New bag

I found this golf bag on special at Rebel Sports yesterday for $89. My old bag cost $129 two years ago. It is getting a bit worn now. Golf equipment manufacturers moved their factories to China to use all the cheap labour there and also hoping that just 1% of the population takes up golf one day and buy their gear locally! The electric golf trolley I bought from the Frankton market for $80.; but without any warrantee. It was a really good buy because the lowest price for this item in the shops was $450.

Golf has become a much cheaper sport to play today because of new technology and materials. The new two piece balls last almost forever. A friend recently bought a golf set from Countdown (a supermarket in Hamilton) for $199. It includes 14 clubs, golf bag and cart (trolley). Playing golf has become cheaper than playing badminton or tennis and the best part is: you don't necessarily need a playing partner in the beginning, just a good pro for some lessons on grip and swing. You do need a lot of balls at first because you will lose them all in the bush or in the water hazards
