Going Frugal

I suspect we'll be getting more letters like this one from Bill Sheehan of Frankfort, IL.

I just read Marty Hackel's article ("Timeless Classics") in the November issue. $677 for a golf outfit??!! I bought an Izod polo for $14.89 at Sam's Club, a pair of Dockers on sale and with a store coupon for $28 at a large retail chain store, a belt at a Hilfiger outlet for $10, pair of sunglasses at a pro shop on sale for $29, a pair of FootJoys on sale at a golf retail shop for $49.99 and received a Callaway hat as a gift. The total: $131.88. I'll take the $545.12 difference and apply it to greens fees.

Thanks, Bill. I've been known to peruse the shelves of T.J.Maxx myself. By the way, you'll see the return of the Frugal Golfer to Golf Digest pages soon. We're all feeling the pinch.
