Yep this guy started selling used golf balls in the Ford Plant. Then he opened a small shop in his garage. Then he took a leave of absence from work to see how the store would go if he was there full time. Then he quit his secure well paying job at Ford that would have supplied him with full benefits for life and a nice pension after 30 years.
He never looked back and has run a very successful golf store for over 20 years now.

He competes with the Big Boxes up here and easily holds his own in sales. Small businesses offer better service IMO. Plus that outdoor driving range he owns is a PLUS.

You walk out of the store 25 feet and walk onto the range. Mats setup in one area, grass in another. Yardage markers. Plus they have a launch monitor by Cobra, same one used by the Titleist/Cobra fitters.
Nothing beats trying clubs in actual playing conditions. Far better than indoor areas where I feel the monitors tend to lie about yardages to suck people into buying clubs.
