I just saw on my facebook news feed an amazing deal that involves golf. The Grand National Golf Club, which is owned by the Grand Casino Hinkley has on every Wednesday in July for $18 you get 18 holes of golf, a gps enabled golf cart, and a bucket of range balls. This may be the cheapest price I have seen for all those things. I get done with work at noon today and am considering making the just over 1 hour trip to try it out. You can not argue with a price like that. I am still in amazement. Anyway if you want to make a tee time call them up at 320-384-7427. If this isn't cheap golf I don't know what is!

How to save money on golf this Spring
Here are my top 5 tips to save money on golf this Spring.
1. Don't buy expensive balls if your not a scratch golfer especially if your out only playing for fun.
Yes it is fun to brag that you are shooting an expensive Pro V1, but for most golfers the ball does more hurt than help. Most of us can not draw or fade the ball on purpose, so why would need a ball with the control to do so. Also if your out only playing for fun why would you want to make the game become more expensive than it needs to be. For example it is almost 4 dollars per ball lost if the ball was a Pro V1
(over $5 per ball if you buy them on amazon). Could you imagine how expensive that could get on one of your bad days?
2. Don't rent a cart
I use golf as a form of exercise and what better way than carry your own clubs. If you are physically able of taking your clubs with you why not do it. Rental carts are expensive and for people my age a unnecessary cost. I promise you it is great exercise to walk the course.
3. Don't buy that new driver.
This kind of goes along with the golf balls. Most people in golf want the newest, the best, and the most expensive to brag about it. Sometimes though the newest and best does not help out your game. Do you really need a new $300 driver every year because it is the new hot item. Most people like to pay the extra money for the tour version of the driver, but a lot of tour pros don't even use the tour versions of the driver. If your driver is working fine for you and still in good shape wait for a year before you get a new or used in my case look for a cheap used driver of last years model. This goes along with other clubs as well.
4. Look for the deals in the local coupon books.
I know in the local coupon books here give coupons such as $5 off some courses or so much off a membership. Look through these and see what you can find. You might be surprised at what you find.
5. Make use of the twilight rates.
I make use of twilight rates all the time to be able to golf on courses that are way to expensive for me to normally go to. Also during those times the course is usually much less busy. Also you usually get to see a sunset over the golf course. All these things combined make for some very relaxing golf, and some great money savings.

The Spooner Golf Club's new Twilight Rate for this Summer!!!
So I just received an email today from Spooner Golf Club in Spooner Wisconsin about their new fees and leagues for 2011. It looks like the golf course which is a pretty highly rated golf course has some new amazing twilight green fees for 2011! Here is a direct copy and paste from the email:
9 Holes - $12 walking or $21 with cart
18 Holes - $20 walking or $34 with cart
UNLIMITED - $40 with cart

NEW Lower Twilight Rates in 2011!
There is a lot of fun to be had after 3:00 this Summer at SGC. Besides the two afternoon leagues we now have even lowered twilight rates.9 Holes - $12 walking or $21 with cart
18 Holes - $20 walking or $34 with cart
UNLIMITED - $40 with cart
This excited me. Finally Spooner which was an expensive golf course to me has finally become affordable! Not only is this finally affordable to me, but twilight rate starts at 3:00 P.M. instead of 5:00 P.M. that most golf courses around that area in Wisconsin offer. So if any of you are in the Spooner Wisconsin area over the summer I suggest you go check them out. I have herd good reviews about the course from friends. The only things they really complained about was the dress code and the price. Since one of those has been fixed I am recommending everyone to take advantage of these new rates. Also the dress code does not really bother me as it is not a crazy request in my mind for the course they just do not want you looking like a bum. After I received the email I decided to look on Spooner's web site to check out their new rates for 2011 and low and behold THEY NOW HAVE AMAZING AFFORDABLE STUDENT MEMBERSHIPS!!! The student memberships are actually cheaper then they are at the Butternut Hills Golf Course which is close to the Spooner Golf Course. Butternut Hills is the golf course I golfed most at last summer. I believe I may have found the first course I will actually get a golf membership at! I am very excited about this if you can not tell. I will keep you updated if I get a membership there or not. Below are the links for the golf course and their 2011 fees.
