PLANNING A GOLF HOLIDAY? THE OGIO 2023 TRAVEL COVER IS ON SALE DURING PRIME DAY
Ogio are a leader when it comes to producing some of the best golf travel bags in the game. Read the whole deal story.
In our testing it was seamless to transport thanks to its strong wheels and the other thing to note is it comes with 360º of reinforced foam padding and a skid plate for further abrasion protection, giving the bag extra structure and helps to keep your clubs safe and secure during transit. Additional compression straps surround the exterior of the bag, a design feature that is meant to stop your clubs and other equipment from moving while inside the bag.

REMEMBER TO SIGN UP TO GET THE DEALS
CAN YOU GET A FREE PRIME ACCOUNT FOR PRIME DAY?
Yes, if you've not had a Prime account before, as Amazon offers all new customers a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime. After that you'll be charged £7.99 a month or £79 a year, but you can cancel your Prime account at any time during the trial and you won't be charged.
TIPS FOR FINDING THE BEST PRIME DAY DEALS
The simple answer is yes because of how good the deals are but we do have some small tips that you should be aware of ahead of the day later this year.
1. Use a free trial to shop the Prime Day sale
If you think about it, Prime members are spending £7.99 a month to shop the Prime Day sale. The idea of paying to shop a sale is a bit odd but considering the amazing prices on offer every year, it's a small price to pay. However, if you're a new Prime user, sign up to Prime before Prime Day and you can shop the sale for free with the free 1 month trial.
2. Shop with an Amazon Gift Card
If you have an Amazon Gift Card that you haven't used yet, why not use it in the Prime Day sales? Amazon in the past has also allowed people to 'reload' gift cards as an extra way of saving money but we are yet to confirm if this service will be available in the 2023 sale.
3. Treat yourself to some early deals
Amazon has deals running every single day so if you're in desperate need of a new golf club set, golf bag or golf watch immediately, you can find some cheap prices on the Amazon Daily Deals page. The Prime Day sale will have the lowest prices but it can’t hurt to treat yourself to a lightning deal or two before the big event.

GOOD MORNING!
Thank you Tom and happy Amazon Prime Day everyone! We're gearing up for a fun few days here at Golf Monthly and the team have been scoping out a whole range of excellent deals that you can get your teeth into this Prime Day.
We'll be posting all our favorite deals, promotions and any other cool savings we find throughout the next few days in this live blog and on our Amazon Prime Day Deals Hub so follow along to save yourself some cash!
Let me quickly walk you through one deal that I am actually seriously considering buying. This weekend I was out playing a round of golf with a few friends and my current smart watch died on me.
I've been looking to purchase a new gps golf watch for some time, but have been holding out for the sales and it seems my lucky day has finally come as the excellent Garmin Approach S12 Smart Watch is on sale during Prime Day!
We have really enjoyed testing this sleek and easy-to-use offering in the past and is available right now on Amazon for a £56 saving!
PACKAGE DEALS FOR HIGHER HANDICAPPERS
Golf is a very expensive sport to play and I think utilising sales like Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday can be great ways for every kind of player to retain some extra cash... which they can then use to spend on more golf gear!
I know I'll be looking to jump on some of the golf tech deals we have coming up today, but for higher handicap players, Prime Day can be a fantastic way to help you spend less and get more.
Whether you're just starting out, looking to get a handicap or just fancy a knock around with friends at the weekend, package sets are an excellent way to nab yourself a full set of high quality clubs, and a bag in a hassle-free value price.
While we tend to not see that many package sets cater to lower handicap golfers, the Callaway XR set, which is currently 22 per cent off at Amazon, is a premium quality set for higher handicappers looking to improve.
I actually play with an old set of XR irons and can safely say they are some of the most forgiving, yet powerful clubs I've played with. Equally, I've played with them since I was a 21 handicapper and they've really helped me bring down my scores.
I REALLY LIKE THE LOOK OF THIS DEAL...
Launch monitors don't have to just be for the pros right?!
Golf technology is advancing at a phenomenal rate and amateur players are have been, for a few years, able to get their hands on technology that only really would have been available to Tour professionals in years gone by.
Not any more though as brands are now producing more affordable products that can help deliver the same range of features, perhaps in a condensed package, of some of the top bits of tech in the game.
- Read our full Rapsodo Mobile Launch Monitor Review
I'm referring primarily to launch monitors, which golfers like you and I are now more readily available to buy with many brands now producing much more affordable options that we can utilise to gain insights into how we're swinging the golf ball.
And the Rapsodo, portable launch monitor is one of the best out there right now, in my opinion. Having put it to the test, we thoroughly enjoyed how simple it was to use, set up and link with our smart phone.
It's on offer today for a $200 saving, which is an incredible price, considering what this little gadget can do. It'll record your swing, put shot tracers on your shots and give you accurate data on everything from your ball speed to smash factor.
LIGHTNING DEAL - OGIO TRAVEL COVERS ON OFFER AT AMAZON
Planning a summer golf trip this year? Well it's wise to make sure you've done everything you can to ensure your clubs are well protected before transit.
I've heard many horror stories of golfers losing their clubs and having their drivers snapped in half and I really can't recommend enough the importance of having a good travel case.
Which is why I'm very excited to see the brand new Ogio 2023 Travel Cover on sale during Prime Day.
Having tested many of the brand's recent releases, including the Ogio Travel Cover Mid the brand really are one of the most reliable bag manufacturers out there, with the newer model offering plenty of protection, padding and storage for all your golf clubs.
Check out the full deal below!

TOUR PROVEN WEDGES ON SALE
Sepp Straka dazzled during his final round at the John Deere Classic this weekend, winning the tournament by two shots.
The Austrian, rather amazingly, carded nine birdies and an eagle during his final round and was on track to make a historic 59 on Sunday.
Straka ranks inside the top 20 on the PGA Tour for his approach play, and that might partly be down to the wedges he uses which are currently 15 percent off on Amazon.
They are the Tour proven Cleveland RTX6 ZipCore wedges which I personally have had a lot of fun playing with in the past few years.
These clubs are great for anyone looking for a little more forgiveness from their wedges and are prerfect when it comes to delivering plenty of spin in wet conditions.
The grooves are tacky, offer plenty of traction and Cleveland offer these clubs in a full range of lofts and grinds that will suit a whole range of players.
THE CBX ZIPCORE WEDGE IS ALSO ON SALE!
Looking for a slightly more forgiving wedge? Well the Cleveland CBX ZipCore Wedge, which featured on our 2022 Editors Choice Awards, is also on sale right now at Amazon.
This is an impressive club that I really like the look of. Beginner golfers, and those who might be struggling with the yips in approach to the green, will certainly enjoy the cavity backed design on this sleek club.
I also really liked how grippy the face felt on the ball, with the club able to get right under each shot and shoot the ball up into the air from tighter lies.
Check out our full Cleveland CBX ZipCore Wedge review here!
FOOTJOY SHOES ON SALE
FootJoy produce some of the highest quality golf shoes in the game and I’m a massive fan of some of the options they have available, particularly the excellent Pro SL.
For comfort, style and weatherproofing, there’s a reason why professionals like Tiger Woods trust this brand.
From more traditional options, to sportier offerings, there really are plenty of models available but I’m excited to say that during Prime Day, three fantastic options from the brand are on sale for some very lucrative deals.
The spikeless Pro SL is the top model available at a 24% saving. It is so comfortable to walk in that you’ll feel like you’re gliding around the golf course.
They also pack a lot of stability and support, meaning they’re great for anyone struggling with a foot injury or an achilles problem.
Their understated styling also means they can be nicely paired with a pair ante of outfits too!
Meanwhile, if you’re looking for something a little more traditional, the Wilcox is the shoe for you! It comes with a quintessential design, befitting of some of the more traditional outfits of old. It is one of the best looking spiked golf shoes in the game right now and is on offer at Amazon right now!
Lastly, the sportiest option on sale today is the FootJoy Fuel, which is a versatile golf shoe that I think looks great both on and off the course.
This shoe brings with it plenty of grip, comfort and is also very lightweight - making it the perfect time to buy this shoe, particularly as we're coming into summer!
CAN YOU GET EXTRA DISCOUNTS ON PRIME DAY?
Of course you can!
We've got plenty of coupon discount codes that you can use to add a little extra value to your purchases.
Add them to your order at the checkout!
RICKIE FOWLER'S DRIVER IS NOW ON SALE
How good was Rickie Fowler last week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic by the way? It's been a long time coming for the American, who ended a four-year wait for a win on the PGA Tour in Detroit after he's noticeably struggled with his game.
His last win came at the Waste Management Phoenix Open in 2019 but this year he's turned things around going on to finish inside the top ten on eight occasions while rising to eighth in the FedEx Cup standings.
That may partly be down to some of the new equipment he's been using, including the excellent new Cobra Aerojet LS Driver which is on sale right now at Amazon!
The Aerojet LS is Cobra's low spin offering for their 2023 range of clubs. It offers plenty of power from the tee and thanks to its aerodynamic design, helps players rifle their way through the golf ball, injecting greater speed onto the golf ball.
Fowler seems to have reaped the rewards of this new club, with the American sitting at second on tour for driver efficiency. While this isn't a club that is tailored towards lower handicap players, I certainly recommend any experienced ball striker having a swing with this visually superb model!
WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT OF DRIVERS...
If you're looking for a new driver then today is certainly a good day for you!
There's plenty of deals on Amazon on some of the best new models that have only just been released this year.
Considering how new some of these models are, I'm not expecting these deals to hang around for very long!
Admittedly, drivers are by and large the most expensive clubs to purchase, particularly if you're buying them brand new.
But if you're after the latest and best models, there are savings to be had on the TaylorMade Stealth 2, Cobra Aerojet and Wilson Dynapower drivers - which all feature in our guide to the best golf drivers.
Check out the full range of clubs below!
The first to talk about is the TaylorMade Stealth 2 driver, one of the most hotly anticipated clubs to be released this year following the success of its predecessor, the Stealth driver.
Earning a 4.5-star rating when we took it out for a spin, I think TaylorMade have really refined the package on this driver, which improves and updates the excellent black and red visuals in a glossy package. It is forgiving and packs a lot of punch, which many golfers, from lower handicappers to those looking to break single figures will enjoy.
The Aerojet comes next, and while we've already spoken about this club, I'll add that the standard version of the Aerojet is a more forgiving option compared to the LS. We enjoyed it so much that it's been added to our Editors Choice Awards for 2023!
And the Dynapower driver from WIlson. This is a technologically advanced club that I think really looks the business. It boasts a matte black finish that is combined with some carbon fiber detailinig that gives it plenty of shelf appeal.
While it might not be able to match the two clubs above for speed and launch, it's a great club for anyone looking for a game-improvement driver.
WANT TO REPLENISH YOUR GOLF BALL STOCKS?
If you're like me and you regularly find yourself slicing golf balls left right and centre, you'll know that you need to keep your collection of golf balls well stocked.
I often think buying refurbished lake balls can be a great way to save a lot of money on golf balls for when you're planning on not playing too seriously but still want to play a fairly decent ball like a Titleist Pro V1 or a TaylorMade TP5.
The thing I find about lake balls is they never run true to the real thing, and sometimes, it's perhaps better to play with balls that are fresh from the pack.
So I often find myself bulk buying golf balls during Amazon Prime Day in a bid to get the best value for my investment, save money but also ensure I'm hitting a top-quality offering.
I've been scouring through Amazon today and have found that some of the best golf balls on sale during Prime Day.
MY FAVORITE DEAL OF THE DAY!
So I'm about to hand over to my colleague Dan Parker who will be taking you through the afternoon - but I want to wrap up by bringing you my favorite deal of the day!
I have been getting into golf technology a lot lately and I'm really enjoying playing with the Arccos Caddie Gen3+ Smart sensors. As someone who has long complained about wanting to improve as a golfer but never really kicked on, the new Gen3+ sensors have really helped me take stock and look at where I'm losing opportunities to gain shots around the course.
I think a lot of the team will agree with me that the sensors are some of the best bits of golf tech in the game right now and many players will be able to take advantage of the analytics they offer that delve into stats like your swing speed and average club distances.
So for that reason, with a $40 saving, this is my deal of the day and one I think you should certainly take a look at if you're interested in taking a more analytical approach to your golf.
Right, that's all from me, over to Dan!
More deals to come...
We've already seen some of the best products of 2023 come down significantly in price this week. Now we're into Prime Day proper, expect more lightning deals to arrive throughout the rest of the day and into tomorrow!
Dan's Deal Of The Day
Right, you've seen what my colleagues think the best deal of Prime Day is, so here's mine and it has to be the Rapsodo Launch Monitor, which is now $200 off. For the amount of data points this device offers, it's a great entry point into the portable launch monitor market. The fact you just need a smartphone to get it up and running too shows just how easy it is to use.
5 star product on sale
For something to achieve a five-star rating here at Golf Monthly, it has to seriously impress us. That's exactly what happened when we got our hands on the new Callaway XR package set earlier this year. As package sets go, this has everything. From 14 high-quality clubs to a well-designed carry bag, quality is the word that sprung to mind when we tested it.
The Odyssey putter really stood out to us as a highlight. Now at just a tick of $1000, it's the ideal set for a beginner or experienced golfer looking for a whole new set.
Sign up to Amazon Prime
Of course, to enjoy all the savings on offer around Prime Day, you'll need to be a member of Prime. If you've not signed up before, you can start a 30-day free trial today and take advantage of all of today's great savings for free. Just don't forget to cancel your membership before the 30 days are up!
New deal live!
Here's a fun one that has just gone live on Prime Day. The Alphard CIub Booster V2, a device that turns normal push carts into full remote electric caddies, is now less than $650. I tested the Alphard Club Booster V2 out on the golf course earlier this year and was pleasantly surprised by how much fun and how easy it was to use once assembled. So long as you've got one of the many push carts that are compatible with the device, you're good to go and the Club Booster effectively acts as the back wheels of your push cart. It's certainly a unique product and really does save you a lot of money versus and fully-fledged remote electric caddie.
Best UK Prime Day Deal?
I think this has to be right up there with the best golf deals in the UK this Prime Day, Right now, and still in plenty of sizes, the Skechers Torque Waterproof golf shoes are just £55. Skechers golf shoes are renowned for comfort, and this shoe benefits from a Goga Max insole that offers superb comfort underfoot. As good as half price, this is the lowest we've seen this pair of shoes on Amazon.
Can Prime Day help you play better golf?
There are so many great training aids and practice tools on offer this Prime Day, I think this famous day of Amazon sales can truly help you play better golf this year. Check out some of the best deals on training aids we've seen go live so far.
Huge! Push cart savings flying in this Prime Day
One of our favourite push cart brands over the last few years has been Big Max, and the Autofold FF push cart is benefitting from a Prime Day sale of over 30% off. This particular model has a unique flat folding system that is ideal for storage in small spaces. If you register this purchase with Big Max within 30 days, you'll be able to benefit from a whopping 5-year warranty. Now that's peace of mind.
Another great push cart offer
Another popular push cart has been slashed in price today. This is the Caddytek 4-wheel push cart that has been out for a number of years now and has always made popular with golfers across the world. The one feature that has made it stand out from other push carts over the years is the amount of storage on offer with a compartment in the handle and a miscellaneous storage bag on the back of the chassis offering options to carry as much or as little on course with you.
It's currently over 40% off this Prime Day!
30% OFF OAKLEY SUNGLASSES
Oakley are arguably the biggest sunglasses' brand in the sports world, with their models worn by a number of superstars. Not only do they make some of the best golf sunglasses on the market but, during Prime Day, we have found a few models with 30% off!
The models in question are the Half Jacket 2.0 XL and the Radar Ev Path, sunglasses which feature in our best sunglasses guide and ones which we have previously tested.
ACT QUICK ON THESE PRECISION PRO RANGEFINDER DEALS
Golfers are truly spoilt for choice when it comes to the best golf rangefinders, with Precision Pro one of the most recognized in the department. Now, during Prime Day, you can grab their NX7 and NX9 models with up to 26% off!
These are amongst some of the best budget rangefinders on the market and, with both offering a no-cost lifetime battery replacement, a 90-day no-hassle return, trade-in allowances and a manufacturer's defect warranty in the first two years of ownership, they are extremely good value for money.
WHAT DOES A FORMER PRO RECOMMEND THIS AMAZON PRIME DAY?
Sam De'Ath is a former mini tour player and, on this Amazon Prime Day, he has given his view on the best equipment currently available. Check out his thoughts here and, in this blog, we have picked out just a couple of his favourite deals!
GREAT DEALS ON TECH
We've picked out just some of the best UK and US deals we've spotted on rangefinders and GPS watches!
PGA TOUR SUPERSTORE DEALS
It's not just Amazon who are showcasing some fantastic deals this Amazon Prime Day; PGA TOUR Superstore are also providing golfers with great offers. Most of the deals relate to golf apparel or shoes and, if you spend over $100 then use the code 'SAVE20' below. If you do, you get an extra 20% off your order, as well as free shipping. What's not to love?!
WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR ON PRIME DAY
Obviously, with so many deals being churned out this Amazon Prime Day, it can be difficult to keep up with them all, let alone look out for what indeed is a good deal or not. Below, we have provided a few tips on what to look out for, what to avoid and how to find deals.
Reviews: This may sound like a simple one but the easiest ways to know whether a product is good value for money is by looking at the reviews of the model. Not only that, you can also check whether experts have tested the equipment and what they thought of it. If it's negative, or if there aren't many reviews out there, then it may be best to leave.
Trusted Name: There are many, many companies involved in the golf market and it can be tough to keep up with them all. If you see a product which is from a manufacturer you don't recognize, then research them, they are bound to pop up via Google, or indeed tested by equipment testers.
Lightning Deals: On Prime Day, there will be items on offer that remain throughout the two-day period but, it is also worth looking out for lightning deals on the site. This is where a certain model will receive a huge discount for a set amount of time and, once it's gone, it's gone.
REMINDER
For those scouring through the many Amazon Prime Day deals, it is worth noting that, to access the deals, you must be an Amazon Prime member. If not, then you can currently get a 30-day free trial so you don't miss out!
MATT'S DEAL OF THE DAY
As I sign off from the blog I thought I would share my best deal of the day. Recently, a couple buddies of mine have taken up the game of golf and are really starting to enjoy it. However, the clubs they possessed were hand-me-downs from the 1970s, clubs which even professionals would struggle to hit, such is the tiny sweet spot on them.
Being in their mid-20s, money is tight and the thought of investing $1000s of dollars isn't feasible. Knowing that I worked in the golf industry they asked what's the best way around this and, alongside lessons, a package set is what I recommended, specifically the Strata Men's Package Set, a model which features in our best golf club sets.
Since ordering these sets, they now have an official handicap and regularly get out on the golf course to play. Arguably, a package set is the best way to introduce new golfers to our great game and, with this Strata set, it provides a number of different options, such as a 12, 14 and 16 piece, so there will be something for everybody.
SAM TREMLETT TAKING OVER
Hello everyone, I am Sam, Senior Staff Writer for Golf Monthly and I will be looking to update you on the best deals over the next few hours. For those of you who don't know me, I basically oversee the E-commerce team here so I literally spend most of my time in the world of golf equipment. I've been doing this for several years now and think I can help you find the good stuff you want today, (as well as tell you about the bad stuff to avoid). So let's get to it!
LIGHTNING DEAL LASER
I've been using a laser rangefinder for many, many years now because for me it is the most convenient way of getting the yardage to the flag. This is often to the detriment of my score because I always insist on attacking flags rather than playing the smart shot into the heart of the green... But anyway, both me and Technical Editor Joel Tadman have tested a lot of lasers so we know what's good and what isn't, and the TecTecTec KLYR is at the former end of the spectrum. I know, the name doesn't roll off the tongue but we found the performance to be very good given the more budget-friendly price point. And right now this gets better because there is a lightning deal on it too!
GIFT CARD SALES
I haven't actually made any large Prime Day purchase yet but I think I may have found a contender. Amazon has got as much as 20% off on select gift cards with loads of different brands represented like Uber, GrubHub and many more. The adidas and Fanatics cards in particular are right up my street.
PRICE COMPARISON TOP TIP
As I mentioned earlier, I have been doing this for a number of years now and the more I have done it the easier I find it to predict and spot deals, and remember prices. Of course you guys probably don't do this so a tool I recommend using is called CamelCamelCamel - which basically tracks the price history of products on Amazon. This shows you how cheap a product has been in the past so you can therefore see if something is a good deal or it's just a mediocre sale. I should say it isn't a perfect tool but when finding the best deals it is good to have as many tools in the box right?
Just take the picture above as an example, it tells me the Samsung Galaxy5 Golf Watch is pretty close to being at its lowest price ever. It is 22% off right now by the way.
ADIDAS STEPS IT UP
I just went for a cursory look around the Amazon website and what do we have here, some truly awesome discounts from the famous 3-stripes. There are golf shoes, men's clothing, women's apparel, hats and accessories on offer with discounts getting around the 50% mark. Trust me any time you can get that kind of discount on a brand as good as adidas it is a good day. My personal favorite in there is the 30% off you can get on the adidas EQT golf shoes. I tested those back in May 2022 and they were very, very comfortable indeed (I actually wore them around Augusta National for the 2022 Masters as well - sorry I had to drop that in).
TAYLORMADE NOT TO BE OUTDONE
adidas have great deals on Amazon right now but so do one of the biggest brands in golf, TaylorMade. I've been noticing them in the few days before Prime Day putting Rory's Stealth 2 Plus driver on sale at its lowest price ever, as well as other clubs and golf balls. Additionally I've just spotted they have put further discounts on Spider GT putters. Earlier today the discount number was 28% but this has gone up to 39% right now!
TWO DOZEN GOLF BALL DEAL
Golf Monthly's professional and golf ball expert Sam De'Ath has just messaged me to say there is a Callaway Hex Soft ball deal worth calling out. Amazon has these golf balls with a 25% discount right now which applies to the two dozen box. As such the price goes from $45.99 to $34.39 which really is very good indeed.
The ball delivers a lot of performance for a relatively modest price, and as such, it offers excellent value for money. We should say this is one of Callaway’s distance balls, but one that's billed as also offering excellent feel as well.
Callaway Hex Soft (two dozen): 25% off at Amazon
Callaway Hex Soft (one dozen): 20% off at Amazon
TOUR CALIBER BALL ON OFFER
So earlier today the Mizuno RB Tour golf ball was on offer but clearly that deal was popular because that is no longer the case. But thankfully the RB Tour X model has just gone live with a new discounted price with 25% off.
This model made our guide on the best golf balls because in testing it was an impressive performer in all areas. It gave a strong ball flight in the long game and plenty of greenside stopping power. Additionally Mizuno improved the durability compared to the previous model and all of that makes the X a top quality premium offering.
Mizuno RB Tour X Ball: Was $43 Now $32.25 at Amazon
SPEAKING OF MIZUNO...
The Japanese brand actually has quite a few deals on golf gear at the moment. The balls I just mentioned are very good and it appears there are a number of bag deals too. That top one in particular, the 2021 edition of the K1-L0 is outstanding, sure I know it is a model from a couple of years ago, but its half price on a good golf bag! It is worth saying as well that all three are available in different colors and my favorites are the classic white and blue versions like the model we tested above.
Mizuno 2021 K1-L0 Stand Bag: Was $229.95 Now $112.49
Mizuno 2022 K1-L0 Stand Bag: Was $250 Now $187.50
Mizuno BR-D3 Golf Stand Bag: Was $209.95 Now $153.38
I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS ON OFFER
The Rapsodo Mobile Launch Monitor is our pick for the best budget launch monitor on the market and I still can't believe it is on offer right now. You can get it for 40% off, so around the $300 mark, and when you consider it literally turns your smartphone into a launch monitor, that is a pretty sweet deal.
'A launch monitor for $300?' I hear you ask. Yes and whilst models from Trackman and Foresight costs thousands, this model gives accurate readings across many data points like carry distance, ball speed, club speed, smash factor, launch angle, and launch direction. It is also as portable as launch monitors get.
Rapsodo MLM: Was $499.99 Now $299.99 at Amazon
GREAT PRICE ON COOLEST PUTTER IN GOLF? SIGN ME UP
I know you just asked yourself how can a putter be cool, but I think TaylorMade found a way with the Spider GTX. Just look at the different colors and finishes you can get, they look awesome! I legitimately think I would put any of those into play (and there is also a pink version which I might have to draw the line at...). Performance wasn't just cosmetic though because in testing the alignment aid worked well, the putter had excellent stability and forgiveness, whilst it also offered a firmer feel which we enjoyed. What's great is it looks like all of the different colors are on offer at the moment too, with 29% savings across the board.
TaylorMade Spider GTX: Was $349.99 Now $249.99 at Amazon
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT FROM TODAY? THE NITRON
I really thought we were going to get an outstandingly cheap price on the BagBoy Nitron Push Cart this year. It has been on offer during Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day events before but so far this year the best we got was a 13% discount. That is okay but given how popular we know the cart to be, and how well it performed for us in testing, we expected more. Hopefully Amazon reads this and brings us something better this evening or tomorrow!
BagBoy Nitron Push Cart: Was $319.95 Now $279.95 at Amazon
STILL SOME TOP OF THE RANGE DRIVERS ON SALE
That has been a big plus point this year. I don't think I have seen as many new drivers on sale as I have during this year's Prime Day. As I said, these are new models too, the Stealth 2, Aerojet and Dynapower drivers did not come out that long ago and they are already on offer which is great to see. Also each model on Amazon comes with different loft and shaft options too.
TaylorMade Stealth 2: Was $599.99 Now $504.98 at Amazon
Cobra Aerojet: Was $549 Now $449 at Amazon
Wilson Dynapower: Was $489.95 Now $416.50 at Amazon
SO WHAT IS MY DEAL OF THE DAY?
Now that is a very tricky question to answer. Dan Parker earlier today went for the Rapsodo MLM which really is a great shout, and Matt Cradock went for the Strata men's and women's sets which again, are very good products with significant discounts. But me? Well I have two, one golf related and one not.
My golf related deal is the FootJoy Fuel golf shoe which, depending on size, has a discount of up to 23% right now. This takes its price to around the $100 mark and any time you can get a FootJoy golf shoe for that price is a win. The performance of the shoe is also top-notch.
My non-golf deal is through Amazon Fresh in which you can get buy one get one free on Ben & Jerry's ice cream. I don't really need to say anymore do I, but there are several flavors to choose from. It will have to be the Cookie Dough for me though.
FootJoy Fuel Shoes: Up to 23% off at Amazon
Amazon Fresh: Buy one get one free Ben and Jerry's at Amazon
HANDING OVER TO TOM CLARKE
And that is me done so I am leaving you in the hands of the very capable (perhaps not on the golf course), Tom Clarke. I will leave you with this - there are still deals to be had out there so whatever you are after, we will find it for you.
WHAT'S HAPPENING PARTY PEOPLE?
I am back for another later shift, and will be letting you know of all the latest goings on, and also recapping what has been happening.

PRIME MEMBERS STILL GETTING DISCOUNTS
UK TOP DEALS STILL LIVE
FIRST CHANGE OF SHIFT
Ed Carruthers will be guiding you through the best new deals this morning.
GOOD MORNING!
Welcome to Amazon Prime Day - part 2!
We're back to bring you more excellent deals on all the latest golf deals going live on Amazon so check back here for more!
First let's take a look at a deal I'm really excited about and it's the Cobra LS Driver! Played by Rickie Fowler and many other players on tour this is a fantastic option for any golf looking to add more speed to their game. Check out the 15 percent saving below!
MAKE SURE YOU'RE AN AMAZON PRIME MEMBER
Just a reminder - in order to take advantage of some of these excellent deals you need to be an Amazon Prime member. The thing here is that this won't cost you anything if you sign up to the free trial.
You can then cancel within the 30-day trial period and take advantage of everything Prime has to offer!
I'd recommend doing this particularly if you're planning on buying a lot of stuff from the online retailer in the next month - or if you're just looking to snag a few deals on golf gear!
I'M LOOKING FOR A RANGEFINDER, HE'RE'S WHAT I MIGHT BUY
So I'm getting really into my golf technology at the moment. I've never actually had my own DMD and as a high handicapper, I never really thought it was worth it. Having tried one out on the golf course the other day, I was massively wrong.
I really reaped the rewards of being able to use what was a pretty high caliber laser akin to many of the models you'll find in our guide to the best golf rangefinders and it really helped me zone in with my distances.
If you're on the edge about buying a rangefinder, I think there is a lot to be said about the confidence they can instil that you're hitting the right club for the right distance in front of you. So often as golfers we may find ourselves frustrated for over or under clubbing - particularly as high handicappers - and for that reason a good rangefinder can be worth its weight in gold.
For that reason, below I've set out some of my top pics for the rangefinders available right now on Amazon Prime Day, which I think golfers of all ability levels will enjoy. I think of those options, the Precision Pro NX7 is my favorite for its cool styling.
COMPLETE THE KOEPKA LOOK
I think Brooks Koepka might be one of the most interesting characters in professional golf at the minute.
The American, who earlier this year became the first LIV Golfer to win a Major championship, is in flying form this year and I don't think it'll be long before we see him back in the winning circle at the Majors, or donning that coveted Green Jacket.
The Green Jacket would certainly suit him, but the 32-year-old already does have plenty of style, being sponsored by Nike.
Koepka is regularly seen wearing some of the best nike polo shirts and best nike golf shoes and if you want to run a similar style to the American, then Prime Day might be a great time to stock up on some of his gear.
Save 20% on one of the most stylish pairs of golf shoes we have seen on the professional circuit in 2023https://t.co/nEmAx34rgKJuly 11, 2023
Right now you can get a 20 percent saving on one of the coolest pairs of golf shoes we've seen in the professional circuit of late.
Koepka sported these stunning Nike Zoom Tour Infinity Golf shoes at the Masters and caught the attention of many in the golfing world for their very cool style.
Equally, they offer bags of comfort and plenty of grip, something I really liked about these spikeless shoes when I took them for a test.
Next comes the outfit, and Koepka sports some very trendy Nike golf polos, which are also currently on sale at the PGA TOUR Superstore for a 20 percent saving on orders over $100.
You can pick up one of the excellent Nike Victory Tour Polo shirts, which offer comfort, an excellent fit and plenty of breathability!
While this isn't a prime day deal - it's certainly worth bringing to your attention as the retailer currently has a huge saving on tons of great apparel!
PRIME DAY DRIVER DEALS
We've noticed that some of the latest and best golf drivers are on sale during Prime Day!
The Stealth 2, Cobra Aerojet and Wilson Dynapower are all on sale today - and are currently the LOWEST price I've seen them.
I don't think they'll be staying at this price for long so act fast if you've been eyeing up one of the latest drivers in the game!
FORGET CHAT GPT! WE'VE GOT AN A.I. TOLL THAT'LL TELL YOU THE BEST GOLF DEALS!
Forget Chat GPT! Our friends over at Tom's Guide have done something pretty impressive and have built an artificial intelligence tool that can suss out the best deals for you during Prime Day.
I'm in the market for a new golf bag and figured I'd have a stab at the chat bot and it's given me two excellent deals on the fantastic Callaway Stand Bag which is currently 24 percent off!
Simply type in what you're looking for and let the chatbot do the hard yards for you!
Here's what it told me...
STRUGGLING WITH YOUR PUTTING? WHY NOT PRACTICE AT HOME
I've stumbled upon a pretty massive deal on a product we had the pleasure of testing late last year. Putting is perhaps one of the hardest parts of the game to master. Plenty of shots are lost on the greens, which is why I cannot stress how important it is to keep working on your putting game.
Some of the best putting aids can help you do that, including the excellent ExPutt trainer that will link up with your television to simulate real life putting conditions from the comfort of your own home. Put it this way - we can't always get out onto the course and sometimes picking up your flat stick and having a tap around your carpet isn't going to quite mimic the conditions you'll find on the greens.
But this innovative piece of kit delivers relatively quick feedback on your game, delivering plenty of data on your swing that will give you a better insight to how well you're hitting the ball. You can also analyse the angle of your club path, the impact of the putter on the ball and the speed of the club. We also loved how fun this cool gadget is to use and with it on sale now for a whopping £140 saving, there's no better time to buy the ExPutt trainer!
I'M A HIGH HANDICAP GOLFER - HERE'S WHAT I'M BUYING THIS PRIME DAY
As a high handicap golfer I'm regularly tempted to buy some of the top spec models that may not quite be suitable for my swing. While there's nothing wrong with buying a premium set of clubs, those who are a little less experienced may want to think carefully about their club choices and instead go for something that might offer a little more forgiveness and assistance around the course.
That also goes for some of the best golf balls for high handicappers. Generally, those at the top order of the handicap scale may want to go for balls that might be a little less expensive than some of the premium offerings in the game - which typically tend to give players a little more help, power and launch angle on the golf course.
So, I've been scoping out some deals on Prime Day and I've picked out a few of my top picks on clubs, balls and a couple of pieces of golf tech, that are all great options for high handicap players that can help you improve!
ANOTHER USER-FRIENDLY PACKAGE SET IS ON SALE
We've seen plenty of package sets go on sale in the last 48 hours but this one might be my favorite so far.
Having put the excellent Launcher XL Clubs to the test, Cleveland have designed and built a premium club package set that is perfect for any less-experienced players looking for a game improvement club set that offers plenty of forgiveness and performance.
Offering up plenty of usability and some excellent visuals, I think a range of golfers will enjoy what's on offer in this very smart package that is on sale at 13% off.
BIG DEALS ON CLEVELAND CLUBS
And while I'm on the subject of Cleveland, I've spotted some great deals on a range of their clubs that many golfers will enjoy!
The brand are well known for producing some of the best golf wedges in the game (I'm biased because I love my old and rusty RTX 3) with the brand's patented ZipCore clubs being ranked among some of the best chippers around.
The relatively new RTX 6 is a comprehensive wedge that delivers plenty of traction behind the ball, that mid-handicap and lower hadnicap players will be able to benefit from. Equally, Cleveland's more forgiving wedge option, the CBX ZipCore wedge is more suitable for those struggling with the yips around the greens and is a perfect option for any higher handicap player thanks to its cavity backed clubhead. The good news is both are on sale during Prime Day!
There are also savings to be had on the visually excellent Cleveland Huntington Beach Soft putter, which I think might be one of the best mallet putters in the game right now. Cleveland says it uses speed optimised face technology to help ensure consistent speed control and distance performance around the greens and I think this is a great option for anyone looking for a forgiving yet high-performing golf putter. Check out the 18 percent saving on it below!
REMINDER - HEAD TO OUR PRIME DAY DEALS HUB
https://t.co/weueyurXEpJuly 11, 2023
A reminder to check out our Amazon Prime Day Deals Guide where we have plenty of new deals dropping throughout the day!
I ASKED A CHATBOT WHAT THE BEST DEALS FOR HIGH HANDICAP PLAYERS WERE - HERE'S WHAT IT TOLD ME!
High handicappers! I'm back with some more deals for you! But this time they've been provided by our A.I. chatbot, built by our friends over at Tom's Guide!
The chatbot is a seriously intelligent piece of kit that I really recommend you use if you're looking for a niche piece of kit.
So what did I ask it?
Well, firstly I asked it to tell me the best deals on golf clubs for high handicap players. Here are the results!
The chatbot thinks that the Wilson Men's Ultra Plus Package Set and the Wilson Women's Ultra Plus Package Set are the two best offerings for less experienced golfers, and I couldn't agree more! These are excellent, durable and stylish club sets that are both very easy to use. The women's set includes nine clubs that provide plenty of forgiveness from a range of lies and can be stored in a large, easy-to-use carry bag that will keep your clubs safe and secure too!
I'm running a bit low on golf balls too so I wanted to see if there were any deals available on any top golf ball models.
Here is what it told me!
GOLF BALLS FOR A £1 EACH? YES PLEASE
Cheap golf balls are hard to come by, but right now Amazon are currently offering just over a £1-per-ball on the excellent 2022 TaylorMade RBZ Soft golf balls.
This is a really popular low compression golf ball that is great for those looking for a little extra punch off the tee. During testing, the big plus point we found about these glf balls is that they feel really nice against the clubface. I felt they offered plenty of grip and seemed to deliver a lot of responsiveness off both the driver, putter and through my irons.
Right now at Amazon, you can get a pack of 36 for as little as £33.99 - a saving of £21!!
ED'S DEAL OF THE DAY!
Right I'm about to jump off for the day, but before I go I'm going to give you my deal of the day which has to be Rickie Fowler's driver, the Cobra Aerjoet LS which is on sale for a 15 percent saving!
After Fowler ended his four year winning drought using this club a little over a week ago, I think this club is one of the best deals on Amazon right now and is perfect for any confident ball striker looking to hit bombs on the fairway.
The Aerojet LS is Cobra's low spin offering for their 2023 range of clubs. It offers plenty of power from the tee and thanks to its aerodynamic design, helps players rifle their way through the golf ball, injecting greater speed onto the golf ball.
Fowler seems to have reaped the rewards of this new club, with the American sitting at second on tour for driver efficiency. While this isn't a club that is tailored towards lower handicap players, I certainly recommend any experienced ball striker having a swing with this visually superb model!
- Check out our full Cobra Aerojet LS Review here!
OVER TO SAM!
That's all from me for now but I'll be leaving you in the hands of our Staff Writer Sam De'Ath who'll be taking you through the afternoon!
GOOD AFTERNOON!
Hey everyone! I'm Sam and for those that don't know me, I'm a Staff Writer here at Golf Monthly focusing on equipment. I specifically look after content based around fairway woods, hybrids, utility irons and more recently golf balls.
I'll be on here for the first half of this afternoon to bring you some of the best deals I can find during Amazon Prime Day. Let's get into it!
SPIDER ALERT!
Even though I don't personally deal with too much putter testing, I'm a putter nerd and love tinkering with different putters. I tested this TaylorMade Spider GTX earlier in the year and it felt so good!
The role off the face is as good as any of the best putters on the market right now and it felt so stable through my stroke. The fact this putter is currently $100 off is insane and one that might even see me make a purchase so I can have it back in my bag!
WHAT WOULD A FORMER MINI-TOUR PRO PURCHASE ON PRIME DAY?
As a former professional golfer here's some of the deals on Amazon Prime Day that I feel are 100% worth taking advantage of.
First up, the golf ball is the only piece of equipment used for every shot and having one that suits your game is imperative to shooting better scores. The Mizuno Tour RB X golf ball is one of the best premium golf balls on the market and is ideal for those with faster than average swing speeds, or those looking to take off a little spin.
Having a good rangefinder or one of the best GPS devices on the market will help you dramatically lower your scores on the course. I have played with so many amateurs who think they are accurate eye-balling the flag to gauge distance and while somehow some golfers are...most are not! Knowing how far you have to pins or more importantly hazards will save you a lot of strokes.
The precision NX7 Laser Rangefinder is now 20% off and is one of the best laser rangefinders available, especially at the price of $159.
Lastly, having a pair of shoes that are comfortable and make you look good will make you play better golf. Look good, feel good, play good am I right? While some of the best golf shoes are not always some of the most comfortable golf shoes, the FootJoy Premiere Series Wilcox golf shoes look so smart and are extremely comfortable thanks to the premium leather used. A huge 20% off these 'Premiere' shoes (excuse the pun) is a deal worth taking advantage of while you can!
BORED WHILE PRACTICING? CHECK THIS OUT
Let's be honest, standing on our local range isn't quite the same as shelling balls at Augusta National's, with beautifully constructed greens and bunkers out there to avoid, I honestly think I would never want to leave if I had the chance of visiting.
Hitting a bucket of balls can be fairly monotonous, but the Rapsodo Launch Monitor is the kind of device that can provide you with so much more purpose while practicing. This device is one of the best portable launch monitors on the market and is currently 40% on Amazon. If you want to spice up your practice and gain valuable data as to how far you're hitting each club, this offer is certainly worth considering.
DRIVE IT LIKE RORY!
Disclaimer: This product doesn't give you freakishly fast swing speed like Rory McIlroy, but it more than likely will add on a few yards and thanks to the Twist Face technology and loft sleeve, will have you hitting more fairways.
You may have seen earlier my colleague Ed, referenced the Cobra Aerojet driver as his deal of the day, well I think this one is equally as good!
The Stealth 2 Plus is undoubtedly one of the best driver models in the game right now, with the likes of Scottie Scheffler and Tommy Fleetwood also using it out on the PGA Tour and if it's good enough for the world number one to use, it's probably good for you as well! At $70 off these won't be available for long, so move fast if you're in the market for one.
There are a few other TaylorMade products on sale today as well and so I've listed a few below for you to check out.
GOLF TRIP ANYONE? TRAVEL BAGS UP TO 15% OFF
If you're lucky enough to be off traveling for a golf trip soon, then you're going to want your clubs to arrive safely. Having one of the best golf travel covers will help you do this but a little pro tip, if you have adjustable drivers and woods, take the heads off the shafts and store them in the head covers in your golf bag. Just remember to bring a wrench with you to put the heads back on when you arrive...If you have done this and forgotten one before, I feel your pain.
Ogio are one of the best in the business when it comes to travel bags and we have seen various offers popping up over the last few days, ranging from 6-15% off. They also make some of the best golf stand bags and cart bags, so if you see their product at a discounted offer, it's well worth snapping up. Much like any other premium product, they do come with a premium price tag, although I'm sure you'll agree, getting your clubs to their destination in one piece is worth every penny or dollar for my U.S friends on here!
If you're after a more affordable travel bag, IZZO are a reputable brand with a travel bag for as little as $42 today on Amazon, ideal for more short haul flights.
WHO'S YOUR BET'S ON FOR THE OPEN?
Justin Thomas is one of my shout's to make a move and rasie the Claret Jug this year at Hoylake. Having had the pleasure of watching 'JT' in person a few times, I believe he has the shot making ability and touch with the short game to pick up his third Major win at The Open.
One thing I have noticed about Thomas and Rickie Fowler is that over the past year or so they have been wearing Oakley sunglasses to protect them from the sun when on the course every day.
During Amazon Prime Day, which ends today if you weren't aware, you can pick up a pair of Oakley Half Jacket 2.0 XL sunglasses for as little as $91. These are some of the best sunglasses on the market and that's a huge saving of up to 30% off and well worth taking advantage of, especially if you play most of your golf in the sun.
We can only hope the sun shines in Liverpool next week at The Open, where the winner of the 151st Open Championship will be decided.
HOW YOU CAN PLAY 18 HOLES INSIDE YOUR LIVING ROOM...
Yes you heard that correctly, you can now make a full swing at maximum power in the comfort of your own home with the Phigolf 2 Portable Simulator. A device that is easily one of the best golf gadgets in my opinion.
This excellent product is currently 35% off on Amazon which is saving you $70, a price I'm sure you would agree is worth paying for a better golf swing!
This device is ideal for those days where heading to the driving range after work is far too much effort or perhaps some bad weather has rolled in but you want to keep working on your game at home.
Easy to set up via bluetooth, this simulator allows you to play bucket list courses in front of your eyes on the T.V. The level of feedback is superb as it offers details such as clubhead speed, swing tempo and shot distance.
While it may not be as accurate as some of the best launch monitors on the market, it is a fraction of the price and provides hours of enjoyment at easy access.
A DEAL SPECIFICALLY FOR THE WOMEN FOLLOWING ALONG!
Rose Zhang is one of the most talked about golfers on the planet right now, largely due to winning her professional debut on the LPGA Tour and after just three starts she is in the automatic qualifying places for the American Solheim Cup team.
Rose is supported by major brands such as Callaway and Adidas who make some of the best women's golf clubs and best women's golf clothes and they happen to have some great deals for women on Amazon Prime Day!
The Adidas women's Summervent is not only one of the best women's golf shoes, but also one of most comfortable women's golf shoes. You can snag a pair for just under 50% off on Amazon today!
The Callaway Hex Soft golf balls are balls that offer so much performance for the value, especially when you can now get them at 28% off. These balls offer superb distance off the tee and with your irons, while also feeling super soft when chipping and putting like all the best golf balls to make it easy to score. What's not to love about that?
MAKING WAY FOR MATT
That's all from me this afternoon! I hope you've managed to find some deals that will help your golf one way or another, but for now I'll pass you on to Matt Cradock.
THANKS SAM AND HELLO EVERYONE
Good morning, afternoon and evening to all, Matt Cradock here to take you through the next three hours of Amazon Prime Day coverage. Currently, there are still deals out there, with Prime Day ending TONIGHT at 11:59pm BST on Wednesday July 12th.
DRESS LIKE THE OPEN CHAMP
Next week, Cameron Smith will defend his Open Championship title at Hoylake and, currently, you can grab his Penguin Original apparel with some huge discounts! The brand is known for producing some superb and stylish garments, with Smith's apparel now cheaper than ever on the Original Penguin website. All you have to do is use the code OPEXTRA30 at checkout to secure a 30% discount.
PUTTING SAVES SHOTS
When out on the course, it's normally on the greens where you can save shots! Put it this way, how many times have you hit the green with a glorious approach and then walked off frustrated because you three-putted. Arguably, putting is the simplest part of the golf game and, with multiple putting aids available this Amazon Prime Day, there is so much available to help you improve.
We have looked through Amazon and actually found two items that we have tested. Not only have we tested them, but they are now reduced greatly, with the Perfect Practice Perfect Putting Mat now 37% off and the PuttOut Premium Pressure Putt Trainer 25% off.
WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR ON PRIME DAY
Obviously, with so many deals being churned out this Amazon Prime Day, it can be difficult to keep up with them all, let alone look out for what indeed is a good deal or not. Below, we have provided a few tips on what to look out for, what to avoid and how to find deals.
Reviews: This may sound like a simple one but the easiest ways to know whether a product is good value for money is by looking at the reviews of the model. Not only that, you can also check whether experts have tested the equipment and what they thought of it. If it's negative, or if there aren't many reviews out there, then it may be best to leave.
Trusted Name: There are many, many companies involved in the golf market and it can be tough to keep up with them all. If you see a product which is from a manufacturer you don't recognize, then research them, they are bound to pop up via Google, or indeed tested by equipment testers.
Lightning Deals: On Prime Day, there will be items on offer that remain throughout the two-day period but, it is also worth looking out for lightning deals on the site. This is where a certain model will receive a huge discount for a set amount of time and, once it's gone, it's gone.
AWAY FROM AMAZON
Along with Amazon Prime Day, there are also several sites providing deals on golf products. Currently, PGA TOUR Superstore have some eye-catching offers on some of the best golf shoes and apparel, with the store offering 20 percent off when you spend $100 or more using the code 'SAVE20' at checkout.
MATT'S DEAL OF THE DAY
Having tested the Cobra Ultradry Pro 2023 Stand Bag, I know the quality that Cobra stand bags possess. Now, in the Prime Day sale, you can grab the Ultralight Stand Bag with 25% off for under $170.
In our testing, we gave it 4.5 stars out of 5, with the 5-way top making for excellent club organisation, whilst the pockets are spacious and well thought out. Put simply, it is a lightweight, well-designed stand bag that can easily double as a cart bag too. One of the best golf stand bags on the market, it's rare that you will see it cheaper!
PASSING OVER TO SAM
Well, those three hours have flown by and it is now time to pass over to the capable hands of Sam Tremlett, who will take you through the remaining hours of this Amazon Prime Day...
SAM TREMLETT TAKING OVER
Cheers Matt, good shout for your deal of the day post, that Cobra bag is excellent. Well for those of you who don't know me I am Sam, Senior Staff Writer here and I pretty much spend all my time with golf equipment. I am here for the next few hours and just something to be aware of, it looks like stuff is starting to sell out so if you see something you're interested in, don't wait too long because you might miss out.
ROUND UP - GOLF SHOE DEALS
Given we are approaching the end of Prime Day I think it is best if I give you some round ups of the best deals for specific categories. First up is shoes and despite Amazon often displaying funky prices and not having the best user experience when picking sizes/colors, there are still some very good deals on models from well-trusted brands like adidas and FootJoy.
ROUND UP - PACKAGE SETS
I spend most of my time looking after our Buying Guides and testing product and one area I have noticed incredible popularity is in the package sets section of the golf market. It seems like a lot of people want to tick off a lot of boxes in one purchase which definitely makes sense to me. Importantly it seems like lots of big brands recognize this as well. Brands like Callaway and Wilson have spent time and money making sets that actually perform well so the golfer isn't actually compromising on performance on the course when using the sets. Additionally retailers like Amazon knock off big discounts on these sets, making the value even greater as you can see below.
ROUND UP - GOLF BALL DEALS
Moving on to golf balls, and we always see a lot of good deals in this section but the hard bit is knowing which are the best ones, and which models of golf ball are actually good. At Golf Monthly we really can help here because we test a lot of different models from A LOT of brands (seriously I have lost count of the brands we review golf balls on). Below I have picked out a couple of the best deals in the US and the UK but if you want more then be sure to read my colleague Sam De'Ath's piece from earlier today. He literally tests golf balls for a living and he picked out his favorite deals.
ROUND UP - TECH DEALS
As you would expect, golf tech is also a rich source of deals and big discounts as well. We tend to see watches and rangefinders on offer, (in 2023 we noticed that some went on and off sale extremely quickly - like the TecTecTec KLYR), but we also see the occasional launch monitor or simulator on offer as we well. I have collated three of my top picks below.
ROUND UP - ACCESSORIES
We golfers know that we can accumulate accessories very easily right? Umbrella, training aids, sunglasses, ball marker, pitch repairer, tees, towels and so on. The list can be endless so it is always worth having a look around on Amazon for when you can get good deals on them. The more money you can save here, the more you can put into the big ticket items like clubs, balls and shoes. Therefore below are my three favorite deals - some Oakley shades that are fantastic, a putting mat used by Dustin Johnson, and a Cobra bag which was my colleague Matt's deal of the day earlier.
ROUND UP - TAYLORMADE DEALS
One brand that has really stepped up this year is TaylorMade, or at least Amazon has decided to make a whole load of the brand's products on sale. If you know your golf, TaylorMade requires little explanation - it is one of the biggest brands in the sport. If you don't know much about them, well, put simply Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa and Nelly Korda use the brand's equipment and they are the biggest names in the sport. We have tested a lot of gear from them over the years and what was so incredible about the deals this year was brand new clubs went on offer - such as the Stealth 2 and Spider GT ranges. Here is my round up of the best deals from TaylorMade.
SOME PRIME DAY STATS FOR YOU
I have just read some interesting numbers. According to Adobe Inc., U.S. consumers have spent $6.4 billion online in the first 24 hours of Prime Day. That's a 6% increase versus last year. According to research firm Numerator, the average Prime Day order size in 2023 is $56.64, which is also 7% up from last year! I am yet to see some golf-specific stats though but I wouldn't be surprised if they have gone up as well. I have seen a lot of deals on golf equipment sell out over the last couple of days.
WHEN DOES PRIME DAY END?
Right you may have scanned over everything else I have written but THIS BIT IS IMPORTANT!
Prime Day lasts precisely 48 hours. In the U.S. it started at midnight PT on Tuesday (July 11), and will end at 11:59 p.m. PT today (Wednesday, July 12), which is 2:59 a.m. ET tomorrow (Thursday, July 13).

ROUND UP - CLEVELAND DEALS
Like TaylorMade, Cleveland is another brand that has had loads of really good deals during Prime Day this year, and once again there is a mixture of new clubs on offer, with slightly older models. For example getting a discount on the RTX-6 wedge is awesome because it is so new and Tour-proven, whilst the Launcher Halo XL irons have been out for a year or so. Regardless the discounts are very punchy indeed and we like that!
TWO LAST-MINUTE RANGEFINDER DEALS
At last some new deals! There really hasn't been a lot of new stuff to shout about today because all the deals that went live yesterday carried over into today. But at last we have a couple of new ones in the form of two lasers from Blue Tees and Nikon. We have tested models from both brands over the years and the performance is pretty much always good. The Nikon model below in particular nearly got five stars in our review and it is one of the best rangefinders with slope on the market.
ROUND UP - CALLAWAY DEALS
Another brand that I want to highlight is Callaway. The depth and variety of products the company makes is worth acknowledging, and then the discounts on those products is excellent too. Package sets, clubs, balls, rangefinders, it covers them all to a high standard. One thing I will say about the Callaway deals I have picked out below, definitely have a tinker with the different options Amazon displays because there are different discounts on different models. For example the Mavrik driver I included below is 25% off for a right handed model with nine degrees of loft and an Aldila shaft. But selecting other options means the discount isn't as large, so have a play with the specifications.
HANDING OVER TO TOM CLARKE
And that is me over and out for Amazon Prime Day 2023. Before we know it, it will be Black Friday with bigger and better deals I reckon....
Anyway let me handover to Tom Clarke.
