Good golf shoes don’t come cheap. Like other Popular brands can go for as much as $300. But there’s only so much truth to the belief that you get what you pay for. If you know where to look, you can find golf shoes – and even other golf equipments, accessories and t-shirts, for no more than the price of a regular pair, and get years of service for your money.
Clearance sales are a great way to scope out good deals. While they’re most common at the end of each season or around the holidays, there are usually a couple of companies that will sell golf gear for cheap to clean up their inventory and make room for new stock. Occasionally, you’ll also find one that’s closing up shop for good—that’s usually where the biggest discounts are. Some will slash off no more than 20%, but with luck …

Few golf trolley parts get more abuse than the wheels. Aside from carrying the weight of the machine plus your golf gear, they also tread across the green and the pavement. Needless to say, good wheels are essential to buying a golf trolley—in fact, a sturdy frame is worth little if it rests on flimsy wheels.
Of course, at some point even the most solid wheels will give in to wear and tear. If you’re a moderate to active golfer, you should always keep spares on hand—one for each wheel—so you’re not left hand-carrying your gear if one gives in. Golf trolley wheels can be expensive, but a good-quality one can last you years of regular use and will be well worth your money.
Golf trolleys come in two-wheel and three-wheel models, the latter being more recent and more costly. Each wheel is uniquely placed, so they’re not always interchangeable. …

Many golfers opt to go from hole to hole on foot, often to get as much exercise as possible from what’s largely considered a low-impact sport. But on serious terrain, you want a good golf buggy to get around and save all that energy for your swing. Golf clubs aren’t light, and the last thing you need before stepping up to the tee is a weary arm.
Most golf buggies are made to carry two golfers and their equipment, and are suited to different kinds of terrain. In the 1950s, small electric motor-powered models could be had for as little as $300. Prices went up to the $1,000-$1,500 range when the gas-powered cart was introduced in the 1970s.

Most golf courses will let you in without golf shoes. For most purposes, if you have a pair of comfortable sneakers or walking shoes, you’re good to go. But if you’re bent on improving your game, you may want to invest in more specialized footwear.
Golf shoes are designed to give you more stability as you swing. Metal or plastic spikes on the soles help you “grip” the ground so your feet don’t slide off, especially in wet conditions. Some courses have banned metal spikes, though, as they make tend to make deep marks on the green.
Some players claim a good pair of shoes can change your swing, improve your accuracy, and increase your distance. It’s probably a bit far-fetched, especially if you’re a casual player. But for the added comfort and traction, they might be worth your money if you spend entire days playing regularly. If anything, it …
