    Whether you're a veteran golfer or someone looking to get into the game, PGA Tour Superstore has…read moreeverything you need (and don't need). This is a big box retailer with multiple locations across the country. We're lucky enough to have three in Georgia, all of which are located in suburbs north of Atlanta, each roughly 30+ minutes from the city. I've been to all three PGA Tour Superstore locations in Georgia: this one in Lawrenceville, Kennesaw (https://www.yelp.com/biz/pga-tour-superstore-kennesaw), and Roswell (https://www.yelp.com/biz/pga-tour-superstore-roswell). I even used to go to the one in Buckhead, now closed (https://www.yelp.com/biz/pga-tour-superstore-atlanta). As this is a chain, all of the stores are very similar. They sell everything from the latest golf equipment and sportswear to swing analysis, lessons, and club repair. These stores are truly one-stop shops for all things golf. If you're a golf enthusiast and it's your first time, you'll feel like a kid in a candy store. This location in Lawrenceville is located just off I-85. If traveling northbound from the city, you'll take exit 105 (SR 120 - Duluth, Lawrenceville). If traveling southbound, you'll take exit 107 (SR 120 to SR 316 east / Boggs Road - Duluth, Lawrenceville). It's close to Sugarloaf Mills (shopping mall) and TPC Sugarloaf (one of the best golf courses in metro Atlanta). Compared to the PGA Tour Superstore locations in Kennesaw and Roswell, I believe this location is the smallest. That's okay though because they still have everything the other locations have including a putting green to try out putters and hitting bays with simulators and shot trackers to demo clubs and do custom club fittings. I had a great experience at this store. I had my entire set regripped at the Kennesaw location. I went out and played a round and noticed the grips on three of my clubs (5-iron, 9-iron, and pitching wedge) weren't installed correctly. The grips weren't fully pushed down the shafts so there was play (bending) at the top of the grips. It was annoying and particularly bad on my pitching wedge. Since I happened to be up in Duluth (near Lawrenceville) at the time, I decided to get the incorrectly-installed grips replaced at this location. I called the Kennesaw location to confirm that I could get these grips replaced at another PGA Tour Superstore location and they confirmed I could. Ideally, I would have taken these grips back to the Kennesaw location so they could see what they did wrong, but it was out of the way for me. I walked into this store, immediately to the club repair counter, and explained what happened. I handed my clubs to the club repair supervisor and he inspected them. As he bent the grip back at the top of my pitching wedge, his eyes widened and he said, "Yep, that's bad." He took a quick look at my receipt from the Kennesaw store and approved his subordinate to regrip my clubs at no cost. He told me it would take about 20 minutes and his estimate was correct. As a walk-in customer on a Sunday morning, my clubs were ready in only 20 minutes and they were regripped properly. I played the following weekend and never hit my 5-iron better. Seriously! (Though also perhaps a coincidence.) While waiting for my clubs to be regripped, I checked out some of the latest Honma and TaylorMade drivers as well as some new putter models. I also looked around in the apparel section and noticed the store carries the latest line of Under Armour golf shorts (Showdown style) which I had been ordering for myself online. I like that they carry current lines with modern fits.

    I should have read the reviews before going to this particular location. This store has a good…read moreinventory and the prices seem reasonable; however, the overall staff experience hasn't been what I had hoped for. My first visit was great. I worked with a really attentive staff member and ended up purchasing my first set of clubs. Subsequent visits however haven't been so good (working with other staff members). I'm a new golfer who doesn't really know my way around the game/equipment yet. The staff generally seems to have a low tolerance for people like me and often display a condescending tone or impatience when it comes to questions or a lack of knowledge.

    So glad I found Energy First Golf. I came in with a lot of poor habits and Lawrence has helped get…read moremy swing in shape. He demonstrates and explains technique in an understandable way and then helps you effectively build it into your routine. The results speak for themselves: my accuracy and distance have noticably improved.

    According to the Official Rules of Retirement, I'm required to take up golf. I'm only semi-retired…read more(whatever that means) but I've been trying to learn the game for the past year or so, with limited success. Despite a fairly decent knowledge of the mechanics and techniques of tennis, I hadn't been able to figure out why my golf swing wasn't producing desired results. So, lessons. After poking around the internet for options, I decided to go with Lawrence Sykkmon, mainly because he's affiliated with the Northcrest Driving range, where I like to practice. His website suggested he'd be a good fit for me as he emphasizes concepts like 'internal mechanics' instead of mechanical swing corrections, and swinging from your core. Lawrence is very easy to learn from - he explains things in a way I understand and can translate to my own swing. How much this will then translate to improved performance on the course is still to be determined. But after only two lessons, I've found I can hit my 3-wood a lot better on the range than I could before. For me, that's the club that has the biggest influence on whether I have a good round or not. And the key indicator that his lessons are translatable to performance is that I now have a better sense of what I did wrong when a swing doesn't produce a nice straight shot. That was lacking before. I have more lessons ahead, and I look forward to them. Reasonable prices and flexible schedule. In terms of sports instruction, this is the best I've experienced. Highly recommended.
