HISTORY & BACKGROUND
Golf Etc.® of America, Inc. was founded in 1992 with the dream and objective of becoming an international golf consulting and construction company. The strategy changed to that of franchising comprehensive golf retail shops in 1996.
Golf Etc.® of America currently has 65 operating franchises within the continental United States, Puerta Rico and Hawaii. We are opening an average of 14 new stores per year.
The reason for the unprecedented growth is simple. Our strategy is working; business owners are creating value in their local and regional markets. The Golf Etc.® strategy is new and unique. Our owners are capitalizing on the growth in technology, with emphasis on personal service, and consultation. The revenue is divided strategically between three separate profit centers, which compliment each other and when combined, create better margins and greater success.

Golf Etc.® of America has reformed the old way of doing business as a golf shop. We have dynamically changed the approach of this "cottage industry". We are excited about our growth and our ability to help many people realize their dream of starting and operating their own business, especially in the golf industry!
We invite you to carefully read through this information and contact one of our Franchise Development Officers toll free at (800) 806-8633 for more information. If you're already convinced this is the opportunity you've been waiting for, request additional information.
Golf Etc.® prioritizes vendor and supplier relations. It is important to be the best buyer not just the best seller of products and services. From our strategic alliances with Golfsmith & Golfworks, to our relationship to key pro-line brands, we create access to the products. However, we must caution you that your ability to gain accounts with certain name brands will be at the sole discretion of the manufacturer or distributor. Each store must submit applications individually for certain products. It is off course advantageous if you are a part of an national network and in our brand awareness and growth marketshare.
