STORE NEWS
T
he Golfdom brand is about to
get quite a bit bigger in the
Washington, D.C., area. The
company, part of the Worldwide
Golf Shops family of stores, is set to open
a brand new store in Rockville, Maryland,
and to rebrand the Duke's Golf store in
Annapolis, Maryland, to a Golfdom.
Worldwide Golf Shops had acquired
the Golfdom location in Tysons, Virginia,
in May 2022 and will now own and oper-
ate three stores in one of the most golf-
rich areas of the country while keeping
alive the spirit of the family-founded
stores, according to Buddy Christensen,
President of Golfdom.
WGS completed a renovation of the
4,500-square-foot Annapolis store, and it
now includes new signage revealing the
re-brand to Golfdom.
The new Rockville store is expected to
open in April, offering golfers 12,000
square feet of retail space. It will be mod-
eled after the Virginia location, with a pri-
mary focus on club fitting and a vast se-
lection of the top options in soft goods.
Each of the three stores will offer every-
thing that makes Worldwide Golf Shops
locations across the country so appealing
to golfers of all skill levels — expert serv-
ice, club fitting, club repair and an out-
standing selection of clubs, apparel,
shoes, accessories and more.
Even better, they will offer Worldwide
Golf Shops' industry-first 90-day satisfac-
tion guarantee and will feature a family
atmosphere that makes the stores stand
out.
The Rockville location will be run by
Randy Ramsey, and Robert Johns will
manage the Annapolis location. Both have
been with their respective stores for at
least five years and have worked in golf
retail for more than three decades.
"Rockville is only about 20 minutes
from Tysons but it sits on the other side of
the Potomac River, so typically the two
customer bases stay on their side of the
river," Christensen explained. "Annapolis
is about 30-45 minutes from the other two
stores, so really in a different market. It
draws from areas all around on the ocean
and bay side of Maryland, reaching as far
as Baltimore. We're really excited to be in
both of these markets!"
