Where do you buy the majority of your golf balls? Local retailers? Your pro shop? One of those enormous golf superstores? Maybe you’ve gotten a little bit adventurous and done some browsing online for cheap golf balls. If you have that’s great – the internet has opened up a whole range of opportunities when it comes to finding cheap golf balls.
So Which Is The Best Option?
Well…they all are. At any point in time any one of these retailers could be offering a great deal on golf balls. And when they do you need to be ready to pounce on that deal. I mentioned in a previous post the need to be organized. This is because of the huge number of options we now have. This doesn’t mean you have to spend hours and hours in the hope of saving yourself a couple of bucks. But by being on top of things you can save yourself good money over the course of a season.
Check All Your Sources On A Regular Basis
What you want to do is get into the habit of regularly checking some of the different sources. If you walk past a golf shop regularly, drop in once a week. Have a chat to staff – becoming friendly is a great way of getting cheap golf deals. They let you know about upcoming specials, and often have deals available for regular’s that other golfers don’t get access to.
You also want to have a few golf ball retailers online that you check on a regular basis. You may want to sign up for their emails if they have that option – let them come to you with the deals rather than you chasing after them.
Take Advantage Of Good Deals When They Roll Around
Then when there is a particularly good deal available on your particular brand of ball, buy up. Put a few away – golf balls hold their condition quite well as long as they aren’t kept in extremely cold or hot temperatures. The garage over winter is definitely not the place to keep them.
SUMMARY OF THE DIFFERENT RETAIL OPTIONS AVAILABLE
- Pro Shop (both new and used balls)
