I spent parts of two days last winter working with Natalie at the TPC of Tampa Bay. I had hoped to…read morefix some bad habits and fine tune my swing as I approached my 70th birthday as a 10 handicap hacker. She changed my grip, my stance, my head position, my alignment and my putting approach. By the second day, I wasn't sure all the changes were worth it but I stuck with them and eventually the strange sensations became a comfortable routine. Bottom line: I shot my age last month. Thank you, Natalie!

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing that depresses you about playing golf down in…read moreTampa is the sheer amount of phony Florida golfers that are v anity handicaps the second is the sunshine sticking to everything like warm glue and beating down on you constantly for ten months. Back home in New York, when I hit a pure 2-iron off the deck, the cold air bites your face a few months out of the year and lets you know you're alive, but out here at Heritage Isles Golf & Country Club, you're just sweating through your shirt before you even tee off. ​It kills me, it really does. I carried an 8.7 handicap at the time, not that I like bragging about it, because as soon as you start getting good at something, if you aren't careful, you start showing off, and then you aren't good mentally anymore, yiu can become a jerk, so I figured I'd try to tear this place apart from the back Gold tees at nearly seven thousand yards. But Florida golf is a different playing experience from the northeast. Half the course is built right over some swampy wetlands, and every single hole has water sitting on it, waiting to swallow up a perfectly struck draw that a little unnoticed invisible wind gust just ate. Water holes are like a godly must here, every hole has some and its depressing and weird. You hit a tight, beautiful shot right down the fairway, and suddenly it hops off this sticky Bermuda grass and disappears into a ditch where an alligator is probably sitting around pretending to be sleeping, but ready to go full on prehistoric if you get too close. ​The par-3s are long as hell, too. You get up to sixteen, playing almost two hundred and thirty yards over water and swamp, and all these old guys in pastel polo shirts are standing by their carts giving each other advice. It's phony as a three-dollar bill. Here's my advice for them "stop talking so much, just grip it 'n rip it". They've got these wooden footbridges everywhere connecting the fairways over the marshes, and you rumble your cart across and over them feeling like you're on some staged safari tour watching bad golf, instead of playing a serious round. ​I ended up shooting a seventy seven, which made me feel pretty depressed because I missed a six-footer for birdie on eighteen after cutting the dogleg over the lake. The green was fast and smooth enough, I'll give them that, but the whole setup just makes me miss northern turf. If you're a low handicap stuck in Tampa, it'll test your short game and keep you honest, but the endless palm trees and country-club phoniness will make you want to call up somebody and go grab a drink instead.

Brought a club in for repair. Employee told me all my clubs would start breaking soon and steered…read moreme towards some new (used) clubs. Paid $600 for almost new set of high end irons. Tried to bring them back 10 days later and was told I missed the 7 day cut off by 3 days. (Wasn't aware that I only had 7 days). Was told that the clubs now are worth only $250 trade in value towards store credit. Seriously! Only worth $250 when they bragged about how good the clubs were the week prior. Shame on me for not seeing the tiny return policy sign but they were dismissive of me and did nothing to work with me. It felt like a used car experience. Not what I expected from a well known national chain. Will never step foot in their store again and will tell this story to all of my golf buddies and members at my club.

Buying a Scotty is an investment and the lack of help I received was more than disappointing. I went to Golf Galaxy, met Justin, told him what was happening, and he immediately began helping me. Within 20 minutes my whole experience changed. Justin was more than helpful. If it wasn't for him, I would've gotten the wrong putter. Not a single complaint. If you're looking to get any sort of club, I highly recommend going to see Justin at this store.
