Yes, You Can Afford to Keep Golfing in a Tough Economy!
Yes, you can afford to (continue to) golf!
Even when economic times are tough, there’s no need to give up your favorite hobby. With a few minor changes in your habits, you can enjoy golfing the same way you always have. Here a few tips to keep you “in the swing” without pinching your wallet!
Instead of: Purchasing a brand-new driver, wedge, or iron set
Try: Buying a mint condition used or certified pre-owned club. These clubs are often indistinguishable from new, with just minor shop wear. Used clubs are also perfect for those just entering the sport, as they offer a chance to try out a club before investing a lot of money. Many used clubs have a money-back guarantee, to ensure your peace of mind.
Instead of: shelling out lots of money for new golf balls
Try: Buying used balls instead. You’ll find nearly-new, reconditioned balls from major makers like Callaway, Nike, TaylorMade, Titleist and more, at a savings of up to 40% off the new prices. You won’t be able to tell the difference, and the savings will add up quickly.
Instead of: paying full price for a pair of golf shoes
Try: purchasing clearance or on sale golf shoes. These shoes are usually overstocks, last year’s models, or discontinued items. They are in brand-new condition, but the savings over new shoes can be considerable.
Also, keep an eye out for coupons and discounts. Many websites periodically offer coupons such as Buy One Get One Free, 10% off, and free shipping on all orders. Check your favorite sites frequently to see their latest deals!
There’s no reason to think of golf as an expensive hobby. It can be fit into the most frugal lifestyle with ease. So keep enjoying your time on the greens, knowing that you’re saving a bundle!
