100 Best Golf Shops

The golf shop at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale.

*January 1986. Shirt collars were hard and sales of muscle-back blades hadn't completely gone soft. That month also marked the debut of our 100 Best Golf Shops competition. The idea was simple: identify excellence in golf retailing. Those hard-collar shirts and blade irons may be long gone, but that uncomplicated, solid premise has stood the test of time. *
