdoor activities, I started talking with an associate about the ski shop they were building the last time I was here. He keyed in that I had ski knowledge from my time tuning skis and custom fitting ski boots out west and started talking to me about part time work as they expected to need some extra hands with ski knowledge and took me to show me their ski selection. To get there, we had to walk through an area that he explained was sectioned off for an upcoming sale, so not yet available, but the necessary route to the still-open ski shop. He made a pretty good case for their ski shop and my wheels were turning about coming to help them out in the fall. On our way back through the sale area, I asked a question about the items we were walking past and the associate was very clear that those items were not available for sale until the official sale start date, but took the opportunity to educate me about them(I knew very little about diving equipment but am curious to learn). I was quickly convinced that a decent snorkeling kit was necessary equipment to enjoy the area and decided I'd get a setup. Before he got a chance to redirect me to where the currently available snorkeling gear was(I could tell it was coming, this area was also tiny compared to the sale area), an angry manager/owner appeared ready to tear apart the kind and helpful associate that had just taught me what I needed to know to spend an extra couple hundred dollars on top of the items I was already planning. I hurriedly left the area while she continued to holler at me and once I passed the threshold of that room I heard her resume berating the associate in anger. I walked myself over to the full price scuba stuff and found another helpful associate, but I could not bring myself to buy anything from this store after that experience. It was not unreasonable for her to ask us to move along since we had stopped in a place we were meant to pass through, but she was incredibly rude to the associate for going above and beyond to take care of an enthusiastic customer. I won't spend money here, that manager is the most unkind person I've encountered since I've been in Tampa. In a town of incredibly kind people, there is no place for that. Very sad, I really wanted to like this store. The associates seem to be knowledgeable and passionate about the outdoors, but they don't deserve to be treated that way.
