Go Green on the Green

Contributed By: Amy Feezor

There’s just one month to go before the start of next Ryder Cup—the biennial tournament that invites the best golfers from the U.S. and Europe to compete for the sport’s biggest bragging rights. And that makes right now the pitch-perfect time for the launch of The Pro Shops by PGA Trade-In Network + eBay.

In partnership with the PGA Trade-In Network, eBay has just created a new shopping experience to connect you directly to the experts in the game and business of golf: PGA Professionals. The storefront, available now via PGA.com and eBay, provides the full inventory of equipment and services available through the eBay marketplace which PGA Professionals have sourced and inspected themselves. PGA Professionals, who are members of the PGA Trade-In Network, participate by taking the “Play It On” pledge. This pledge guarantees they will use their expertise to ensure authenticity and integrity; share their knowledge and passion for the game; and encourage the trade-in and resale of golf equipment.

Since these listings will include traded-in equipment that the PGA Professionals have accepted at their physical stores, you’ll be able to buy authentic, affordable used equipment to lighten the impact on your wallet — and on the environment in which you play one of your favorite games. Tee up now at ebay.com.
