Hi Reader,

Is Golf Too Expensive?

We love our golf here at Golfing Focus, but we're also acutely aware of the costs involved.

With the season of new club launches almost upon us, the big manufacturers will soon be hitting all the air waves with their latest offerings.

And, of course, these new products will come with a 'guarantee' to improve your game.

We've tackled this topic from multiple angles, including:

  1. What data tells us about cheap vs. expensive wedges
  2. Whether premium expensive golf balls go further, and
  3. The key cost components of expensive vs. budget clubs.

Check out the results of our deep dives into these topics, and don't forget to share your thoughts in our poll below!

Fighting Back At The Black Friday Sales!

We never like golfers to spend more than they need to on golf gear.

While we're all for splashing out if that's your choice, we also believe in saving money when it comes to golf wherever possible.

We’re putting the finishing touches on the edit of our hour-long interview with Simon Cooper of Precision Golf, one of Europe’s top club fitters.

So stay tuned!

And finally and most importantly we hope you are enjoying your golf!

Helping you to enjoy your golf as much as possible is all we're really bothered about at Golfing Focus.

Even as winter slows things down in the northern hemisphere, we hope you’re still finding ways to play and have fun.

ENJOY GOLF MORE & PLAY SMARTER Hi Reader, 🏌️♂️ Ever wondered if you should actually be swinging harder off the tee? I'll be honest – I used to be one of those golfers who'd consistently grab a 3-wood "for accuracy" on tight holes. You know the scenario. Standing there thinking I'm being smart choosing accuracy over distance and then hitting it into the deep rough or bunker anyway! Turns out, the data suggests I was making a classic mistake the vast majority of the time. 📊 The Numbers Don't...
