Have you been to one of the PGA Tour’s Superstores yet? It’s like walking into a Home Depot, except with golf clubs instead of plywood.

No surprise there, since the stores are owned by the same people who brought us Home Depot.

Their motto is “This is big,” and for once, that’s not hype. I went to the one in Atlanta, and I traveled through two zip codes, starting with shoes and ending with a real bunker with real sand.

In between, there was pretty much everything and anything to do with golf for sale. Oh yeah, and tennis.

They have six simulators. Businessmen go there for lunch and hit golf balls. Crowds gather on weekends. They can custom fit your clubs, repair your old ones, re-grip them, analyze your swing and /or your thoughts.

There are eight superstores right now, in Dallas, Atlanta and Myrtle Beach, with plans to expand further. If you haven’t been to one of these, check one out if you get the chance. Bring a lumber cart.
