The year was 1963, JFK was President, Arnold Palmer had some new competition each week with a young golfer named Jack Nicklaus, and my dad, Oscar Austad, started the first Golf catalog in America from our home. It truly was a family business. Mom would type up the catalog, us kids would put labels on them, and everyone helped pick orders when they came in. People thought my dad was crazy for starting a golf catalog. After all, up until that time, you had to go to a Pro shop to be custom fitted. There was definitely a demand for good quality golf equipment at fair prices because Austad’s exploded with growth. Today, we operate 9 retail stores all in the upper Midwest, with the motto “Bend over backwards to take care of the customer and they will be your friend for life.” I think dad’s business motto is still true today, but don’t take my word for it. Check out the testimonials and ratings our customers give us. We would be honored to serve you as well. Hope to hear from you soon.

 

Driving for excellence,

 

Dave Austad, President
