According to the website, 3balls has been in business since 1998, but if you want the whole story, you've got to go back a ways, 20 years back to be specific. In 1981 two very good friends Joe Ricci and Leigh Bader arrived at a run down 9 hole golf course in South Easton, MA. The pro shop was an unimpressive 290 square feet. (About the size of a large living room).
Determined to make their dream of golf course ownership a reality, the two pitched in their savings of $2,000 each, bought a little inventory, hung an "open" sign and with those humble beginnings, Joe & Leigh's Discount Golf Pro Shop at The Pine Oaks Golf Course was born, reports the site.
Thinking of the pro shop as a toy store and the golf course as an amusement park helped them grow the business (to say the least.) The site mentions that today Joe & Leigh's is an 8,000 square foot pro shop that has been honored to win numerous national awards, including making the list of Golf Digest's Golf World Business Top 100 Pro Shops in America TEN times over! And Leigh's been named the PGA of America National Merchandiser of the Year 2002 an impressive career second! He was honored in 1995 as well.
The goal of Joe & Leigh's has always been to "make a friend, not a sale" that means building life long relationships. With a strong focus on customer service, it never occurred to Joe or Leigh to do anything other than take trades. One of the most highly visited areas of the shop is the space dedicated to used equipment, where customers spend countless hours looking for that "diamond in the rough."
After a year of rapid fire growth 3balls was officially incorporated in January 2000. Passionate about serving golf and growing the game, 3balls is committed to maintaining the highest integrity, offering outstanding values, preserving manufacturer brand experience and above all, providing a fun experience for our customers (which explains the original monthly comic strip on their web site.)
3balls headquarters is a large mixed-use facility in Raynham, MA. where their staff of 20 handle all order processing, fulfillment and customer service to support 3balls sales.
Well if you look carefully at the Joe & Leigh's Swap Shop sign near the top of their website page, you'll see in the corner there are 3 glass globes hanging behind the vintage golfer. Those 3 balls (get it?) are the universal symbol of traditional pawn shops and the inspiration for 3balls.com. Click on the following link to take advantage of the latest promotion.
