Unfortunately there was a fire there last night. Extensive damage by all accounts. Massive store for golfers in the west. Hopefully be back soon.

That's tough on them!!! Great shop. Especially with timing of re-opening etc. Hopefully they can get back to normal asap.

Always great to deal with. Massive few weeks ahead for them with golf just back and retail reopening. Hopefully they bounce back soon.

Thats a real pity, Declan was always good to me everytime I went in.

Hopefully he can build bigger and better from it.
He had a massive year last year he told me, back to celtic tiger sales, so hopefully he can reinvest it.

Hopefully he can get it up and running ASAP, always good to deal with and will match any price and often better it.

He said to me last year too that he couldnt get enough stock in, it was like a month of the week before Christmas.

Edit - I've seen a video of the fire and it looks like the fire is upstairs so hopefully his trackman and most of the stock downstairs are all ok.

Jesus that a real shame, couldn't have happened to them at a worse time either with golf just getting into full swing. Always great to deal with Declan and the guys in there. Has to be a contender for best golf shop in Ireland.

Agreed. Always bought clubs and equipment off him and always got a good return when trading back. I'd say most golfers in the West will continue to support him.
A great man for the sponsorship also.

Very sorry to hear about this. Golfstyle is an institution for golfers in the West. I hope Declan and all working in there recover well from this.

Christ, a brilliant golf shop. Have been in it a few times

On behalf of myself,my family and my staff I would sincerely like to thank the incredible Fire Brigade , Frank Dolan and his guys and also the Garda of Galway who are magnificent people .

They have a new premises now, not sure where it is but near by. And will be open in a couple of weeks I think.

Within liosbaun ind est according to their Facebook account.
They will be thronged again once open.
Great to see all the support locally for them not just from golfers.

Don't be afraid to message Declan on social media. I've ordered stuff off him this way through the pandemic and he simply ships it out to you......
