The Fangirl’s Guide to Golf Bargains

The swift “thwack” of a golf ball is one of the best sounds of summer. Throw in the smell of freshly cut grass and a cloudless, sunny morning and you’ll have to drag me off the course at the end of the day. Unless you’re lucky enough to live in Florida or Southern California, you’re probably looking forward to golf season just as much as the warmer days. Here’s our list of must-haves and some great deals to get you ready for a superb season.

Golf Movies

Golf can be a slow and methodical sport to watch, but not when Chevy Chase is teeing up while cracking hilarious one-liners. Cult classic Caddyshack makes for endless quotes on the golf course. To enhance your golf/comedy routine even further, be sure to add in a couple quotes from Happy Gilmore and remember to hit the ball with a running start. If you’re looking for a more inspiring, less comical golf movie, The Greatest Game Ever Played and the Legend of Bagger Vance  will keep you believing until your next tee time.

Watching the Game

No matter who your favorite player is, catch him or her anytime on TheGolfChannel. Call your local cable company and see how much it is to add the channel. Often the key to getting a deal with your provider is simply asking for one.

Another great option is investing in a Roku box. At $71.99 after coupon code save, it’s a one-time cost and there are a many of savings benefits beyond catching every golf game you can, such as free streaming videos for Amazon Prime members, Pandora Radio, and more.

Golf Gear

Getting to the Big Tournament
