Pros
Learning the technical side of the game. Becoming more confident in products and sharing knowledge with the customers. The discount is nice because golf is an expensive hobby/lifestyle/profession.
Cons
Golf is not considered an important department by DSG. Golf is highly detailed and precise when it comes to equipment. Customers rely on DSG’s employees to be knowledgeable as well as personally invested with great experience, especially when it comes to golfers. Golf is no longer a protected department and for some reason DSG thinks they can just “train” other employees to provide adequate service to golf customers. I would not want to buy anything from someone that doesn’t play the game and received their gold experience from a book. It’s a slap in the face to those of us who take our job seriously and love the game of golf.
