Driving a great bargain in golf stuff
Saw an ad in the News & Record today regarding Sports Authority having some sort of golf liquidation sale. "Save up to 85 percent."
OK. You've got my attention.
Then I read "While supplies last!" Ah-ha, the skeptic in me said, there's that oh-so subtle red flag. When I get there, all the good stuff will be picked clean and I'll be left with the scraps.
Maybe a discounted golf towel or a pair of hideous, lime green-golf slacks, something my dad would wear on the course in the 1970s/early 80s.
I was pleasantly surprised by what I found during a stop at its Greensboro store during my lunch break today.
I bought a Ram Laser titanium driver (10 degrees) for $9.99 and a 24-pack of Wilson Deep Red golf balls for $9.99.
Plenty of putters on sale from $4.99 to $9.99. Ram wedges also on sale for $4.99-$9.99.
Iron sets for $99, junior 8-piece set for $34.99.
One thing I would have liked to have seen: Better deals on golf bags and golf shoes. Didn't see much regarding golf bags. I only spotted one pair of golf shoes that were significantly marked down ($39.99, regular $59.99).
