    Best Balls For Golfing Newbies On A Budget

    Getting started in golfing often means having to make an investment in all kinds of new items: golfing clothes, golf clubs, and smaller yet just as important, golf balls. If you are new to the game, you may become dizzy at the number of golf balls that are out there. There certainly is quite a large selection of golf balls to choose from. So how do you go about finding golf balls suitable for the golfing newbie on a budget?

    You Will Need Balls

    No doubt about it - you need balls to play golf, and probably lots of them, because they can be lost so easily. Like tennis balls, golf balls are just as easy to lose (or even more so), but fortunately, pretty easy to replace. The absolute beginner should stock up on golf balls. However, golf balls can also get quite expensive, especially if you opt for higher end brands. Callaway, Titlist, Nike, and many others produce top of the line golf balls. But if you are truly an absolute beginner in the sport of golf, you will probably want to start off with golf balls that are cheap and easy to replace. After all, you are simply more prone to losing golf balls when you are a newbie. Here is a sampling of golf balls that are appropriate for the golf newbie on a budget.

    Range Balls - A Good First Choice for the Golf Newbie

    Range balls make an excellent first choice for the golfing newbie. There is probably no better way of honing your golf skills than to get out on the range with a bucket of balls. Getting out on the range allows you to practice your drive, your stance and your grip. Plus, it is affordable to get out on the range and purchase a bucket full of range balls. This is the perfect way to improve your golfing skills without having to spend a lot of money on the golf course.

    Check the Discount Bins for X-Outs

    What are x-outs? These are very good balls to start off with if you are an absolute golfing beginner. X-outs are generally high quality balls that suffered some kind of cosmetic problem during production. Most x-out balls manufactured by top name brands, but cannot be sold under the brand name because of cosmetic problems. However, most x-out balls are still high quality balls, just merely cosmetically deficient in some way or other. They are called x-out balls because xs have been stamped over the brand name and sold at a deeply discounted rate. Where can you find x-out balls? Look for them in the clearance bins at your local pro shop, at major department stores, and at your local sporting good stores.

    Used Balls - A Great Resource for the Beginner Golfer

    Used balls may not be the most glamorous purchase you will ever make, but they are a great resource if you are just getting started in golf and you are on a budget. You can find high quality used golf balls in many different places - yard sales, flea markets, on-course pro shops, and many online golf supplies web sites. You can probably even find used golf balls in your attic or garage. Another easy way to acquire golf balls on the cheap is to ask friends, acquaintances and family members who no longer golf to donate their used golf balls to you. Stay away from used golf balls that look discolored, cut, or otherwise damaged.

    Choose the Refurbished Route

    There are many refurbished balls that are sold in many pro shops and online. This is a very easy way to go about buying your first set of golf balls.

    Choose Value Golf Balls

    Of course, you can just choose the value golf balls that are often sold at sporting good stores and at your pro shop. Value golf balls generally go for roughly less than $20 per dozen balls.
