OK Byk, if you come off some of that millions you're sitting on, and ask me nicely, I will consider becoming D.T.'s resident PGA Professional. Put some numbers together and call my agent.

Sorry to hear, Kev.

The bright side is you won't ever have to tell people that you work for Dick's to help keep people out of the wet stuff.

Typical short sided decision. Pro's at Dicks were truly a value added. Hopefully you will land something fast and better.

In certain areas (Baby Dept for one), Target is rolling out throughout the chain, stores that have specialized associates with IPADS in the Dept to assist customers about products (Strollers, Carseats, Bedding, Feeding, etc). They are seeing 25% lifts from this and the additional labor is greatly justified. I imagine Dicks will start seeing business declines that are greater than any labor and benefit savings.

Sorry Kev...retail can be brutal
