doesn’t change with shoes and gloves like it does clubs. What is really the difference between last year’s model of shoe and this year’s if you are just starting out? You can usually pick up some very decent shoes and gloves at your local discount store. Also look at the end of the calendar year as you will find the best deals as models will change. Make sure you find a size that is comfortable as most places allow you to try on different models to find the right fit.

The biggest initial cost will be the clubs. New equipment can purchased at these locations:

• Local Pro Shop
• Off-course Retailer
• Discount Outlets
• On-line Retailers
• Local Independent Clubmaker / Fitting & Repair Shop
