Question

How is golf equipment(Drivers, Irons, Balls) supplied to retailers? And how do I find these suppliers?

Answer 1

Retailers have accounts with suppliers (wholesalers) such as Callaway, Mizuno, Taylor Made, Ping, etc. The retailer has an outside sales rep and an inside sales rep assigned to their account (these reps work in specific territories) and they place their orders through them. Those reps also service the account by conducting monthly inventory counts of their products and ordering what is know as "filler" to replenish what has been sold.

Answer 2
