Buy New Golf Balls At Rock Bottom Prices
Don't EVER spend list price for new golf balls! There are just too many ways for the frugal golfer to pay less. The first step in paying less for your new golf ball, of course, is knowing the make and model of that ball. If you're not firmly committed to a particular ball or a particular type of ball, I urge you check out my page on

. Next, get a baseline price for a dozen of your balls from your local golf or sporting goods store. Most of these stores have websites making it easy to check out prices (if not a simple phone call will get it quick). Once you know what the cheapest price is in your area, the baseline for your ball becomes that price PLUS any state & local tax. That's the price to beat! SHOP ONLINECheck out some of the comparison shopping sites e.g.

for your ball. Although I've had mixed results shopping this way, occasionally you can find a real bargain. Make sure you factor in the shipping costs to the final price. Use Google, Yahoo, Ask.com or other search engines to identify online golf stores that offer discounts. Some of the stores you might want to check out are
golfbargains.com,
golfballs.com
&
golfcow.com
. Try eBay! There are always plenty of new & recycled golf balls of just about every model for bid. And eBay veterans know that a high supply of any item means many opportunities for significant savings! Those of you who haven't tried eBay should check it out

. LOGO OVERRUNS Printing logos on new golf balls for golf courses, tournaments, businesses & private individuals is a thriving business. Inevitably, there are logo overruns. Although these brand name balls play as new, the overruns typically are sold online at a good discount. Type in "(your ball) logo overrun" at a search engine & see what happens. Finding your ball available as a logo overrun requires good timing and a bit of luck, but if you do, the savings make it worthwhile. COUPONSThe frugal golfer always checks for coupons when buying golf equipment from any online store. Check out my page on
