Two years ago on Amazon Prime Day, I spotted something I had wanted for months and the price was right. Click, into my virtual shopping cart. After two more clicks, my address was confirmed, and my debit card was changed. Two days later, an old-school shag bag arrived, and it has made practicing a pleasure ever since.
It’s easy to get swept up in the frenzy of Amazon Prime Day because some of the sales and price drops make things we might not buy seem like bargains. Electronic gizmos that seemed like a waste of money last week are, suddenly, look like a smart buy. As my grandfather used to say, “You could go broke buying bargains like this!”
In addition to the low prices on TVs, clothing and digital gear, Amazon Prime Day also features great deals on golf equipment and accessories, making it a savvy time to stock up on things that you will need this season, and maybe even next season too. Many golf-related items are not on sale as a part of Amazon Prime Day, but after looking over the sales Tuesday morning, here are some things that caught my eye.
Zivisk Wooden Golf Tees, $8.47 for 100
Eighteen times per round, you are going to need a golf tee, and no one wants to be that player in the foursome who is mooching tees off everyone else. Buy them in bulk and fill a pocket of your bag with tees at the beginning of the season and your set.

Like tees, I buy golf gloves in bulk when I see a good price on them because I know I’ll need them in the future. This glove is 20 percent off during Amazon Prime, so get a few, drop one in your golf bag and leave a couple at home. When your golf glove needs to be replaced, you will have one ready and when you get home, you can add another new one to your bag so you’ll be ready again next time.
