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.

Buying a birthday gift for the golf fanatic of the family has never been an easy task. The possibilities seem endless, a new piece of golf equipment, the latest golf training aid, a box of golf balls, or perhaps even a golf lesson? Who knew buying a birthday gift for a golfer could be so complicated!

Old Standby - A Box of Golf Balls

The traditional Father’s Day gift for the golfing dad seems to be a box of his favorite golf balls. This would make for a fine golf birthday gift as well. Be sure to find out his favorite brand or type of golf ball and head on down to your local golf shop to pickup a dozen. If he does not use a specific brand, or you want to keep it a surprise, the major sport chain retailers generally have several brands of golf balls on sale. If your golf birthday boy or girl is a new player, try finding some low spin golf balls. Golf balls can cost you anywhere from $10 a dozen on up to $45. Unless your gift recipient plays golf several times a week, stick in the $10-$20 range.

Another Option - Golf Teaching Tools

There seems to be a new golf teaching tool or golf training aid on the market every other week. The Whippy Tempomaster is an amusing golf teaching tool at first sight, but is extremely effective at teaching a golfer about the tempo of a golf swing. You can find this particular golf teaching tool on eBay in the $75 range. The Swing Setter by David Leadbetter is a popular piece of equipment that is actually used by several professional golfers, Michelle Wie included. The Swing Setter will set you back $85 on eBay or $130 in retail stores. Another, less expensive option is a golf impact bag. For about $35 your birthday boy can whack away at a heavy bag, learning the correct position and feel at the moment of impact. Any of these options would make a wonderful birthday gift for your golfer.

Wise Decision - Golf Lessons

Unless the person you are buying this golf birthday gift for is a scratch golfer, a golf lesson is always a wonderful idea. Local golf courses, country clubs and driving ranges will often sell single lessons or packages of lessons both to the individual and as a certificate that you could use as the golf birthday gift. A golf lesson from a respectable local professional should cost you anywhere from $50-$100. The birthday boy or girl may not be as excited initiallybut they will be thanking you down the road!

Simple Idea - Golf Impact Indicators

Golf Impact Indicators are pieces of tape or sometimes calls golf dust that can be applied to the club face at the driving range or practice range. This will let your golf birthday gift recipient know where they are hitting the ball. This can run from about $5 for impact tape to $15 for a can of golf dust. You may have a hard time finding this in a local store, check it out online.

Now that you have a better idea of the options out there for your golf birthday gift, you can be confident that your purchase will make your golfer happy on his or her birthday!

People are always calling me looking for how to lower their score.(whisper) don’t tell anyone but I have the KEY to this eluding question.

And you probably have heard this before but maybe it was never put this way.

Next time you go to the driving range you will find your answer,and you will only need to bring one club. You are asking yourself what do you mean, how can I go to the driving range only bring one club and lower my score?

Tools Needed for Job:

- Pen or Pencil

- Paper

- Putter

Instructions for Job:

- Walk to Putting Green

- Ask 10 people on the putting green their handicap

- Walk to Driving Range

- Ask 10 people on the driving range their handicap

- Take an average of both results separately

- Look at averages of people on (putting green vs. driving range)

Results:

On average, people on the putting green will be about 7 strokes better in comparison to people on the driving range.

Still don’t feel like I have giving you the KEY to lowering your score. Look again at your results. Ahhh.now you see the answer I am sure.

In Conclusion:

Take your putter out walk right past the driving range, walk directly to the putting green. The closer your feet get to the range the more you will feel your score dropping.

MAKE PUTTING FUN
(MAKE THIS A COMPETITION WITH FRIENDS)

1. Make (3) piles of golf balls on the putting green.

- (8) Balls at 4 feet

- (4) Balls at 8 Feet

- (2) Balls at 12 feet

2. Start with the 4 foot putts don’t move to 8 foot putts until you have sunk all (8) balls at 4 feet (IN A ROW).

3. Now move to the 8 foot putts and don’t move to the 12 foot putts until you have made all the (4) 8 foot putts (IN A ROW).

4. Now you need to sink both of the 12 foot putts (IN A ROW) before you can leave the green.

5. Anytime you miss a putt you must start over at that section.
