This last bastion of male dominance has been forever shattered, ruptured and disfigured beyond all hopes of redemption. First the board room, and now the playground.
Ever since this all-man, macho sport was invaded by women; things have never been quite the same again.
So men are not really surprised that there have been multitudinous golf accessories designed exclusively to keep the fairer sex, well, fair.
Golf caps were never important golf accessories for the players from Mars. However, shade from the sun is critical for the Venus golfers.
So you have designer caps and custom tailor-made shades, all color coordinated down to the Nth hue. And this is just for caps.
You have the same mind-boggling variety in golf umbrellas, glares, sun-block and other things that make this sport so feminine these days.
If a lady’s delicate legs and pretty muscles tire themselves out driving a golf cart, well, you can see how a motorized caddy is almost a life-saving golf accessory now.
Tight-fisted housewives may not pay for a caddy and they will not expend extra energy in navigating and peddling a bulky golf cart.
So a motorized caddy with simple push-button on-off switches is suddenly the most important thing on the greens today.
And don’t faint with shock if you see pretty, pink customized golf carts puttering all over the course. And of course separate His and Hers washrooms, coordinated outfits for both golf partners, pink tees, and other excesses are almost common-place now.
Playing golf without accessories is a bit like eating bread without butter - possible, but really yucky!
Golf accessories can include the basic must-haves like balls and cases for your clubs to the high-end, nice-to-haves like handheld computers for keeping scores or tailor-made gloves.
As you may imagine, not only are these accessories terribly expensive but frills quickly become necessities in no time at all. So how can a golf addict buy these accessories at reasonable prices
Local golf club stores, as anyone will vouch, are quite expensive. So the alternative is to check out the local classifieds in the good old newspaper or online websites like Craigslist and eBay.
Keep track of flyers in your neighbourhood supermarket and keep one ear cocked for gossip and word-of-mouth information. The moment you hear that someone is getting rid of their golf accessories, swoop in for a killing.
You can get great discounts and unbelievable prices when others are spring-cleaning or upgrading their golf accessories. You get good, durable equipment and accessories for a small fraction of the retail price or almost for free.
If you have a mentor who wishes to discard their collection of accessories or if you are friendly with a senior citizen who is no longer capable of playing golf, well, you have hit a gold-mine.
You can either purchase or borrow your choice of golf accessorise at little or no cost. Let camaraderie and networking also help you along so that when someone is moving home or is picking up a new sport you can ask them for their set of golf accessories.
Who says that all good things in life, especially a neat set of golf accessories, are necessarily expensive?
