ack in 1972, former
caddy and greenskeeper
John Bobick opened a
modest shop selling golf
equipment in a small Indiana
town. The store's reputation for
outstanding selection and service
helped it grow to five additional
locations, and over the years,
Bobick's Golf became beloved
by golfers across the Midwest.
Shortly after celebrating its
50th anniversary earlier this year,
the Bobick's Golf flagship location
in Fort Wayne, Indiana, was ac-
quired by Worldwide Golf Shops
– and customers can expect the
same attention to detail and fam-
ily atmosphere they've enjoyed
over the past five decades.
"We are excited to be a part of
the Worldwide Golf Shops team,"
said Bobick's Golf General Man-
ager Tom Hipskind, who has been
with the store for 34 years. "At
first we were nervous about the
transition, but it has been awe-
some thanks to all the help we
have received from everyone
there. We are looking forward
to what being a part of a large
company will have in store for
us and our customers."
In addition to its 7,000 square
feet of retail space, the store also
includes launch monitor club-fit-
ting technology, golf simulators,
indoor hitting bays, full-service
club repair, major brand fitting
carts and an indoor putting green.
Bobick's also features a 20-acre
driving range featuring synthetic
and natural grass hitting areas,
which is a nice benefit for cus-
tomers who want to hit golf balls
to get a true feel for their clubs
before deciding to buy them.
As with other Worldwide Golf
Shops locations, Bobick's offers a
first-class shopping experience
with a knowledgable staff.
"Our staff is what really makes
our store," Hipskind said. "We
have a lot of experienced people –
three who have worked here for
22, 17 and 15 years. In addition,
our full-service club repairman
has been here for 25 years!"
