As we usher in a New Year and another golf season, it is important that we understand what is available from online golf.
Virtually everything a golfer can imagine or desire is out there in the online golf world, but much of it is really worthless.
Here is an outline of some of the best things that a golfer can take advantage of with online golf, and some tips for making the online experience better.
The first thing golfers can take advantage of is online tee times.
Technology has really provided golfers with the ability to set a tee time from your fingertips at home or on the go.
A golfer can simply visit the website of many courses, look over the golf tee time schedule, and write themselves into the desired time slot.
Be prepared to provide a credit card, as many courses will require it to hold the tee time for you.
Here is a tip, remember to cancel with the course or they may charge you for the round if you do not show up.
Also, be cautious using websites that offer discounts or tee times anywhere in the country.
These sites often do not have up to date information about local tournaments or other information that could ruin your day.
Just read the fine print and see how they interact with the course before you book your tee time online with them.
Another great online golf resource is the availability of golf books.
Information about every topic in golf can be had and delivered to your door, Kindle, IPhone, or IPad directly from the online golf community.
There are fantastic golf books for topics like learning golf and golf swing tips.
There are some unbelievable stories and biographies about professional golfers, as well as some great golf books chronicling tournaments and events of all types.
Golf books are a great way to learn golf, learn about the golf swing and technical motion, as well as improve your own game with books of golf swing tips and strategy.
Find some great golf books to help get you through the winter or to get some new perspective on fixing that slice.
Finding golf clubs for sale is easier than ever online.
Discount centers like Golfsmith, The Golf Warehouse, and Edwin Watts can offer the newest equipment at very competitive prices.
The huge volume they move allows them to offer low prices for online purchases, so if you know exactly what you need it is a great way to get a discount price.
Here is a tip for buying online, look for specials like free shipping or throw in bonuses like a dozen golf balls free with purchase.
If you are searching for used golf clubs for sale you will find plenty on Ebay.
com, Craigslist.
org, and other websites connecting sellers with buyers.
Another tip is to list your old clubs for sale to the online golf community and you might just get enough money from them to buy that new driver or GPS from an online discount golf center!
