Addiction to golf comes second only to that of booze, no wonder ‘golf widows’ were creatures who once received our deepest sympathies.
Now, of course, the term ‘golf poor’ is quickly becoming a universal truth as well. And that’s only because golf and its accessories can really empty out an addict’s wallet.
But the wise and the wiser can whisper a couple of secrets on how you can stop golf accessories from pinching your wallet. In fact, those in-the-know will inform you how this is one hobby that helps reap rich dividends for them.
First, every loves freebies especially if you happen to dish out your golf tips for free. You might be loved, but you’ll remain poor.
Instead, if you play your cards right you can advice golfers alright. However, when the time is right, ask them to allow you borrow some expensive accessories.
You will soon realize that no one will deny a golf guru their just dues. In the process, you can use (not own or possess) high-end golf accessories for free. Take this a step further and offer to give informal tuitions for a small fee.
Think of other ways in which you can allow your golf accessories to earn a small income for you. Can you rent them to other golf instructors so they can be used for training rookies?
Not only will this bring in some pocket money, you can actually use the additional money to buy your own set of fancy golf accessories.
Perhaps the most expensive accessory you'll ever buy are your golf clubs. But even after shelling out a pocket for them, most golfers don’t look after their clubs properly or don’t know how to do so.
Since you have invested time, money, and a lot of thought in purchasing your golf clubs, you should consider spending a little more effort in maintaining, storing, and using them properly.
First, consider the golf bag itself. Before you buy one, ensure that that the sides are toughened with some metal, like maybe steel. This helps protect your clubs in case the golf bag falls out of the cart or if it hits other objects.
To prevent theft of your clubs, see if you can buy a golf bag with a flap or a door on the top. The flap should come with a lock mechanism, for example, a number protected lock or even a simple lock-and-key will suffice.
Consider painting, embroidering, or embossing your name on the sides of your golf bag. Some people even take it a step further and imprint their contact details with their names.
In case the bag happens to get lost there is a fighting chance of recovering it again. See if you can get a professional to emboss your name and contact details on the handles of your clubs.
This won’t prevent theft, but at least you know you have a better chance at finding lost clubs again.
