Just scored a new Ogio bag for $7 - what's your best equipment score?

[HytrewQasdfg]

I've been looking for a stand bag. For some reason yesterday I decided to visit the local Goodwill (I admit it--I'm a cheapskate, I was hoping someone had donated a decent used bag). I walk back to the golf equipment and I noticed a blue bag that even from a distance looked to be in great condition. I get to it and it's an Ogio Riley TT stand bag. Perfect condition, has all the tags still attached, even the rain cover was still neatly folded up in one of the pockets. No doubt the bag was brand new.

The only odd thing was embroidered on the side of the bag was a big Miller Lite logo (just like the one above). At first I thought "I don't want a bag with a beer logo on it." Then I looked at the price tag: $6.94. I hesitated a second and thought "For seven bucks I can get used to the beer logo."

I'm guessing some local embrodery company got a job to embroider some golf bags, for some reason this one got rejected (logo in wrong place, who knows), so they donated the rejected back to Goodwill.

Anyway, if you ever see someone with a blue golf bag with a Miller Lite logo on the side, say hello.

That is an amazing price. Congrats. If you (or your wife/girlfriend/mom) have a stitch ripper you can probably take the logo off.

Best deal, hmm. My Nickent hybrids were about $40 each. My irons were $200, another $30 for the SW. And I bought a Mizuno putter for $10. I didn't like it though so I don't know if that was that great of a deal.

I bought a 3-E set of Hogan Forged Edge GS irons for $40 at goodwill. Surprisingly decent condition, though there are a few chips where the bare metal shows and is rusting. They are my backup set right now. If you go to the right Goodwill/Salvation Army Surplus you can find some surprising golf equipment mixed in with about 5000 persimmon woods.

While shopping for my girlfriend's set, I bought a brand new Callaway Hyper X ladies driver for $80 and a brand new Callaway X Fairway Wood for $50. I love older model discounts.

Around 1996/1997 when i was playing golf in H.S. a friend of mine had a full set of PRGR, and let me keep this amazing graphite 5 iron (which is the most amazing club i have ever hit). Turned out to be a prototype, and his father was the President of PRGR *smiles*

But recently, just getting back into golf, i picked up a Nike SV tour 52 wedge for 18 bucks only used once.

Wow. How often can you pick up a golf bag for less than a tin of porch beef? You got a steal.

I "won" a free hybrid for hitting the green on a par 3 at a tournament...the shipping was $29.99 so I didn't get the club.

What is that?

I got my MP-57s new for $500 and then got a cashback from Microsoft (Bing or it's predecessor) of $150, making it a $350 deal.

+1 ^

Also, bought my Nike Forged Blades with S400's for $275 shipped. I was told they had only been played about 10 rounds, but when they arrived they looked brand spankin' new!

Brand new IZZO dual strap 25¢ at my Church’s garage sale.

I really like my Ogio stand bag, but the dual strap that came with it never felt right. There, like gift from God, sat a new IZZO dual strap for a quarter. I can’t believe how much better I like this strap over the one that comes standard on my $180 Ogio bag.

I wanted one of those medicus power meters but wasn't willing to pay the $99 they were asking. Out of curiosity I mentioned to the guy at golftown that I didn't see them in the store but had seen them just a few days earlier. He says "yeah, we aren't carrying them anymore and got rid of them all at $5 a pop."

He searched the other stores for me and surprisingly was able to get me one which I just picked up an hour ago as I type this.

Played with it just a little and I love the instant feedback, especially since I just went to an interlocking grip a couple of days ago. Power meter shows I've picked up as much as 8 mph (much better release). Goodbye baseball grip.
