If you spend in the right places, you can reach your full potential.
In golf, as in real estate, one always strives for a better neighborhood. There are many things that go into advancement – also known as improving your handicap – and one of them is money. The stereotype that you can’t buy a better game? Nonsense. Spend wisely and you will be ready to climb the leaderboard this season. I’ve created three master plans – based on skill – for a budget of $ 5,000 so you can think clearly about how to use your golf money more wisely on the fairways and in the pro shop. First, here are the best ways for a high handicap golfer to invest in their game.
