Just because the Dick's Open is behind us doesn't mean excitement for golf in the Southern Tier has gone away, and one pro shop in endicott is ready to welcome any and all newcomers to the sport.

The Greater Golf Training Center and Pro Shop has served the needs of Broome County golfers for close to 30 years, including the pros in town last weekend at En-Joie. The center is a true one stop shop for all the clubs, balls and tees to get you out on the greens.

Alongside the equipment on hand, the shop features a number of practice sites for new and old golfers to work on their swings and improve their games.

At the center of the shop's support of all golfers is Co-Owner and Director Of Golf Craig Mabee, who explained the best steps toward learning the game and how one fits into it.

"Come down and take a look around and see what's available and maybe test a couple of clubs while you come in just to see if you think it's something that you might be able to do," Mabee says. "It's not as easy as it looks, but it is a very intriguing game to play."

If you want to see how you stack up, the shop is open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays.
