Everyone in this world loves a good bargain, and for golf equipment the song remains the same. The one thing to remember is that bargain doesn't always have to mean cheap, used, or damaged. You can find some really good buys if you just spend a little time and research to find what you're after. Let's look closer at the different avenues to finding some great bargain golf equipment.



Previously Owned Gear

This is a perfect place to start for any golfer just beginning the game or for someone who doesn't want to spend a small fortune on brand new equipment. There are a number of great places that you can find top notch used equipment. If you think of it like buying a car, the minute that brand new car is driven off the lot its value starts to decrease. But that doesn't mean it won't work as good as it did the day before when it was still on the car lot.

The same theory applies to golf equipment. You can usually get last years equipment that has hardly used for almost half the price. The technology is still just as good as it was last year but you won't have to pay the price for this year's model. There are number of great websites that deal strictly in this type of business. One of them being the ever popular EBAY, another is Callaway Golf Pre-owned and finally GolfClubExchange.com are the three biggest and most popular. You'll be able to find all degrees of used equipment that is priced accordingly.

End of Season

Another place a golfer looking for bargain golf equipment might look is any major golf store. It can be online or a department store. The key to this type of strategy is timing. If you go searching for new equipment near the end of the season a lot of company's will have year end sales where they're looking to give the consumer one last chance at this years equipment at better prices.

But the best time to buy is just after Christmas right before the beginning of the new season. The golf stores will offer huge savings on all the equipment they're trying to clear out to make room for the new stuff coming in for the up coming season. This is where I feel you'll find the best bargains on all types of brand new golf equipment that has never had an owner. This especially holds true for such items as golf shoes and clothing. If you want to save a little money then look for last years models and you'll get some great deals.

Where to Shop

If you're wondering where to go to get these great bargains there's only one place. The internet is the best place to find what ever you're looking for. There's one main reason for shopping online, and that's competition. There are so many online retailers competing for your business you can find some ridiculously low prices. You just have to take your time and look. The best thing about this is you don't have leave the comfort of your own home to find your new gear for this year. The bottom line about bargain golf equipment is to take your time and look in all the right places. You'll find an awesome deal!
