The Rich Don’t Need Golf Discounts - Do They?

Do rich people need golf discounts?

I suppose they don’t even think about anything with the word discount attached to it? Maybe the rich people who golf have so much money that the thought of golf discounts never enters their mind?

With all the expenses that go into playing a round of golf like green fees, cart fees, golf balls, new golf clubs if necessary, do they even care what all that cost.

Conventional wisdom says that only the rich play golf. While it might be an expensive game to play, it’s not just for the rich.

Perhaps television and radio personalities like Rush Limbaugh or Samuel Jackson who are avid golfers and pretty good golfers to add don’t need golf discounts. But, for the average Joe who has to eke out a living finding discounts is almost like finding money on the street - you look around and grab it before anybody else does.

And of course, not all rich people pay for a round of golf every time they hit the links. They could belong to a country club where their green fees are apart of their pricey membership dues sometimes adding up to more than what some families earn in a year.

When you’re not rich you pay attention to words like refund, even exchange, and money back guarantee. Those words mean a heck of a lot to the not so rich who want every bang for their buck.

As an avid golfer, you might spend hundreds of dollars on rounds of golf throughout the year. Shopping online at a golf shop or your local pro shop is routine.

For the high handicap golfer you would probably spend a lot of time looking for new golf balls because you lost a half-dozen on the front nine due to your mean slice that sends your tee shot into the woods never to be found again.

So you need the occasional golf discount on golf balls or a golf driver that is more forgiving. And unless you have a ton of cash like the rich, golf discounts are probably the only way to continue financing your golf habit on the cheap, no matter how bad your game.

What’s your way out if you are not rich? You could one day play well enough to qualify for a sponsors’ exemption on the big tour, win a golf tournament and get tons of endorsements and free golf equipment. Farfetched maybe, but until then you keep looking for the best golf discounts you can find to play the game you love.
