Was it Luck?
"As an American living in Singapore I was in a real jam. I picked up golf this year playing a hand-me-down old set of ill-fitting AP1's. It became clear after a 100 buckets that I needed a new set of traditional irons badly. I tested all the locally available brands that offered fitting service and scoured the internet consuming every review I could find. All my testing and data pointed me to one club; the Wilson Staff Blades. Problem(s) was/were a) there isn't a demo Staff Blade anywhere in Singapore I could swing, b) Wilson's Singapore distributer doesn't carry them because why the hell would anyone buy blades, c) Wilson does not ship to Singapore. What to do???
Searching the net to find a used set from anywhere, I stumbled upon globalgolf and lo-and-behold they had a Certified Pre-Owned set. Frankly, the idea of 'certified pre-owned' golf clubs sounded absurd to me, so I dove back online to look into globalgolf - and that's when I came across this ratings site.
I read all the reviews listed below. I mean, I'm a hell of a long way from home. If globalgolf screwed me (and these clubs aren't cheap) there's not much I could do about it. And although a few of the negative reviews here were clearly written by people who enjoy complaining, the vast majority spoke of a genuine and believable incompetence on behalf of globalgolf. My heart sank. But I was desperate. So I decided, against all better judgement, to place the order on February 26th with International Express delivery. Here's how it went:
1) Globalgolf confirmed the order within an hour.
2) They shipped my order the next day and sent me a dhl tracking number.
3) Over the next 5 days I follow my order on dhl's website as it traveled around the world through various customs ports.
3) My order arrived on-time and as scheduled today, which happens to be my birthday.
4) The Certified Pre-Owned Wilson Staff Blades I received are in utterly ridiculous condition. I say this because they are basically brand new, very likely a display set or similar. Sooo very, very pretty. Simply glorious.
5) Took the blades to the range an hour after arrival. Pure. Soooooo pure. A 'Think it and it shall be' kind of club. And I knew it the second it was in my hand. I also instantly knew why I hit all those buckets this year. Why after 30 years I picked up a club again. Time after time, out of the middle, the flight, the feeling. Blades, there is no substitute. Not for this old guy anyway.
So... THANK YOU GLOBALGOLF.COM for MAKING IT HAPPEN from the other-side of the world! EXCELLENT SERVICE, particularly on COMPLICATED INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING DELIVERIES. Your CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED clubs ROCK! Rest assured, I'll be buying from you until one of us goes bankrupt.
Warmest Regards from Singapore,
Chance"
