When you begin shopping for good golf equipment, you’ll find that if you know how and where to look, it can be a very rewarding adventure. I’ve stumbled upon great deals a number of times just by dropping by summer yard sales. I’ve seen entire sets for $30. Single woods were $3. Granted, they weren’t the best of the best, but I don’t need the best of the best to play (until such time that I turn pro).
As you begin to shop for golf equipment, don’t neglect used equipment. Here’s what I’ve discovered: if you know how and where to look, it can be a very you can find some very good deals. I’ve stumbled upon great deals many times just by browsing summer garage sales and the local thrift stores. I’ve seen entire sets of golf clubs for $25. Single woods were $5 each.

Many people believe good weather is a critical factor in playing golf. Golf tournaments are scheduled to occur in areas and at times when the weather is perfect. This is common sense, since golf is an outdoor sport that does not require the participant to exert themselves to the point of increasing their body temperature. So the outdoor environment appears to be rather important in playing golf. But this is not always the case.
Most people believe that in order to play golf, you need good weather. After all, if you watch any golf event on television everyone you see is usually in short sleeves and looks quite comfortable. Since this is an outdoor sport, without a huge amount of exertion to heat you up, it makes perfect sense to play when the weather is milk. But less than ideal weather does not always mean that you should not play.
