Find Cheap Golf Accessories Online


by Mick Euan Tait

As golf is an expensive game, many golfers are on the lookout for cheap golf accessories. After you have invested in golf clubs and golf balls you might want to save some money by checking out some cheap golf accessories.

The veteran golfer will have his own golf equipment already but may find that they need a few extra golf accessories. The beginner golfer, on the other hand, after buying their golf clubs and balls, still have to consider all the different golf accessories that they still need to buy.

Your best bet is to look for cheap golf accessories online. Online stores can offer a huge selection of golf accessories and they can keep their prices low as they don’t have the overheads of a high street golf store. The only thing you have to decide on is which golf accessories are necessary and which ones you can buy at a later date.

Golf accessories are usually considered to be every item of golf equipment except the clubs, balls, and shoes. Some online golf stores will have separate categories for golf bags and golf apparel, but others will lump them together with the rest of the golf accessories.

Normally, when you buy a full set of golf clubs, you will get a golf bag and maybe golf balls included in the package. If not, the first major accessory that will be on your shopping list will be a golf bag. Most online golf stores will present you with a big selection of golf bags but you must decide first of all what type of golf bag is for you.

Most popular for the beginner is the carry golf bag or the stand golf bag. The only real difference between the two being that the stand bag has fold-out legs that keeps the bag of off the ground when you take your shot. Next comes the cart golf bag which fits onto a push / pull cart or an electric cart and are sometimes a bit larger - this can be useful if you plan to take along extra gear like waterproofs, drinks, or warmer clothes. The last type of bag is the tour or staff golf bag which are generally only used by the professional golfers’ caddies as they are so large and heavy.

If you go with a cart bag then you will have to buy a golf cart. Electric carts are useful for seniors and people that can’t get around the golf course easily but they are a lot more expensive - also, make sure you charge the battery fully or you will have to push it manually and they are really heavy. If you like walking the course then a push cart is for you and they are reasonably priced. Todays push carts are lightweight, well-built, maneuverable, and they fold up to fit in the car.

The rest of the items that are needed are small cheap golf accessories; some golf tees, a golf glove, golf ball markers, and a divot tool. These golf accessories are thankfully quite cheap and can be found at all online golf stores. The other items that will be necessary if it rains a lot where you play golf are a golf towel and a golf umbrella.

Lastly, when first starting to play golf it isn’t necessary to splash out on fancy golf apparel; you can use any comfortable clothes but you must obey the rules of dress code at your golf course. By searching for cheap golf accessories online, you can save some money for a few extra rounds of golf.

« IRS Reacts To Higher Gas Prices The IRS is an agency that has a reputation that is somewhere between Attila the Hun and baby seal hunters. While deserved, the agency actually is very responsive to current events that impact taxpayers. This includes the increase in gas prices. Under the tax code, many taxpayers can deduct mileage accrued for business purposes. The deduction is represented as a numerical figure per miles. A taxpayer simply multiplies their total business mileage by this figure to get their deduction for the year. There are many factors that go into the business mileage deduction. They include vehicle depreciation, insurance and other variable costs. One of these is, obviously, the cost of fuel to get around. The IRS sets the numerical figure that can be used for the tax deduction at the beginning of each year. For 2008, the figure declared was 50.5 cents a business mile. If you drive 1,000 miles in 2008 for business, you would be able to deduct $505.00. Every so often something happens that makes the IRS review the business mileage deduction. A classic case was Hurricane Katrina. Damage to refineries results in a jump in gas prices. The IRS reacted by raising the business mileage deduction. As you well know, 2008 has been a brutal year for gas price increases. In many parts of the country, we are closing in on five dollars a gallon for fuel. In 2005, the average cost was $2.30. Ah, for the good old days! To say that gas prices have spiked this year is a slight understatement. The IRS has recognized as much and is adjusting the business mileage deduction according. For miles incurred in the last six months of 2008, the deduction figure is now 58.5 cents. So, how do you calculate all of this? Well, it is actually pretty simple. Any business mileage you undertake from January 1 through June 30 is deductable using the 50.5 figure. Mileage after that is done at the 58.5 percent rate. Just add the two totals for your deduction. There are two other mileage deductions you may be aware of. If you must move because of a new job, you can deduct your mileage as well. That rate for 2008 was 19 cents a mile. It has been bumped for the final six months to 27 cents. The tax code also contains a provision for taxpayers to deduct mileage incurred while helping a charity. The rate for 2008 is 14 cents a mile. This IRS does not have discretion to change this rate, so it has not been adjusted. It is unclear if Congress will act on it. The spike in gas prices is certain having an effect on everyone. The new deduction figures set by the IRS aren’t the answer to high prices, but at least the higher deductions will help take some of the bite out of the cost when tax time comes.
