Sorry to see that Golfsmith's at Penn and Memorial is closing. That space was previously occupied by Ultimate Electronics. A lot of space to be vacant, so hopefully someone will pick it up soon.

Golfsmith filed bankruptcy over the summer. They are closing all but 30 stores nationwide.

I believe they were purchased out of bankruptcy by Dick's Sporting Goods who is becoming a real player in the golf industry.

I received an email this morning letting me know that Dick's had purchased all of their customers data. Don't know that the Dick's purchase goes beyond that.

Dicks also owns Golf Galaxy, which has always been my preference when purchasing product from the "chain" golf stores.
