anything and everything golf!

I went to buy a Golf GPS unit for my husband's birthday. I had done a little research on the internet, but they did not have the model I was looking for. It took forever to find someone to help me, and when I did the employee consistently tried to push me toward a more expensive model than I was looking for. I asked about the cheapest model they sell (which I had read was actually pretty good) and he simply said "no one really buys that", no explanation of why, or what made it not a good choice. I finally made my choice to go with the cheaper of two models I was looking at on the basis that if my husband wanted to be able to store 20 golf courses instead of just 10 (about the only difference between the two models, and not worth the $60 if you ask me) we could come back and get him the better one. I told the employee I had made my choice, but he did not go get the model for me, he instead again explained to me why storing 20 courses is better. I told him I didn't think my husband needed that, so he went and got another employee that came to me and explained that the more expensive model was better because it stored 20 courses and was smaller. When I finally agreed on the more expensive one the employee went and got the GPS unit for me right away, unlike before when I had decided on the cheaper one. When I got home I looked up Golfsmith to find out if their employees work commission, and they do.



Overall, the store is nice, great prices (cheaper than other stores I had searched) and they have a price guarantee but beware of the opinions of the employees!!! They work commission and apparently will not let you leave unless you have chosen what they want you to choose!
