Ready
After 10 years in business, Ready Golf closed
its doors for good on Saturday, Feb. 11. Mike
and Michelle Brooks have owned and operat-
ed Mesquite’s only full-service golf store for
the last decade.
They recently moved the location of the
store in an attempt to continue serving the
community from a smaller footprint. While
store manager Don Patnaude continued to
fulfill Mesquite’s need for custom club fitting,
repairs, and grips, with less floor space to fill
up with inventory, Patnaude and the owners
streamlined the retail space based on their
experience of the true necessities in a golfers’
world, such as equipment, balls, tees, accesso-
ries, apparel and shoes.
Still, partly because of competition from
online giants and slow sales especially in the
summer months, the business was no longer
sustainable.
Ready Golf is beloved in the community as
the quintessential Mesquite small business
– friendly, personable customer service in a
comfortably pleasing environment, along with
fair prices on quality merchandise. They also
contributed to the community in other ways,
such as supporting other local businesses at
every opportunity.
They were active chamber members and gave
back to the community with their support of
local charities. A dog-loving family, they often
held fundraisers for the local rescues, gen-
erating much-needed food for local animals.
They also made generous contributions to
countless golf tournaments in the way of mer-
chandise donations for prizes and were active
and instrumental in promoting such events.
Many shoppers found more than just purchases at
Ready Golf – they found a wonderful new friendship.
The Brooks are thankful for all the friends they’ve
made over the years.
While the goods and services they provided will surely
be missed, you won’t have to miss the owners them-
selves or go far to find their friendly faces.
When the couple relocated Ready Golf, the golf cart
business spun off as its own entity, Ready Golf Cars,
and set up its location next door to the retail golf
shop. The Brooks will continue to serve the local golf
market by focusing their efforts on running that busi-
ness in the same friendly, professional way for which
they’re known.
Ready Golf Cars is an authorized E-Z-GO golf car sales
and service dealership. They sell new and refurbished
golf cars and accessories, and provide service on exist-
ing E-Z-GO electric cars.
Ready Golf Cars’ flagship product is the E-Z-GO Free-
dom RXV ELITE, powered by Samsung SDI Lithium
batteries.
This option gives customers a maintenance free bat-
tery solution that uses less energy for a faster, longer
lasting charge, with a five-year warranty. Buyers make
choices for their vehicles similar to buying a new car –
color, accessory options, custom wheels, and more.
They can also choose from used cars with lead-acid
batteries, which have been completely refurbished
in-house, with all the same custom options as the new
cars. Financing is available for buyers, and the busi-
ness also takes trade-ins and buys used carts.
Ready Golf Cars has another location in Las Vegas and
their combined inventory can be found on their web-
site at readygolfcars.com or call 702-346-2309.
