Buy cheap golf balls And You’ll Have More Money Left To Play Golf

Finally, another miserable winter is over and it’s time to start thinking about spring, summer and fall -or what should rightfully be referred to as “Golf Season.” You may be wondering why I don’t just move to Florida if I’m so obsessed with golf. After all, if we lived in the sunshine state, I could be playing golf twelve months of the year.

Truth be told, I’ve considered it. A few of my buddies moved into one of those gated golf-themed retirement condo developments and they love it. There is something appealing about the idea of driving a golf cart to pick up milk. Here’s the problem, though. Golf is an expensive hobby. I paid over a thousand dollars for my last driver and don’t get me started on what a dozen new balls cost. When you sink your retirement funds into a golf resort, unless your last name is Rockefeller, chances are that you aren’t going to have the money to play anywhere else, ever. I save money where I can and as a result, I can afford to travel with my wife and enjoy a series of golfing holidays every year. For example, by buying used golf balls instead of new ones, I was able to pay for a week in Florida last winter. We stayed at one of my buddies’ condo and played his course twice a day. I went online and bought perfect condition used Callaway Tour ix balls at $26 a dozen, compared to fifty bucks a dozen for new. With the rate I go through balls, that $25 a dozen savings adds up pretty quick.

Florida was nice, but I think next winter I’ll try South Carolina for a change of pace.
