Golf Gear Direct Performance Fitting Centre and Showroom in Headcorn

Description

Golfgeardirect.co.uk is an online golf equipment retailing arm of Medway Golf Centre Ltd. This, our parent company, was formed in 1991 by Brothers Paul and Nigel Street who opened their first physical store in Rainham, Kent on the 30th October 1992.

In the pre-internet days the store was aptly named Medway Golf Centre, being located within the boundary of the Medway Towns in Kent.

In the face of stiff competition from a local well established driving range retail shop the newly created 'High Street' golf store thrived, quickly building a reputation of quality and fairness combined with excellent customer service standards. 1992 was early days in the High Street boom of golf retail where the industry experienced a seismic shift from it's traditional base of on course golf shops so Medway' were well placed to experience growth.

Subsequently the company expanded into golf course management with our first additional venture being the management of the golf services at Cobtree Manor Park Golf Course on behalf of Maidstone Borough Council. Medway Golf Centre Ltd further exanded into management of and supply to, a number of oncourse retail outlets amongst whom include: Gillingham Golf Club, Sittingbourne Golf Club, Moatlands Golf Club, Hilden Golf Centre and the Weald of Kent Golf Course.

Early in the 2000's it was clear that online retailing was about to eat into the High Street business so the company created the Golfgeardirect brand name. The website commenced trading in 2003 so at the time of writing we have been online for over 20 years. The company subseqeuently changed the name of the High Street store in Rainham, Kent to that of Golfgeardirect.co.uk to reflect it's growing online presence.

The company then purchased www.ladiesgolf.co.uk to provide us with a more focussed, niche website. Having operated this for 10 years we sold this during 'Covid Lockdown' to raise some much needed funds at the time!

Golfgeardirect are also proud to part of the Euroselec
