Thinking of the pro shop as a toy store and the golf course as an amusement park helped them grow the business. (to say the least) Today Joe & Leigh's is an 8,000 square foot pro shop that has been honored to win numerous national awards, including making the list of Golf Digest's GolfWorld Business Top 100 Pro Shops in America TEN times over! And Leigh's been named the PGA of America National Merchandiser of the Year 2002 an impressive career second! He was honored in 1995 as well
The goal of Joe & Leigh's has always been to "make a friend, not a sale" that means building lifelong relationships. With a strong focus on customer service, it never occurred to Joe or Leigh to do anything other than take trades. One of the most highly visited areas of the shop is the space dedicated to used equipment , where customers spend countless hours looking for that "diamond in the rough" As the Swap Shop got busier and busier, Alan Sullivan a longtime sales associate and PGA Golf Professional for Joe & Leigh's suggested we post some of the slower moving inventory on a new marketplace called eBay. (this was in 1998). Before long the entire Swap Shop was nearly emptied. Suspecting we might be onto something (?) we began to aggressively procure the Finest Used and Like New Branded Golf (and started working on our own web site)
After a year of rapid fire growth 3balls was officially incorporated in January 2000. Passionate about serving golf and growing the game, 3balls is committed to maintaining the highest integrity, offering outstanding values, preserving manufacturer Brand experience and above all, providing a fun experience for our customers. (That explains the original monthly comic strip on their web site and the straight talk you'll find in the auction listings)
Their enthusiasm for eBay has grown even stronger. (It remains the number one sales channel.) Their contractual relationship with eBay and the title "eBay Preferred Golf Supplier" demonstrates the commitment to the eBay community and serving it's 55 million registered users. Here are some tid bits about the relationship.

They save you money two ways: (1) The GigaGolf approach to golf clubs is similar to Dell's approach to computers. They enable golfers to customize their club selection based on what you, the customer, want. They then build the clubs to the tightest manufacturing guidelines and ship them directly to your door. Cutting out the middleman allows them to dramatically reduce the cost of our custom products. (2) They do not hire big name sponsors. Hearing that a well known golfer or celebrity is playing with brand name products does lend credibility to the manufacturer. But more significantly, it increases the price of the product. In addition, the clubs you buy off the rack are very different from what tour professionals use. The shaft and other playing characteristics are customized to meet the needs of the touring pros. In some cases, the only similarity between the equipment pros use in tournaments and the "off the rack" clubs is the logo.
