Finally, the golf club manufacturers are starting to get it. Finally the common man is being catered to, sort of, by the big dogs on the golf equipment block…..

I have waited for this for YEARS!

About 15 years ago I started down this career path. I was 19 years old and was just finishing my “career” as a golf caddy at the Coeur D’ Alene Restort course when I discovered that I could work in the golf industry and not have to run and rake bunkers all day. BINGO!!!!!

I got in on the “ground floor” of the technological boom in this game. I remember the first Titanium driver, I remember the first time I heard the words “Pro V1.” I remember when Ram introduced the $1000.00 driver…..WHOA……back up a second…….a driver for $1000.00??????

Yes, there was a time when people had so much money in their pocket that they actually considered paying $1000.00 for a driver in this game. It was shocking to see that and it is even more shocking to see how quickly we have come to a point where $300.00 seems a tad expensive for a driver.

The major manufacturers have heard our cries…..More likely, they have seen the decline in the bottom lines of their business and they are rushing to help…or more likely, bolster the bottom lines.

There are a bevy of awesome promotions out there right now that you would not have seen, even, 2 years ago. Gone are the days of “buy a driver, a set of irons, a fairway wood, and a putter, and get a free hat.” Gone are the days of “Free sleeve of golf balls with the purchase of any driver priced over $500.00.”

Welcome to the days of REAL promotions………

Right now, you can take advangtage of some of the best promotions I have ever seen in my time in this business. Right now you can get a Callaway driver and get up to 2 fairway woods for $1.00!!!!! Or if Callaway is not your driver of choice, try the brand new Adams Speedline Driver and get a FREE fairway wood!

“What about irons?” you ask? Well Callaway has you covered again with the X-22 iron set. Buy an X-22 iron set……FREE specialty wedge, and not the closeout wedge, the brand new Forged Wedge! One of my favorites is the Cleveland Launcher Combo promotion that gets you a FREE bag. Nothing like a new home for new clubs and Cleveland has you covered in that department.

The best part about the current state of the economy is that the golf stuff is getting cheaper. For years there was no chance you would find much beyond a couple bucks off of golf balls for a promotion. Today, you can get the top of the line Srixon ball from last year, buy one, get one FREE! It is amazing to see something like that in golf balls.

This is a strange time for all of us as far as the economy goes. It is nice to see an entire industry start to sway with the times and break rules that they put in place for so long. It is up to us to take advantage while we can.
