This year I am sad to announce that I only need one hand to point out how many visits I have made to the course. Times are rough, just ask your local golf pro, they may ask you first “where have you been”. Rounds are down, I can’t afford a new driver and I’ve even had to sell off a few of my wedges to squeeze in an extra day on the links.
Drastic times require drastic measures right? I wish someone would have created the survival guide sooner but at least I stumbled onto it before my golf life witnessed its end. It’s safe to say there are no easy answers right now but these great tips have definitely got my golf budget looking a little better this year. Who knows maybe there’s hope for that brand new driver after all…
Steps to Golfing in a Recession:
1) Sell Your Spare Clubs – Come on, you never pull out that 56 degree wedge, or the space age looking putter. Sell your clubs on Craigslist or through Ebay and use the cash to buy yourself into a few extra rounds.
2) Clip Coupons & Look For Membership Deals – I thought coupons were for groceries until I unearthed a ton of savings through some local golf sites offering buy one get one rounds. Another great opportunity is to check in with your local course to see if they are offering discounted membership.
3) Make Smart Buys – If you’re a gadget golfer, look for alternatives to pricey accessories. Instead of the ultra expensive range finder that can kill your golf budget at $400 or more, I downloaded GreenFinder GPS for my BlackBerry. It’s only $39 and it’s just as accurate as the stand alone units, you can add any course and you have over 11,000 courses set to go. You can save money by downloading it at www.greenfindergps.com
4) Fire Your Fitness Trainer – Why pay for golf fitness lessons when you can get great tips and fitness advice online? Of course you don’t get the one on one training from a golf professional but you can access awesome tips and fitness excercises to keep on top of your game at http://www.golfgymblog.blogspot.com/
5) Skip the Clubhouse – Ok, golf course owners please skip this step… Pack some power snacks into your golf bag like these Golf Energy Bars http://www.golfenergybar.com/order.asp< /a>. BYOB, I’ll leave this one up to you.
Happy, Cheaper Golfing.

Golfers can now have a highly accurate, golf gps rangefinder in their smartphone with GreenFinder software. GreenFinder provides rangefinder capabilities by leveraging the always connected nature and Global Positioning System (GPS) technology in select BlackBerry® smartphones from Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) and Apple iPhone. GreenFinder automatically calculates the distance from the golfer to the front, center and back of the green, as well as to hazards along the fairway for every hole at over 11,000 of the best golf courses across North America.
GreenFinder offers many advantages to seasoned and beginner golfers alike. By always knowing the distance to the green, golfers improve their club selection and save time by not having to seek out distance markers or pace off the yardage. For golfers who prefer to keep their BlackBerry smartphone in its holster, GreenFinder has a voice option that will 'speak the distance'. From drives to putts, the technology also has the capability to display the length of any shot.
The innovative software is available online at www.greenfinderGPS.com for just $35 per year. With parallel accuracy, GreenFinder software provides a cost effective alternative to cumbersome rangefinder devices. The cool thing about GreenFinder is that your rangefinder is always with you.
"I can't guarantee that using GreenFinder will improve your handicap," says Brian Semkowski, GreenFinder President and an avid golfer. "But I can assure you that you'll know how far you are to the green and that will make it easier to choose your club and swing with confidence."
GreenFinder is always available as long as the golfer has their GPS-enabled BlackBerry smartphone or Apple iPhone, eliminating the need for expensive rangefinder devices that can cost up to $500, have to be charged, and require advance planning. "Other rangefinders require you to download and setup the courses you wish to play ahead of time, but GreenFinder on a BlackBerry smartphone lets you do it in real time, on the course," explains Richard Baker, Vice President of Technology.
For the traveler, GreenFinder can help golfers find a local course by providing a list of golf courses within a 30-kilometer radius. Once a golf course is chosen, GreenFinder will even provide driving directions to the course.
