Best golf clearance sales that will help you save on 2022 equipment and apparel

Save some serious cash on last year’s equipment and apparel as many golf retailers are offering big sales to make room for their 2023 lines.

Let’s face it — golf is an expensive sport. Between green fees, equipment and even apparel, the cost can add up pretty quickly.

However, now is the time of year to cash in on huge savings. With most major brands rolling out their new equipment and apparel, their 2022 and even 2021 products are getting major discounts to make way for the newest goods.

Your patience will pay off big time, getting top of the line equipment, apparel and accessories for a fraction of the price. To make the search for the best deals easier, Golfweek has combed the internet to help you to play your best golf without breaking the bank.

First, remember these tips when taking your newest playing partner out on the course or practice range for the first time:

Baby steps. There’s no need to rush onto the course. Take time to develop fundamentals and good practice habits.
Relax. Chances are you’re not sparking the career of the next Nelly Korda or Tiger Woods. There’s no need to put all that pressure on your kiddo.
Pick a pro. Have your child pick a couple of players to watch and follow. Bonus points if you can go see them in person!
Have fun! That’s what golf is all about, right? Fun and enjoyment should come before anything else for all golfers, but especially for juniors.

Pink golf apparel to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Pink is fashionable year round, but in October it takes on a deeper meaning.

October is upon us which means it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

One of the deadliest diseases amongst women in the United States, breast cancer has unfortunately left a mark on all of our lives. Spreading awareness and helping people get access to treatment and early detection is what October is all about. In fact, take time to remind someone you love to get a mammogram, you could help save a life.

With plenty of charity tournaments and golf-related events that help raise awareness about breast cancer, you’re going to need some pink in your closet. Plus, pink is an awesome color to rock on the golf course.

And while we are officially in fall, not everything on this list is fall-centric, as you should be repping pink all year long. If you’re looking for more fall and early winter golf gear, check out the following lists to stock up and stay warm.

Dunlop Brands, and now Titleist and FootJoy, announce return to the PGA Merchandise Show

With COVID-19 infection rates lowering, equipment makers are announcing they plan to return to the PGA Show in January 2023.

In the days leading up to the 2022 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida, the Omicron variant pushed positive tests for COVID-19 over 800,000 per day in the United States. That wave of infections forced most major golf equipment companies to pull out of the annual trade show held at the Orange County Convention Center and the pre-show Demo Day that takes place every year at Orange County National Golf Club in Winter Garden, Florida.

But with infection rates lowering, more people vaccinated and treatments for COVID-19 improving, brands are announcing they plan to return to the PGA Merchandise Show in January 2023.

On September 15, Dunlop Brands — the parent company of Srixon, Cleveland Golf, XXIO and Asics — announced that its golf brands would be going back to the PGA Merchandise Show.

In a release, Mike Powell, the president and COO of Dunlop Sports Americas, said, “We are excited to return to the PGA Show in 2023 to show support for the PGA of America and the thousands of PGA Professionals who help make the business of golf what is it today. All of our staff looks forward to showcasing our brands in person, while highlighting the new and exciting things we have planned for the upcoming year.”

On Tuesday, the Acushnet Company’s Titleist and FootJoy announced that they would also be at both Demo Day and have a large presence on the floor at the PGA Show.

People listen as Julie Roberts sings the National Anthem during the opening of 2012 PGA Merchandise Show.

“We look forward to attending the 2023 PGA Show and reconnecting with our partners and the golf community,” said Acushnet senior vice president Peter Broome. “The PGA Show continues to evolve and provides our Titleist and FootJoy brands a forum to strengthen partner relationships, offer educational opportunities and showcase our exciting new products. The timing of this important industry gathering sets the tone for the year, and we look forward to returning to Orlando once again.”

Golfweek has spoken with executives and officials from several other golf equipment brands and nearly all of them said that while agreements and plans have not been officially finalized, they anticipate returning to the PGA Show in 2023.

Summer golf: Gear you need to play in the heat

Gear every golfer can use to stay hydrated, cooler and protected from the sun.

For the past week, huge swaths of the United States have felt record-breaking heat, with golf lovers sweltering from Rhode Island to parts of Oregon. With August still a week away and plenty of summer golf to be played, it’s important to plan ahead and have a few things handy.

The best way to beat the heat is obvious: Play as early in the morning as possible or late in the afternoon or evening. Days are long now, so a quick nine holes as the sun comes up or after an early dinner can help you avoid the hottest parts of the day. If that’s not possible and you know you’re going to be playing through the middle of the day, these things can protect you from the sun, keep you hydrated and help you stay cooler.
