Nevada Bob’s Golf Shops employ CPGA professionals to assist in choosing equipment, apparel and accessories, offer golf tips, make course recommendations and suggest equipment changes and adjustments to improve a player’s game.

These associates are highly skilled in assessing customers needs, getting them better prepared to enjoy and excel at golf,” says Dax Brewster, Manager of Special Business for the Forzani Group.
“Weve also brought important tools of the trade to our stores,” says Brewster. “The FlightScope indoor tracking device, for example, is an incredibly valuable fitting tool that uses Doppler radar technology to provide customers with instant feedback as to how golf product is working for them in-store, prior to purchasing.”
