Time for some new clubs!

It is the season for new equipment. Each year at this time, I look at my equipment to determine if something needs to be replaced. This year, I am looking at a driver and possible putter. I have not made any definite decisions, but this is the process I use:

• Step 1:  Figure out what you want/need.
• Step 2:  Research, research, and research.  I read the hype of manufactures to see what they say, however, I actually pay attention to the consumer reviews.  This is the most important piece of information you will find.  People are more than willing to tell you what they think.
• Step 3:  Wait for it to come on sale.  Check Ebay.  Check Kijiji.  Check Golftown (or other large franchise stores), check the local pro shop (you would be surprised).
• Step 4:  If possible haggle over the price.  The local pro shop will lower their price if you make them a reasonable deal.
• Step 5:  Purchase the piece of equipment.
• Step 6:  Probably the most important step – be happy with your purchase.  This is very important!

Using the process, I usually find the best deals available. I am not ready to anything yet, but it will happen soon. As I move forward, maybe you can give me some suggestions. Tell me what driver and putter you use and why you like it? I am all ears!

I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
