If you're not trying to turn pro or play competitively, here are some tips I recently picked up while pretending to golf. Hopefully they might save you a few shiny pennies the next time you go golfing with your buddies.
The later you play, the cheaper you pay! Since it's hotter and the grass has been destroyed by the earlier golfers, twilight hours or super twilight hours are the way to go! Depending on the course, twilight hours are after 2PM. On the weekends in my area, 18 holes are $52 dollars, twilight hours are $35, and super twilight hours are $22. Carts are cheaper too to rent. Unless you're trying to get skin cancer in the future, be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen or cover yourself up with long sleeved clothing. Next, if you must have new golf clubs, you may want to check out Costco to see what is available. Otherwise, check craigslist, friends, or family members who have retired from the sport. A used set that fits you well is a good idea for causal play. Golf just isn't as popular as it was before. It's a declining sport in the U.S. that was more popular with the baby boomer generation than our current millennial generation. Nike and Adidas recently decided to get out of the golf business for the very same reason. From what I've seen in the neighborhood, bikes and cycling seem to be very popular these days. So I'm sure that there are plenty of retired golfers who would be more than happy and willing to part with their sets. Finally, bring your own balls and pack a cooler with snacks and drinks. Assuming that you're still getting better, you'll probably lose a lot of balls. And there's no better way than to cheer yourself up with soda, beer, and chips!
