About
The name is a joke we're in on. Poor as in the swing, poor as in the wallet, and stubborn enough to work on both.
Here's the thing the golf industry would rather you not do the math on: the gap between you and a better score is almost never equipment. It's the six feet of carpet between your couch and the far wall. Putting is a third of your strokes and the only part of the game you can practice in socks.
So this shop sells practice greens and the small stuff around them. Not four hundred SKUs. A short list we'd actually put in our own hallway, each one picked with reasons attached and the caveats printed right on the page. If a product's flaw would annoy us, we tell you before you buy it, not in the review you write afterward.
Champagne bags, beer money. That's the whole idea. The rest of it, a journal of second-hand golf and curated used bags by golfer archetype, is coming to poorgolfer.com. The shop opened first because a putting mat is the cheapest stroke you'll ever buy.
Questions, complaints, or an argument about mat speed: write to us. We answer our own email. There is no support team, which is either charming or alarming depending on your day.
