Golf Balls For Sale
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.

He stocks up on cheap golf balls in the off-season, but still finds himself spending far too much on replacements by August, leading to his second major hobby: scanning the newspaper classifieds for “used golf balls for sale” ads.
