Callaway Golf Clubs

As I said in the first post, not everyone can afford to buy brand new clubs every year or two years so this is when people start searching for discount golf clubs. Finding discounted golf clubs can be a challenge, especially when searching on the web. By challenge, I mean finding true discounts on golf clubs. The big boys Titleist, Callaway, etc. do have their own sites where they sell discount golf clubs so you can definitely trust them although I do find some of their “discounts” still too much for someone on a budget. For other sites, you may want to search and look around and see what their prices are and compare them. Always shop around for discount golf clubs. Don’t jump at the first deal you see because there is always a chance that there could be a lower price out there for that golf club you’re searching for.

As for the newer golf clubs (less than a year old) you may not be able to find a deal lower than $100 from original price. For example, the new drivers from Titleist, the 905T and S, they will run you about $400 brand new. I would say that if you find a discount golf club place that is selling it used for around $300, that would be a good deal. That’s still pretty expensive, but it’s better than paying the $400 right?

Now newer or more recent clubs don’t always mean better. By this I mean it depends on what type of golfer you are. If you are just learning the game and are a beginner, you may not want to pay three or four hundred dollars for a new Titleist driver or putter. Don’t buy top of the line until you are ready. Not saying that you can’t do it, but it doesn’t make sense. Especially considering you if you are new to the game and you’re not even sure if you’re going to keep playing or get frustrated which a lot of people do. Ever see those TV shows where the parent pays for expensive lessons and instruments for pianos, violin, etc. and the kid quits within one week? Don’t spend money like that until you get to that level. A nice set of used clubs from a discount golf club place will do you good. To sum it up, follow these steps:

-Always search for the best deal. Don’t go for the first deal you see because there could be better ones out there

-Keep in mind that discounts for newer clubs that are used, will be deals, but still may put a dent in your pocket.

-Buy discount golf clubs that are suitable to you playing ability. If you’re just starting, you don’t need top of the line. A good used set will do just for you to get the hang of it and to decide if you’re going to stick with golf.

The ERC Fusion Driver is an ultra forgiving and accurate driver. This golf club is available through the “Callaway Golf Pre-Owned” website (www.callawaygolfpreowned.com).

The ERC Fusion Driver is available in lofts from 7.5 to 12.0, and is great if you are looking to drive the ball “Long and Straight”. The 360CC carbon composite head, with a forged titanium face, is actually 75% lighter. The ERC Fusion’s 45″ shaft is standard, with either a “Regular D-2″ or “Strong D-3″ swingweight. This enables both the male and female golfer to swing the club with ease, without experiencing a loss in power.

The ERC Fusion Driver looks and feels great! How many times has your foursome stood on the tee box waiting to hit, and you start comparing each others drivers? You compare grips, weight, feel, take a few practice swings, trying to get an overall feel for one anothers clubs. Put the ERC Fusion in your bag for your next round, and you will be the envy of your foursome.

I started playing with the Callaway ERC Fusion driver in the spring of 2004. I had previously played the Callaway C4, the Biggest Big Bertha, the Great Big Bertha, and the Big Bertha Warbird. Although I liked my previous drivers, and hit them fairly well, none compare to the success I am having with the ERC Fusion. I have become much more accurate off the tee, hitting more fairways, and driving much longer than my regular opponents. As you probably know, when you are longer and straighter off the tee, you score better.

It is much easier to hit the green from 150 yds. out, from a good lie on the fairway, than it is from 170 yds. out, from the rough, or even the trees. The larger sweetspot provides me the accuracy and distance needed for tight par 4’s and long par 5’s. The ERC Fusion enables me to reach some of those par 5’s in 2, cutting even more strokes off my game. It’s great putting for an eagle every now then. The lighter feel allows me to slow down my swing producing much better contact. It is simply the best Callaway Driver I have ever played.

And yes, although they might not want to admit it, my regular playing partners do envy me, especially as I am looking back at them from the fairway, waiting for them to hit first to the green.
The “Callaway Golf Pre-Owned” website offers these beautiful, powerful, slightly used golf clubs from $139.00 to $239.00. With a MSRP of $449.00, this is quite a Golf Bargain. Whoever thought driving a golf ball “Long and Straight” could be so fun, yet so easy.

Golf is an fulfilling and absorbing sport but, even so, there is a risk that you may become stale or bored if you do not change the place where you play. This makes golf different from other games, but the reason for this is the very nature of golf. To become a really good golf player, one needs to play according to the unique nature of every course, which in turn means that more than one course is ideal for the maximum development of your game.

Therefore, changing courses requires more than one golf course. While you are still a beginner, or are short of money, your choices are usually limited to golf courses near the place you live, work, or study. Usually there is more than one course there and most likely they are not too expensive.

However, once you have mastered these courses, you’ll probably be looking for more.

The most logical place to look into, while searching for a new course, is the PGA Tour stops. The disadvantage of PGA Tour stops is that usually they are not cheap, getting inside is difficult and often they are members-only country clubs. So, before heading to a PGA Tour stop, it is wise to check its rules and make reservations a couple of months in advance.

If changing the golf course is not the sole purpose of your journey, consider one of the several travel destinations, which are suitable for the whole family. In the daytime you will play golf, while your family members are having fun, and you will spend the evening together.

One of the best locations for golf and family vacations all in one is Hawaii. There are many famous golf courses in the Hawaii Islands. Depending on which island you’re staying on, there are several different golf courses for you to visit.

If your destination is Oahu (if you are staying in Honolulu, it is on this island), consider the Waikele Golf Club or the Coral Creek Golf Course. They will help you to improve your golf skills, because both courses are designed in a way which includes parts of the terrain.

If you are on the Hawaii Island, why not visit Sandalwood on the Maui Island? This is a relatively new and at the same time well-known golf course. Or why not try the Kona Country Club or the Mauna Key golf course on the Big Island?

Another popular golf destination is Japan. In Japan, there are literally thousands of different golf courses to improve your skills. But it is very, very important that you book your trip in advance, or you might miss the tee time on a Japanese golf club.

However, no matter where you end up going to golf, you’ll always be improving your game by exposing yourself to new hazards and obstacles. Just make sure that you plan ahead completely if you’re going to be golfing at courses while on vacation - you don’t want to get there and be unable to golf because you forgot to make the right reservations!
