Golfsmith Opens in Columbia; First Store in the State

Golfsmith Establishes South Carolina Presence with New Columbia Store

Columbia, SC – Golfsmith International, the world’s
largest golf retailer, has opened its first South Carolina store in the state capital of Columbia. The new 23,500 square-foot store provides an unrivaled retail experience, featuring a dominant selection of the best brands in golf
and the ultimate ‘try before you buy’ interactive environment.

The new store is part of Golfsmith’s aggressive growth strategy in the Carolinas. Adding to its current Raleigh
location, the company recently expanded with new stores in Charlotte and Greensboro – with another new store
opening in Myrtle Beach later this spring.

The Columbia store, located at 252 Harbison Boulevard, has four high-tech golf simulators and an expansive indoor putting green that enable customers to experience the latest equipment. The new location also features GolfTEC, a state-of-the-art in-store improvement center, with PGA teaching professionals and certified coaches to help golfers
improve their games.

“Our new Columbia store is nestled between two iconic Southeast golf destinations – Myrtle Beach and Augusta – with some of the state’s most popular courses nearby. It’s a great location for establishing our presence in South Carolina,” said Sue Gove, Golfsmith International
President and CEO. “Whether you’re a scratch player or looking to get into the game for the first time, we offer the best selection of the biggest brands in a truly unique environment.”

In addition to clubs, balls, shoes, tees and other golf essentials from brands like Titleist, PING, Callaway, TaylorMade, Cobra, PUMA, Nike Golf, Mizuno and more, Golfsmith offers a wide selection of authentic golf apparel brands and fashions not found in a typical department or
discount store. Golfers will also find the latest technology accessories such as GPS units, swing analyzers and rangefinders. Golfsmith’s highly trained experts are
always on-hand to help customer find the right gear for their game.
