Since the acquisition in October 2002, Golfsmith has been on an aggressive, focused plan to expand its operations, its leadership team and its offerings. For example, it has nearly doubled the number of golf superstores it operates to 46, with a nationwide footprint that spans from New York to California. The growth has been both organic and through acquisition. Key additions to the management team were made to help grow the multichannel retail operations, build the brand and strengthen the company’s position in the golf retail market, says Thompson. Golfsmith recently hired executives away from The Bombay Company, The Home Depot, Circuit City and Top Flite.
