Anyone else hit up the GoodWill for golf attire? If not you may give it a thought! I've been doing this for a couple years now. Good quality golf clothes are expensive!! For instance today I picked up a pair of black Nike golf pants and a green FootJoy shirt. Both in like new condition. Total spent $8.50!!! Last year during 1 visit I bought 3 brand new with tags still attached pair of Adidas clima lite golf pants total $13!! That was a savings of $175!!!

Great find.  I tend to wait for the clearance rack at Golf stores.  I hate paying retail for clothes.

When I first retired from the Army and got a job where I had to where collared shirts, I used to go to GoodWill and pick up shirts for work.  You can find $40 shirts in there for $5 or so, many of them were brand new.

I've never considered it before, but thanks for the great info...I'll be heading to my local thrift to see what's available, as I definitely fall within the category of "fiscally conscious golfer". Again, great tip.

I prefer shopping at countryclubwhereicannotplay.  I drive over in my large truck (because they all drive something much smaller), wait for someone to come out in an outfit I like, and then ask them nicely to give it to me.  And they do.  Of course I probably have my shoulder holster on...but the pistol is snapped in...I swear!  I have GREAT stuff...usually have to tailor the slacks though...and most golf shoes dont fit either...

Scored again at the goodwill last week guys!! Callaway golf shirt and another pair of Nike slacks. Blows my mind that not more golfers shop the goodwill! Amazing deals to be had. I usually stop in once or twice a month looking for new deals.

Every year my friend goes to Goodwill over by Palm Beach and scores some type of pullover. He always gives me one for Christmas. Last year was a Callaway zip long sleeve and this year was a Pinehurst Logo 3/4 sleeve waterproof reversible. I am wearing it today! All the stuff is like new. A couple of weeks ago he scored a tan Footjoy 3/4 windshirt for a few bucks and a Never Compromise putter. There are some deals if you hit the right one.

My wife's parents offered to let me store a set of clubs in their snowbird home so that when we fly down there, I can play without bringing clubs.  I already had a spare set of clubs, just didn't have a home for them.

I happened to pick up a Ping Hoofer bag in used but very clean condition for something like $9.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
