We resell at our Church Consignment Sale (on season, so there is a little bit of storing) BUT its worth it to me. We have bought our Dicks Sporting Goods (DSG) cleats and shin guards for soccer in the Fall. Recently we came here for a t-ball batting helmet. Man, I know NOTHING about baseball/t-ball and really nothing about batting helmets. One of the employees saw me struggling with a 4 year old and came over. (I forgot his name) Super helpful and we left with a batting helmet, chin strap and a ball...$27. So when I say reliable and convenient...yes we will continue coming here for our sports equipment.

Stadiumlinks is a company that goes around the country transforming football stadiums and major…read moreleague ballparks into target golf facilities. It's a really cool concept. They set up shop inside the Atlanta Braves' new ballpark, SunTrust Park, from October 25 to 29, 2017. I played on Sunday, October 29, 2017. I found out about Stadiumlinks through a Stadiumlinks Facebook post that one of my friends commented on and tagged me in. As an avid golfer and a casual fan of spectator sports, the opportunity to play golf in a professional sports arena was one I could not pass up. I immediately signed up to be on Stadiumlinks' mailing list to be notified of when tee times would become available. On Friday, September 29, 2017, I received an email that said tee times would become available on a first come, first served basis the following Tuesday, October 3, 2017 at 12:00 PM ET. The email said over 8,000 people were "waiting to register for an extremely limited number of tee times" ... "so consider this a friendly warning to register early." I booked our foursome a tee time just before 1:30 PM ET on October 3rd. At that time, many tee times were taken, but there were still several preferable times available. I booked our foursome the standard package which cost $399.90 total or about $100 per person. Expensive. Ticket prices for Stadiumlinks weren't revealed until the tee times were made available. You could only see them when you proceeded to find and book a tee time. We were instructed to park in the Red Deck at SunTrust Park where parking is free for the first 4 hours. Entry was at the Chop House Gate. Stadiumlinks' makeshift "clubhouse" was the Chop House itself. We waited inside the Chop House until our group was called to tee off. Our tee time was 12:24 PM, but they were running ahead of schedule, so we got to start shortly before noon. Little information was provided by Stadiumlinks on what exactly to expect. It was evident from the pictures that we would be hitting balls from the stands, but would we be playing on the field as well? We were all surprised and - I'm probably speaking for everyone in our foursome - felt ripped off when we were each handed a bag of 9, and only 9, balls to use on the "course." Seriously? That meant each ball cost $11.11 -- more than double the price of a brand new Titleist Pro V1! These balls weren't new either. They were Bridgestone golf balls, a good brand, but some of my balls were dirty and/or scuffed. At the price we paid, I expected better. Like Tour pros heading to a playoff, we were carted to the 1st tee where a man greeted us and explained the game and its scoring system. There were 9 greens laid out in the park's outfield. There was a marker at each tee box that told us which green was the target, via 9 distinct flag colors, and how many yards away each flag was. Yardages were unadjusted meaning the extreme elevation changes from hitting from the stands were not taken into account. This threw off our club selection. Scoring worked as follows: Eagle (-2): Hole in one Birdie (-1): Inside target ring Par (E): On the green Bogey (+1): Missed the green, but on the field (green area) Double bogey (+2): Off the field (brown area and beyond) The scoring system was a little wonky, but we ultimately didn't care as we were really in it for the unique experience. The holes worked their way from the lower levels (section 100 seats, I believe) all the way to the upper deck (section 400 seats). Signs showed us the way from tee box to tee box. The tee boxes were laid out so that we pretty much hit from every angle and level of the stadium. As I recall, the shortest holes were just over 110 yards and the longest hole was around 160 yards. After adjusting for the tens to hundreds of feet in elevation change, these yardages were reduced significantly. You could bring your own clubs, but woods weren't allowed. We just used the sets of Mizuno irons that were available at every tee box. To our disappointment, the sets were incomplete and inconsistent from hole to hole. I specifically remember needing an 9-iron and not finding one in the bag. It only took us an hour to play all 9 holes. Purely from a golf perspective, Stadiumlinks is no better than Topgolf. At least at Topgolf, you've got the technology (chips in balls for tracking), touchscreen scoring, TVs, servers with food and drink, and, not to mention, lots of balls. The only thing that sets Stadiumlinks apart is the one-of-a-kind venue. At $100, you're paying for the novelty of the experience. On a typical Saturday, I'd rather spend half that for 18 holes on a decent course. You could spend even more money on a VIP package upgrade that included things like practice bays, 2 balls per hole instead of 1, and chipping and putting challenges. Despite all the problems, in the end, I had fun and I really enjoyed the rare and perhaps once-in-a-lifetime experience of hitting golf balls from the upper deck of a major league ballpark.

An interesting experience, even if it was near freezing and windy…read more I'd rate higher but a few things drag it down. - it's very expensive. $100 to hit nine balls? For that price, I'd expect to hit two or three shots per hole. - the club selection at each hole was not always consistent with the required shot. For example, the longest hole did not have the longest clubs available. We saw longer clubs at the practice area on the way out. - speaking of, we totally missed the practice area coming in. It was a cold, windy day so we hustled into the Chophouse gathering room quickly after registering (which was outside for some reason). No one pointed out the practice area. Come on, it's not like any of us knew what to expect with this thing. Some direction from staff would have been nice. So, we ended up on the 1st hole with our single ball and hoped our first swing on a frigid day was a good one. Not a $100 start, - at each hole, a sign provided the target and distance. But the distance was unadjusted for elevation (it said so). And believe me, in the upper stands at SunTrust Park where some holes were, there is serious elevation change, way more than you'd see on a golf course. So it was really hard to judge club selection. My laser range finder (which I should have brought along) tells me adjusted yardage. Why can't Stadium Links do that? - for $100, I would expect complimentary refreshments or SWAG. Nada. All those negatives derive from the price. If you pay that much money, you expect more return on value. Basically, this was a ripoff. That said, it is cool to hit golf balls into a major league field. I've hit golf balls off a Navy ship and this was a bit like that in terms of unusual experiences. Our group of four only scored one birdie, so the scoring setup was a bit harsh, but no one was in it for competition anyway. We had fun. I liked hitting the different model Mizuno clubs - you really could feel the difference in shaft composition (steel, graphite) and stiffness. The staff were universally friendly. In the end, I'm glad I did it but once is enough.

I visited Dick's one Sunday afternoon on the hunt for new workout shoes. Besides an online purchase…read morefor a Stanley cup, I've never actually set foot inside of Dick's before but somehow felt compelled to visit for this purchase. This location is in the Cumberland mall area and connected to Golf Galaxy. They have a hugeee parking lot, ready for dozens of shoppers. When I visited they had just opened and there were only a few other customers but I saw more and more as I shopped around. The store itself is huge. It was incredibly organized and laid out to catch your eye. Especially the pretty pink setup at the front which I assumed to be highlighting (or preparing to highlight) Breast Cancer Awareness month which is approaching, which I thought was lovely. I headed to the shoe section and the options were endless. I had no idea what I was looking for, to be honest. I had a slight idea but thought that I'd get some guidance here... not really. The young ladies over the shoes were incredibly sweet and patient, but I wish someone was able to offer some expertise. I tried on 2 different shoes with the help of one young lady and a young man who appeared from the back with the shoes. I didn't realize that they had devices around the shoe section that allowed you to request shoes in your size using the barcode, names, etc. Very cool! I ended up going with some colorful Nike Frees which were on sale and felt like clouds on my feet. I looked around the store on my way to checkout and phew, those prices were no joke! There didn't seem to be a huge variety in brands or pricing (lots of big names), but great variety in styles, colors and schools/teams represented. Checkout was incredibly easy and the employees at the front were helpful. Glad I found my shoes!

In about 10 minutes she saw two key problems in my set up and take away that were causing all my issues. She gave me a couple of drills to practice which worked wonders. Yesterday I played with my regular group and didn't tell them I took the lesson. They noticed the change in my swing and shots and I had the best ball striking round I've had in years. Thank you Deb!!! If you are looking for a golf instructor chose Deb Hankey and you will be glad you did.
