There are many opinions when it comes to buying golf gear online - what to do, what not to do, where to buy, where not to buy, etc. The buying tips in this section are a combination of personal experiences, feedback in golf forums and research. We would like to think that they will be something in here to help you get what you want for the right price, with as little trouble as possible.
GETTING THE BEST PRICE: One of the quickest and easiest ways to get the best price is to shop around on the internet. Do not be afraid to ask online stores to price match, particularly on big ticket items such as full sets of clubs and new drivers.

PRICE COMPARISON SITES: You can look around online for the best price, or take the lazy way out and use price comparison sites. On these sites, you enter the details of the golf club(s) you are looking to buy and they will return a list of online stores selling it, with the price. It is not always easy to know whether you are comparing apples with apples, so these sites are often just a good starting point to narrow your options.
SIGN-UP: Many, if not most, online golf stores let you (beg you to!) sign-up to a regular newsletter. While you do not want your inbox filled with junk mail, if you are selective you can get some good discounts and special offers. Most programs offer impressive newsletter with the valueable and frequent discount offers, including free shipping.
DISCOUNT COUPONS: Most online golf stores offer discount coupons from time to time (or all the time). Usually % off or free shipping. There are a few ways to take advantage of these coupons:
Visit Coupon Sites: there are a few sites that provide a list of all online stores offering discounts through the use of online coupons. Monkeybargains is one such site where you can find coupon codes for discounts or free shipping for many online golf stores (incl. Austads, Pinemeadow, Callaway)
Use Google: you could find the golf gear you want online, but before ordering, go to Google and enter the seller's website with the word "coupon" or "promotional code". You may be able to get a discount on your purchase or shipping costs, or both.
