Golf is expensive. It's one of the least wallet-friendly hobbies I've ever done. And I don't regret a single dollar spent, as I truly love the game.But golf being expensive doesn't mean you need to just accept the high prices of clubs, balls and other golf gadgets. With Prime Day upon us, this is the perfect time to stock up on the golf goodies you need at lower prices.Sure, your next tee time will still put a hurting on your credit card, but at least you'll know you saved some money on the balls, clubs and other stuff you need to make the most of your time on the course.Quick LinksChampkey Heavy Duty Rubber Golf Ball Tray: was $27 now $21Vice Pro Golf Balls (Dozen): was $38 now $28TaylorMade TP5 Golf Balls (Dozen): was $44 now $37Callaway Golf 300 Pro Rangefinder: was $199 now $149Callaway Golf Rogue ST Max Fairway Wood: was $199 now $169Garmin Approach G80 GPS Handheld: was $499 now $299Ghost Golf Stand Bag: was $415 now $352Rapsodo MLM2PRO Launch Monitor: was $699 now $549Callaway Golf Strata Complete Golf Set: was $699 now $559Best Prime Day golf dealsGolf Deals I'd AvoidThere are a lot of deals out there that look good on the surface but aren't worth your hard-earned cash. Namely, I'd avoid the random brand names you've never heard of with prices that seem too good to be true. Can you sometimes get lucky with these products and find a diamond in the rough? Of course. But all too often, I hear stories about random, cheap golf bags falling apart quickly and costing more in the long run.Another type of deal I'd avoid is any refurbished golf balls. All too often, these balls, which claim to be ProV1 or TP5 models, are cheap balls with a new coat of paint. Often, after a few swings with them, you'll start to see the paint come off and realize it was a Top-Flite masquerading as a better ball, leaving you feeling ripped off.And no matter how cheap they are, don't buy iron covers. No one needs iron covers; they look goofy, and aside from blocking the noise of your irons clanking together, they really don't do anything useful.
