Site Review of PG Golf Equipment

Today is Sunday, so I decided to go off topic a little bit, and do a site review of an online golf equipment store, named Planet Golf. I hope a few of you get enough free time spending a relaxing afternoon golfing. These days, I just like to do a quick par 3 course, and be done with it. I get out, I have fun, and I don’t spend the entire day doing it.

When landing on the home page, I first saw their introduction message of “Golf Equipment – Clothing Shoes Junior & Ladies”. Well, being a large forty year old man, I wasn’t sure if this is the right site for me, but a quick glance through their category list took care of that. Really, only two of their twenty plus categories catered to the juniors or ladies. Clubs, woods, golf carts, and pretty much anything you could think of in regards to golf equipment, was found on the site. The site was well laid out navigation wise, so it was easy to find your products quickly. The shopping cart was easy to use, and when you add those two together, shopping online is a snap. They also have gift certificates.

The site did surprise me a little though, because I was expecting a little larger inventory. They had many different types of products, but the listing for each item or brand seemed a little light. When I came across their Golf Shop’s Featured Product list I saw a Taylor bag I liked. Figuring they sold Taylor clubs as well, I found none. They did have some Taylor woods though.

Overall, I would say “Were ready for your order”, just don’t expect the site to be as flashy looking as eBay.

    We can’t blame the golf club manufacturers for targeting their most profitable market of right-handed golfers, but it is quite difficult for those golfers who play left handed to find the selection offered to the mainstream players.
