Bad Economy, Great Golf Deals

Posted in Equipment, Fun Stuff at 3:33 pm by alex

Everywhere you look these days there is a sale, promotion, or give-away going on. Kind of makes me think about all the things I overpaid for when times were better. No matter, getting in on the good deals now will average things out, right? Here are some promotions we came across that we thought we’d pass on:

Callaway Gas Card (ends tomorrow!): Free gas card with purchase of driver
Hilton Garden Inn Golf Giveaway: Stay overnight, get a round of golf for two
Edwin Watts Summer Clearance Sale: 50% off drivers
Golfsmith: $25 gift card with purchase of qualifying driver
TGW: Additional 40% trade-in value promotion

Motor Caddies

Posted in Equipment at 11:20 pm by alex

Golfers love new gadgets, and I’ve always been fascinated by the remote-controlled, robotic variety. Part of the fascination is that I don’t actually know anyone who owns one, so I have no first-hand experience of them. Golf bloggers and reviewers reliably fawn over them, though I doubt they own one themselves. But they must be selling well, because they are becoming ever more loaded with features, and even Segway has joined the fray and come out with their own version. Do you own one, and if so, does it live up to the hype?

RadarGolf Prize For March

Save time and strokes!

First there was GPS. Now there is BPS, the Ball Positioning System technology used by the RadarGolf System. The two-piece low-compression RadarGolf ball is long off the tee and soft on approach, despite being outfitted with a microchip embedded in the core.

In addition to the monthly prizes of a TaylorMade Burner driver, WGT shirts and balls, we are offering a RadarGolf system and ten dozen RadarGolf balls for a lucky World Golf Tour player, courtesy of our friends at RadarGolf. We will pick one player, at random, who has played at least one 9-hole challenge during the month of March to be the prize winner!

The prize from RadarGolf includes:

RadarGolf System (1)
RadarGolf Balls (10 dozen)
This award-winning product will save you strokes, time, and frustration.

The RadarGolf System includes:

  • One RadarGolf Handheld
  • One Dozen RadarGolf Balls
  • One Handheld Carrying Case
  • One Shield-It Pouch Set
  • Six AAA batteries
  • Owner’s Manual & DVD
