How about a try-before-you-buy area attached to the pro shop.
It could go something like this:-
·
You like the look of new gear
·
Select tbyb option in pro shop
·
Try equipment on single hole
·
Like it – buy or rent
·
Don’t like it – look for something else
This may increase sales because people would have the opportunity
to try several different items before settling on new purchase. Renting and
then discarding four or five new drivers until you find one you like is not an
option for many.
