Great deal, Taylormade TP5 pix normally goes for $60-$70 locally.
NEW larger more reactive core and Dual-Spin Cover
5 Layer Construction, Seamless Tour Flight Dimple Patter, and Cast Urethane Cover
Fastest Ball Speed, Higher Launch,
High Spin, and Soft Feel
CamelCamelCamel.
Unfortunately the ball still says Taylormade in English (packaging has Japanese)
Would be great if they were written in Katakana
Thanks OP - I'm looking forward to people stealing these when I'm on the opposite fairway
Looking forward to an inlfux of lost TP5s on the course…
Golf is a rich man's game. Is there any subsidy for low income earners to learn this game?
Green fees aren’t unreasonable and golf clubs can be cheap. Source: I’m definitely not rich and golf.
Nah I disagree. Let's list the bare necessities to play and improve at the sport.
$20-35 for 9 holes, if you want to improve you will probs play once every 1-2 weeks
Golf balls.$0.5 each second hand, will need a lot when starting
Beginners golf set 2nd hand $100-200
If you want to practice its about $20 for 100 balls at golf range
To the average person that is a decent amount of money compared to other sports.
Let's compare with basketball. Basketball cost for a beginners ball $30. That's it. Go find a half court in a park for practice and go find a free social court for pick up games. You could play every day for free.
I play both and golf is an expensive sport. It is for the more well off or less frugal demographic.
Cash converters $10 for one club and a few used balls. Walk to local park and hit.
If you are a basketballer you absolutely need $300 for a pair of Jordans
If you’re broke. Golf ain’t the sport. I agree there, but the person above says you need to be rich to play which you absolutely don’t.
All my gear is second hand (FB market & cumtree).
I go to the driving range whenever I can ($18 for 110 balls).
I bought a bird next, gym matt and fake turf so that I can practice hitting balls in my garage. I'll send a photo and bunnings links if you're curious.
I highly recommend :D. its fun and addictive.
Bird next? Sounds like an awesome setup. Photos please.
Oops. Meant to say Bird net
I think he's taking hitting a birdie quite literally :D
Buy second hand golf balls, second hand clubs, play at council courses. Golf isn’t that inaccessible in Australia
Its not that inaccessible if youre willing to go second hand for everything, but it has a much higher ceiling for equipment than lots of other sports unfortunately.
You're still going to be spending a lot less to play practically any other sport, and if youre strapped for cash I would not recommend getting into golf.
Amazon JP has it as this price regularly. Only place I buy my golf balls these days!
IN THE HOLE!
Damn missed it
TP5x still only $46 on Amazon jp.
bought 4 dozen - bloody cracker deal
If you buy 2 you get a further 5% off, making it $42.87 a packet, or buy 3 get a further 10% off making it $38.33 a packet.
Sounds good…. but I'm no Happy Gilmore.
