Of couse, to cover the security on the clubs he would send me, I had to put up a "security" deposit. I hung up the phone. Their phone number area code was 714. I found that the company was located in Irvine, California, which just happens to be the same place Warrior Golf is. I have heard many horror stories about their phone sales scam and their "security deposit" which you go thru heck to get back, even after your return their clubs. Quite a coincidence being in the same small town, isn't it. I wonder if this "new" company is just Warrior Golf's latest tephone sales scam? Any of you guys heard of this company, "American Golf Ranking Association"? I NEVER buy something from someone on the phone, unless I initiate the call. I'll bet a hundred dollar bill this was one of their new scam ploys.
Duh...how dumb do they think you are? I would have been insulted by something so blatantly obvious. Glad you hung up the phone.
