Golf is an expensive hobby, no matter how you slice it (no pun intended). According to a recent GOLF magazine survey of more than 2,000 golfers, the majority of respondents said they spend between $500 and $1,000 annually on clubs and balls.
According to the National Golf Foundation (NGF), total golf spending is much higher when soft goods (clothing and shoes) and accessories (tees, towels, bags, etc.) are added. And that doesn’t even include golf travel, where a single trip can easily exceed $2,000 per person.
The bottom line? It’s easy to run over the budget when playing this amazing game. Fortunately for golfers, there are plenty of options for improvement for you bottom lines. Here are five ways to store and save your golf bag with OnCore.
1. Bulk purchase
It doesn’t get easier than this. Buying 2-packs gives you $10 off any of the award-winning balls: AVANT 55, ELIXR 2020, ELIXR 2022, and VERO X1. And if we’re being honest, does anyone really need fewer than twenty golf balls at any given time? There are also significant savings when ordering three and six dozen balls, which leads us to…
2. Free shipping
Any OnCore order of $100 or more qualifies for free shipping. So, for example, let’s say you order two VERO X1 2-Packs. That’s $140 before tax ($20 savings) and free shipping ($10 savings) for a total savings of $30. Or, by our calculations, enough to buy a dozen more ELIXRs. Hurray, 2 packs + free shipping.
3. AVANT 55
The AVANT 55, launched in 2016, was one of our original perimeter weight balls. The two-piece construction and super soft Surlyn cover have helped us keep the price point at $20 a dozen. Golf Digest named the AVANT 55 to its featured list in 2019, and it was also named one of the best golf balls for cold weather. So, if you have a slow to moderate swing speed and are on a tight budget, you can’t beat the AVANT 55.
4. Oncore Club
Launched earlier this year, Golf Tips Magazine has referred to Club OnCore as the “Amazon Prime of Golf.” Well, it may not offer Bosch’s latest season, but the Club OnCore covers nearly every other base for the die-hard golfer. There’s free shipping, customization, sitewide discounts of up to 25%, registration gifts, exclusive access to partner deals, and so much more.
5. OnCore Gear
Over the past year, we’ve added all kinds of OnCore-branded gear to the website, from stand-up bags and travel covers to polos, hats, tees, hole repair kits, and old T-shirts. Soon we will be adding quarter zips, winter hats, hoodies and more. And as a direct-to-consumer company, we cut out the middleman and pass the savings on to our customers.
