5 Tips for Cheap Golf
These tips will help you to golf on a budget
Cheap golf tip #1. Clothes
Some golfers dress to impress but if you’re on a budget then you’re likely not going to care that much about what you’re wearing as long as you get to play the game. Proper attire dictates that golfers wear a tucked-in collared t-shirt and golf shoes. I’m not going to sit here and insult your intelligence by telling you where you can get a collared t-shirt but as far as golf shoes go, you can get them on Lazada for about as cheap as RM80 (US$19.92).
Cheap golf tip #2. Forget the green
I’m sure part of what got you excited about golf was the wide-open spaces and the almost majestic greenery, but that just isn’t practical right now, especially if you’re a beginner. On the plus side, driving ranges give you a chance to practice your swing without burning a hole through your wallet (no pun intended). Yes, it is the cheapest way to practice golf. Plus, You also won’t need to spend nearly as much on gear as you would if you were hitting the green.
