Are Golf Balls The Most Expensive Golf Accessories
from: Max Golf GuidesA golfer is always faced with a constant barrage of things he/she can spend money on, ranging from the necessities, such as golf clubs, to completely unnecessary items, such as trophy cases for hole-in-one balls. It seems that a golfer's money can be constantly spent on the many things available. However, one of the most expensive items a golfer must spend money on isn't what you would expect.
Golf balls are perhaps the most irritating thing a golfer has to purchase, buying them over and over as they disappear into bushes, lakes and forests lining the course. The cost of golf balls seems quite ridiculous as well, with some selling for over $25 for a pack of 12. If you want to save money on golf balls or even get them for free, read on for a few tips on how this is possible.
While you're in the middle of a round of golf, there are usually many opportunities to find balls left behind by other golfers. It isn't a good idea to constantly interrupt your game to search for golf balls, but if you happen to walk by a cluster of bushes or a small water hazard, you might as well take a moment to look for golf balls that were left behind. If you don’t mind getting your arm wet, you can usually find multiple balls just by reaching into a water pool.
Bushes and other similar obstructions are also good places to look. Other golfers may think you're strange as they watch you rooting around for golf balls, but it's definitely worth it in the end when you can avoid paying insane amounts for golf balls every week. All you have to do is shove them into a bag you carry with you, then wash them off as soon as you get home and they'll be just like new.
You can also buy used golf balls from many different sources, including sporting good stores in your local area. These are sold at a huge discount off the original price, and you can't usually tell they've been used thanks to the cleaning processes. They're not often sold in matching brands or colors, so if uniformity is your thing you may be disappointed. Unless you're more than just a casual golfer, used or second-hand balls will probably work just fine.
It takes a very trained hand to be able to tell the difference between a new ball and a used ball, or between an expensive ball and a cheap ball. The spin and the hardness of the balls vary, but not likely enough to notice. Try two contrasting balls in a row and see if you notice anything and, if not, then you can be stick with the cheaper balls.
It may not seem like much of a money saver to get all of your golf balls for free or for a discounted rate, but the money you save tends to add up to quite a bit over time. Whether it's just a few dollars a week or whether you notice a significantly large saving, it's still money in your pocket that wouldn't have been there otherwise. Therefore, always take whatever opportunity you get to search for golf balls left behind by previous golfers in area since they likely have lost them. Second, buy used golf balls from sporting good stores in order to save money. If you follow these two guidelines, you're sure to have some extra money to spend on other important items.
