What Sweet Deals Do YOU Want To See This Holiday Season?
Hey Rock Heads, Scratch is back at the keyboard! So I’ve been thinking about what awesome deals I’m going to break out for the Rock Head Nation this Holiday Season and was hoping I could get some help. What do YOU want to see over the Holiday? Free Shipping…Percent Off Sale…Our Cost Pricing? Anyone who gets my weekly newsletter knows what sweet deals you might see…but this year tell me what you want to see and I’ll see if I can make your Holiday Golfing wishes come true! Can’t wait to hear from ya!
Scratch the Caveman
Good job including a XHTML Valid link on the side of the blog when it really has 501 errors.
hrm….
***Note From Scratch***
Hrm indeed, sorry about that! Just a Caveman afterall… I’ll be working on fixing that up for you ASAP. Well, right after Happy Hour at least!
Scratch the Caveman
I’m on the “hunt” for some clubs (woods and/or irons) for the cavewoman.
Trick is, they have to be fashionable and with a happenin’
brand name, cuz the cavewomen get carried away comparing
each other’s equipment and forget that it’s about performance
and not just style!
I figure, if anyone can “dig” up that kind of deal, Scratch can.
*** Note From Scratch***
Ahhhh, I love a challenge! One thing I can say is keep an eye on our Ladies Taylor Made Burner Driver next week. It looks pretty sweet and the price will be as well! I’ll also be sure to get some ladies only newsletters out this Holiday Season. If you’re not signed up for my Ladies Only alerts, you can do so by clicking on the “Edit My Preferences” link in any of the newsletters I send out.

I would like to see a deal on the Taylormade Driver.
***Note From Scratch***
You got it Kourtni! Keep an eye on our Taylor Made Burner Driver price next week *wink wink*

I am in the market for some new irons – possibly a hybrid/iron set so any deals on those would be perfect!
***Note From Scratch***
Ooohh, good call Josh! I have a set of hybrid irons myself! I’d recommend looking at my Adams and Nickent irons for some of the best hybrid/iron sets around. Then again, my Hogan CFT irons have been pretty hot sellers this year as well. I can pretty much guarantee you’ll see some sweet deals on a few of my hybrid iron sets over the next month or two! Maybe I can even sneak in an iron set sale for you soon.

Hey, I have been wanting Ping Irons for 10 years, but I have never found a price on them that I feel is fair, or affordable. I know, that your web site is probably the only place where I may one day be playing golf with a set of Ping Irons.
***Note From Scratch***
Unfortunately Gene, good Ping buys are few and far between for this Caveman. That’s some hard stuff to find and sell at discount prices…but don’t give up hope! The deals do come in occasionally. Right now I do have some Ping apparel and even a travel bag in The Cave. I couldn’t tell ya where or when it will happen, but keep your eyes open and I wouldn’t be surprised if someday you saw some new Ping irons waiting for you at the best price you’ve ever seen. Thanks for the note Gene!

Recently I tried to take advantage of the golf ball sales with a coupon for free golf tees. Trying to acess the coupon code became quiote a challange. Needless to say, I became frustrated and ended up not ordering. You need to get a more user friendly web-site, primarily if coupons or other discounts are involved.
I have ordered in the past and other than this expierience,it has been fine. I have recommeded your site to several friends.
*** Note From Scratch***
Hi Joe! Thanks for the feedback here. I think it would be great if we were able to have our giveaway deals pop into the cart when you break a certain dollar amount automatically. Unfortunately this Caveman just doesn’t have the right computer gear to do it right now. You can rest assured that I’m workin’ on it though! I know people love the giveaways and I’ll continue to try to make these as easy as possible. If you have trouble with anything in the future though there’s a toll free number on the front of our site (1-877-540-GOLF) that you can call. The Cave Crew will be happy to help you get through checkout with the free gear you deserve! Thanks again Joe!

Two Words
Lefties, Adams
***Note From Scratch***
Hey Chris! Those are two words I hear a lot these days. I usually do get lefties gear in on my Adams equipment. It gets picked over fast though. One sweet deal I do have for my lefties Adams fans right now is the Adams Tech OS Hybrid/Iron set:
The price is so low Adams won’t let me show it! Well, at least until you put it in the cart (don’t worry, no commitment to buy at that point, just my way around the legal stuff!) And of course I’ll always keep my eye open for new Adams buys! Thanks for the comment Chris!

Any chances of dealing Noodle Long and Soft new white golf balls? Keep up the good work Scratch!
***Note From Scratch***
Hmmm, that’s a good one Bill. I know I have the Maxfli Noodle Longest in right now but I’m out of the Long & Soft model. I’m gonna check on this one for you. I’ll be updating again later!
***
*** Follow Up #2 ***
Hey Bill! I double checked on the Maxfli Long & Soft Noodles and it looks like the market is dry for right now. Looks like we need to wait for the new models to come out! To make up for it I’ve put my Assorted Recycled Noodles on sale at just $3.99/Doz! Hope this helps ease the Noodle-less pain a little. Thanks for the post Bill! http://www.rockbottomgolf.com/maxfli-noodle-mint-used-recycled-golf-balls.html

SCRATCH……..over the years i’ve noticed that YOUR CAVE doesn’t have near the stuff in it that it use to have. i was wondering if/when you were ever going out to hunt up some cool, worthwhile bones to fill it up again?
***Note From Scratch***
Hey Skypyndy! I’m always keeping two eyes open for new deals to bring into The Cave. As a matter of fact, I’ve actually grown the amount of equipment I have in my Cave year over year! However, I think you may have seen less of the big name deals in The Cave this year that you are used to…until recently that is! No doubt, the deals were a little harder to come by this year (for reasons best left out of the Cave Blog, don’t want to get all political on ya!). But I’ve been seeing more and more big name deals including my Nike SQ Sumo Drivers, Callaway Big Bertha and X-18 Irons and Taylor Made Burner Tour Drivers just to throw a few out there. I think it’s turning around for us. Keep your fingers crossed and I’ll keep the deals coming in as much as Cave-Manly possible!
***
G’Day Scratch,
I have purchased several Taylormade Drivers from you and other gear as well. Great site and easy to recommend to my Aussie mates.
I have discoverd that I need Stiff flex for my Burner and Quad drivers not the Regular and was wondering if you sell shafts only ?
With the Aussie dollar the way it is I can’t really shop too much from the States at this time but hope it turns around soon.
Keep up the good buys.
Regards
Ken
***Note From Scratch***
Hi Ken! I do occasionally get shafts in, but unfortunately I’m fresh out right now. However, I do have some good news here. One of my “things to do” is widen my club component selection. Shafts, grips, and all the rest! I can’t say I’ll be getting them in by the Holidays for sure, but keep your eyes open for them on the site because you know I’ll be watching for ’em! Thanks Ken!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!
I love you . Your deals are the best. Just keep searching from the major suppliers for your club and apparel deals.
Please let us know which shows you will be at ahead of time so i can plan to go to one of the Ohio shows
Your training aids are also a good buy and have used them for our high school program.

Time marches on bringing with it age. More and nore I find myself looking for “senior” graphite clubs to help fight the battle.
***Note From Scratch***
It’s true Jim, I don’t always get senior flex in on all of my clubs. But I can help you easily find the clubs I do have available in senior flex! Check this link out: or just type the word “senior” into the search box above. That should let you find all the clubs available in senior flex as well as let you sort by brand, category, etc. And don’t worry, when I find clubs available with senior flex I’ll be grabbin’ em up with the rest of the flexes!

Hi Scratch,
I am looking for a Ping G10, i10 regular steel set.
On your site I there is no Ping golfclubs at all. Will this change or not.
Kind regards Diederik
***Note From Scratch***
Hey Diederik! Unfortunately Ping deals are hard for this Caveman to find. I do get them every once in a great while but I don’t currently have a way to get a steady supply of them. I wish I had better news for ya. Thaks for checkin’ in and you can be sure that if I do get some Ping deals in they’ll be in my newsletter. http://www.rockbottomgolf.com/sign-up.html Thanks for the post Diederik!

HI there I am interested in a set of Ben Hogan Apex Edge irons the price is $229.99 and also the Callaway X driver for $149.99 I am wondering if you can make an offer on those clubs. I would like to pay $199.99 for the iron set and $119.99 for the Driver
Joanne
***Note From Scratch***
Wow Joanne, I must say you drive a hard bargain! I’m not sure if I can get all the way down to the prices you want but I’ll see what I can do during the Holidays here. In particular, keep an eye on the Callaway X-Series Driver this weekend when I send out some new deals in my ladies newsletter *wink* *wink*

Hey Scratch…
I missed out on the Macgregor M-Series Putters, M1, M2, and M3 designed by Bobby Grace. I know they were on the hot list in 2006 and now they are hard to come by. Can you try digging some up at your incredible prices? Hey, if you find some, land the M-series weight kits to go with them. I’m the guy who ends up buying the leftover gear 2 years after it comes out 😉
***Note From Scratch***
Hey Burnz! A man who lives by the Rock Bottom code! Buy em when the prices are at their best and the equipment plays just as well! I love it, same as me. And trust me when I say I’d love nothing more then to get me some more Bobby Grace in The Cave. Especially these M-Series. I don’t see any available out on the market right now but trust me when I say I’m lookin hard for them. In the meantime, have you checked out the Face Off DT Response Putter that Bobby Grace helped design? http://www.rockbottomgolf.com/macgregor-golf-face-off-response-dct-putter.html Not everyone’s cup of tea but nobody can say it’s not interesting technology! Already a few rave reviews by Rock Heads who have already tried it out. Thanks for the post Burnz, and those M-Series will be in a newsletter if/when I can get my hands on them.

I would really like to see you offer Srixon Soft “Lady” balls. Also, it sure would nice to see you in the Kansas City area sometime in “09”.
***Note From Scratch***
Hey JG! Srixon equipment is just another of those brands that is hard for this Caveman to get ahold of. Then again, when I do find it, sometimes I can bring in a TON of it! I know I’ve had the Srixon Soft Feel for men for quite awhile now just because I got soooooo many in. So I guess my point is, while I can’t guarantee I’ll be getting the ladies model in, if I do happen to get them in they’ll be priced at ROCK BOTTOM as I’ll have tons of them!
As for coming to KC, that’s a long trip for this Caveman to lug all of my golf gear out to. What I usually do when I can’t make it to a show though is send out a special email to my local Rock Heads with a special site offer. I’ll be sure to add KC to that list so even if I can’t make it out there you can still get a special offer straight from The Cave just for living in KC! Look for a special offer or just visit The Cave Feb. 6th – 8th!
Thanks for the post JG!

Thanks for answering my earlier questions Scratch.
One more thing. I really like the $5 flat rate shipping deal you had last week. FREE shipping deals work for me too. It’s always a bummer to find a great deal on some clubs, then have to pay through the nose for shipping 🙁
Keep up the good work and I’ll definately keep coming back for more.
***Note From Scratch***
Thanks for the feedback Burnz! This is really helpful because the $5 flat rate shipping is something brand new I tried out to see how my Rock Heads liked it. Over the next few weeks you’ll definitely be seeing some more shipping deals on the site. Thanks again Burnz!

Hi,
I am interested in buying the 3 dozen Bandit golf balls. I am waiting to see if the pricing drop, free shipping, or any discounts go on these balls.
Thank you.
Dan
***Note From Scratch***
Hey Dan! Right now I’m extremely low on my Bandit golf balls. I have good news here though. This is one of the items I should be able to get back in soon! There will definitely be some shipping deals coming up and maybe I can even get these featured in the Deal Of The Week spot for you once I get more in. I’ll be sure to keep them in mind. Thanks Dan!

Hey Scratch, Keep up the good work. I am over six foot three and 285 pounds. It is often difficult to find golf clothing that fits. I have ordered several XXL Antiquia Golf shirts that fit and wear great. I am looking for a windbreaker with raglan sleeves that fits as well as your shirts. Of course I am looking for caveman prices. Will you be getting any name brand jackets in XXL soon??? Thanks Kenzie
***Note From Scratch***
Hey Kenzi! I just spoke with the Cave Crew and I hear we ***MIGHT*** have some new windbreakers coming in from Ping. No guarantees yet. Also, not sure if they have the raglan style sleeves on them or not. We usually find that kind of info out once they get here. That’s the beauty of the discount buy! Coming from Ping though I wouldn’t be surprised if they do as it’s a pretty common them among sports apparel. I do have a few windjackets in The Cave right now in size XXL that have the raglan sleeves. This one for sure: http://www.rockbottomgolf.com/sun-mountain-rain-flex-rainflex-short-sleeve-pullover-windshirt.html and from the looks of the picture this stitching looks to be raglan style as well: http://www.rockbottomgolf.com/firethorn-golf-zip-windshirt-pullover.html. Thanks for the post Kenzi!

I am searching for a Hippo Giant #5 fairway wood stiff shaft
Hey Tim-
I’ve double and triple checked inventory here seeing if we had one left lying around the warehouse but I’m fresh out. Unfortunately I can’t guarantee these are coming back in. Same ol’ Rock Bottom philosophy. Buy in HUGE bulk so we can sell lower then low. But once it’s gone, it could be gone for good. I wish I could be of more help on this one. Thanks for checkin’ in and sorry for the delay.
Scratch the Caveman
Well said, finally a good report on this stuff
I’ve never given this a try, but I think it’s about time I do.
