Overview
Golf Etc.® of America, Inc. was founded in 1992 with the dream and
objective of becoming an international golf consulting and construction
company. The strategy changed to that of franchising comprehensive golf
retail shops in 1996.
Golf Etc.® of America currently has 65 operating franchises within the continental United States, Puerta Rico and Hawaii. We are opening an average of 14 new stores per year.
The reason for the unprecedented growth is simple. Our strategy is working; business owners are creating value in their local and regional markets. The Golf Etc.® strategy is new and unique. Our owners are capitalizing on the growth in technology, with emphasis on personal service, and consultation. The revenue is divided strategically between three separate profit centers, which compliment each other and when combined, create better margins and greater success.

golf products including both pro-line and custom-made golf clubs, golf
bags, golf footwear, golf related giftware, men's and ladies golf
apparel, golf gloves, golf balls, junior clubs, golf accessories and

to repair and maintain customer clubs. We have negotiated agreements
with several national suppliers and developed strategic relationships.
This means that you have advantageous buying opportunities in
selection, service, & price.
Training & Support
Golf Etc.® offers its franchise owners an extensive custom designed
training program. Our intense training program instructs our newest
franchises on the operational and technical aspects of the business for
one week. The operational segment of our training program will provide
instruction on such topics as operations, inventory control, and
merchandise pricing for retail sales.
Our in-depth technical training will provide information on the correct techniques for repairing woods, irons, club fitting, and club construction. The Vector Launch System takes the guesswork out of club and ball fitting, and is the newest technology in fitting and instruction. Trusted and used daily by golf club and ball manufactures and research and development labs for years, Accusport's Technology in the Vector Launch System measures the exact ball speed, backspin, sidespin, vertical angle and side angle of every shot. The P3Pro Swing Analysis and Simulator is a swing analyzer that also has a range, practice course and a championship course you can play. The P3Pro allows you to precisely measure your swing path, club face angle, and sweet spot and projects it on the hitting screen. It is our intent to equip you with the tools necessary, train you on them and exceed all of your customer's expectations.
Golf Etc.® provides you with a ready-to-air television commercial, and a new commercial periodically. We also provide samples of various radio advertisements, print ads, and a point of sale package. Our competitors charge you a percentage of your store’s gross sales as an advertising fee to go into a central advertising fund. In other words, you pay for other store’s advertising. At Golf Etc.®, you apply these funds to your own advertising in your own market where it benefits you directly. You have the freedom to set your own advertising budget and choose the media in which to advertise for your retail store.
