The WORST!!! Terrible service, uninformed sales personnel ,"do you carry golf shoes, no sir"... (Whole wall full!!we found on our own). No service there, finally someone showed up, let me know if I can help, "do you have waterproof shoes, no, no one guarantees them! We found a whole section of Foot Joy on out own, waterproof!! Looked at work out equipment, guy lift to help someone else in the MIDDLE of talking to us! We actually were interested in 2 machines! This is by far the very WORST Dick's we've ever been in, in spite of the fact we dropped almost $1000.00. I know not much money for you , but was for us! This is not a Dick's we will go back to, even though less then 5 miles from our home!!!"
