PGA Tour Superstore sets grand opening date in North Bethesda

The new PGA Tour Superstore at 5100 Nicholson Lane at White Flint Plaza finally has a tee-off date. Your big box golf store adventure will begin on Saturday, July 30, 2022 with a grand opening weekend celebration. There will be $30,000 in golf and tennis giveaways at the store. The PGA Tour Superstore will fill the void left by the closure of the nearby Golf Galaxy, which closed in 2018.

KPMG Women's PGA Championship at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda this week

You may have seen these official courtesy vehicles for the 2022 KPMG Women's PGA Championship tournament around Bethesda, as the big event will be held at Congressional Country Club at 8500 River Road in Bethesda this week from June 21-26. Cadillac, not surprisingly, is one of the official sponsors.  This year's field features defending KPMG Women’s PGA Champion Nelly Korda, and World No. 1 Jin Young Ko.

Tickets are available online, and the tournament will be televised on The Golf Channel (Thursday-Friday) and NBC (Saturday and Sunday).

Golf Galaxy closes at Montrose Crossing (Photos)

Golf Galaxy has closed in the Montrose Crossing shopping center. The golf "superstore" sold golf equipment, offered repairs and accessories, and had on-site instructional programs and driving range/putting green facilities with a PGA professional.

The last few years have been a mixed bag for the chain, which is owned by Dick's Sporting Goods. On the one hand, up to two-thirds of Golf Galaxy's locations were expected to close four years ago, locations the company termed "low-performing." Yet just last year, Golf Galaxy opened 36 new stores across 16 states.

Their Montrose Crossing space is now available for lease, according to a sign in the window.
