Save on golf
Tee Up, Spend Down
Golfing is a great way to spend a sunny weekend afternoon. But the costs for the hobby, from playing on a course to buying clubs to getting other equipment, certainly add up. Forbes helps out with its recent list of how to save on golf.
The first tip is good not just for the wallet, but also the waistline: walk to your holes instead of riding in the cart. When it comes to your equipment, buy used on sites like eBay or make your own with the help of Golfsmith's club-making store. Golf in the late afternoon for lower fees and buy clothing and other supplies in fall, the off-season.
Another good tip to save on golf is to watch for local deals through group-buying sites like Groupon, which may offer discounts for a day on the green or a series of lessons. A recent deal on the site offered 18 holes for half the regular price, plus NCGA membership, at a course in Northern California.
