The Best Golf Deals Online

Golfing is a sport that has always been associated with rich white people. Even though a lot of middle class and non-white people play golf and it is growing in popularity around the world, there is still an association with country clubs and elitism in general. Of course, this association is actually quite reasonable, because even today, there are golf clubs with extremely high membership fees, which exclude some racial minorities, those who play the most are likely to have a high income, and, let us face it, and golf is an expensive sport to play. The equipment is expensive and the fees are expensive even at most public golf courses. However, it is possible to save a considerable amount of money if you know how to find bargains. In addition, as with most things these days, the best way to find bargains is by turning on your computer, going on to the Internet, and finding the right websites. This article discusses how you can find the best golf deals online.

For equipment such as golf clubs, you should consider buying used items from a site such as eBay. You need to be careful, though. Check that the seller has 100% positive feedback or close to it, from at least a hundred buyers. Read what those who have left feedback actually have to say about the seller. Make sure also to carefully read the description of the condition of the items you are buying, and be sure that the photos are of the actual items for sale rather than stock photos.

It is important to check shipping costs as well; often a seller will offer what appears to be a good price but then charges an unreasonable amount for the shipping. Check the return policy as well; many sellers will not accept returns for any reason. Finally, you need to know exactly what types and brands of clubs and balls work for your golf game, since you are not going to be able to try them out before purchasing. To try out golf clubs, consider renting; then you can try out a bunch of different clubs without spending a fortune.

For purchasing new equipment online, do a search using a term like "golf deals" and then compare prices among at least ten sites. With these, you also need to check on shipping costs and return policies. Some good sites to start with are greatgolfdeals.com, golfnow.com, rockbottomgolf.com, golfsmith.com, and worldwidegolfshops.com. You should trust the "natural" results more than the sponsored ones. For a long time Google was easily the best search engine to choose, but now the new Microsoft search engine Bing may actually better when making purchasing decisions.

For tee time deals online, in which you save money on fees for playing by booking tee times from a website, some good sites include teetimewatch.com, click4teetimes.com, and lastminutegreen.com. Try a search term like "tee times deals", and again, be patient and make sure you compare among multiple websites. The best golf deals online always go to those who take the time to do some research.
