What happens at a big tournament when the other pros are out in the parking lot undercutting the vendor for the event?
Doesn't that matter?
Thank you.
With all due respect to sponsored players, retailers are much more important to manufacturers' bottom lines.
Years ago, a Discraft sponsored local posted online that he would be selling a bunch of his bonus discs for really cheap prices at our Tuesday league...in front of my shop...until I told him he wouldn't.
I also had a very popular manufacturer try to run an event and sell their merchandise at the course across the street from my shop without running it by me or the parks department. I called them out on it and was told they were just trying to "grow the sport." More like grow their business in the name of growing the sport.
