Secondhand Golf Club Hunting – Amazing Finds & Deals!
Thomas, The Secondhand Golfer, takes us on another adventure hunting for golf club deals at thrift stores, pawn shops, secondhand golf stores, and big box stores. Here’s what he found:
Thrift Store Finds
- Ping i2 3-Iron ($6) – A great pickup at a low price
- Ping i2 4-Iron ($8) – Would’ve been nice to find a full set, but still a good deal
- Burner 5-Iron & Hogan 8-Iron – Not much else of interest
✅ Verdict: Decent start with some Ping irons at a bargain price.
Pawn Shop Deals
- Big Bertha Alpha Driver ($70) – Interesting shaft (Rogue 110), but not sure about value
- Ladies TaylorMade Driver ($10) – Super cheap, worth grabbing
- Ping 3-Wood ($20) – Maybe too expensive, but a solid club
- Mizuno Tied Fly High Hybrid ($15) – Good pickup
- Cleveland 64° Wedge ($15) – Hard to find, needs cleaning
- Odyssey Metal X Belly Putter ($10) – A crazy deal
- Odyssey Two-Ball Putter ($20) – Great price for a classic putter
💰 Negotiation:
- Retail price for everything: $160
- Counteroffer: $110 ✅ (Almost 50% off!)
✅ Verdict: Could’ve pushed for an even better deal, but still walked away with Odyssey putters and solid clubs at a steal.
Big Box Store (PGA Superstore) Finds
- Lab Link Putter ($225, Retail $450+) – A rare zero-torque blade putter, still selling online for nearly $400
- Mac Daddy Wedge ($22) – Just needed cleaning
- Phil Mickelson Grind 60° Wedge ($50) – A solid wedge find
- New Putters in Stock (Bettinardi Antidotes, TaylorMade Elites, High-Toe Wedges) – Got to try the new Bettinardi Antidote Blade, which felt incredible
✅ Verdict: The Lab Link putter was an absolute steal—will be giving it away on Whatnot!
