Our story

Built around fit, not just inventory

We represent and fit clubs for most major manufacturers in the industry, including Mizuno, Titleist, Ping, Callaway, TaylorMade, Cobra and Tour Edge.

Carrying that range means we can tailor the right clubs to each customer’s swing and budget, rather than steering everyone toward whatever’s on the rack.

Our focus is integrity, customer service and satisfaction, whether that’s a full fitting, a lesson, a re-grip, a repair or just stopping in to test the latest equipment. We keep looking for ways to make that easier, from golf cart rentals during the pandemic to curbside pickup and delivery for club re-gripping.

Welcome to South Shore Golf Store

“We want to be the place you go when you can’t get on the course.”

Rich Hofer and Andy Carracino, owners

Long Island’s golf store, and its off-season clubhouse

We are here for one reason: to help golfers get the most enjoyment out of golf. We play golf, we watch golf and we talk golf, and that’s a big reason we started SSG in the first place.

Come see the new equipment before you commit to it. Get on the simulator in February. Take a lesson on a Tuesday night. Or just stop in and talk golf for twenty minutes. Plenty of people do, and we’ve never minded.

Testimonials

In our golfers’ words

★★★★★

Rich at South Shore Golf is terrific. Got fitted for new clubs and he wasn’t satisfied until I was satisfied. He made sure that I didn’t settle for the first club in my hands. I decided to take lessons indoors at the facility with Rich and it was the best thing I’ve done for my game.

Bill Etzel

★★★★★

I came in on Saturday to get fitted for a set of irons. Brian did the fitting and basically gave me a lesson. I ended up buying the Mizuno 850 Forged irons, a Mizuno driver, 3 wood, hybrids and wedges. I was so impressed with Brian’s teaching style that I scheduled a lesson. I will be a repeat customer.

Bruce Salmon

★★★★★

When at South Shore, the help I received was unlike ever I have had before. The staff fitted me and answered all my questions thoroughly. Thank you to the staff and owners for putting together such a wonderful store and giving me a great experience.

Ryan Belrose

★★★★★

I bought new irons from you guys last summer and the experience was great. Treated myself to a new driver and putter around the holidays too. I’ll be in soon for some tune up lessons. South Shore Golf is my go to store from now on.
