RARE BLACK FRIDAY SALE
This is something we’ve rarely seen before! Stewart Golf are offering 20% off its entire fleet (opens in new tab) this Black Friday. And if you’ve not heard of Stewart Golf, they are one of the best trolly manufacturers in the game with their Q Follow cart being one of the most extraordinary pieces of golf equipment on the market.
Taking the term ‘golf gadget’ to the next level, this autonomous golf trolley will follow you round the course thanks to its ‘Follow’ remote that slips into your back pocket. We had the pleasure of putting it through its paces fairly recently and were enamoured (opens in new tab) by how cool this piece of tech is.

STOCK UP ON GOLF BALLS DURING BLACK FRIDAY
Golf balls don’t come cheap and if you’re like me and end up swiping at least four or five into the bushes and the water hazards around your local track, then the golf ball game can be a really expensive business. But that’s where Black Friday can work as your ally, particularly if you enjoy playing with a premium model like some of the balls featured on our guide to the best golf balls (opens in new tab).
I’ve been hunting out some of the best Black Friday golf ball deals (opens in new tab) and have set out a couple of my top finds for you below. One of my biggest favorites is the 24% saving on the Wilson Staff Tour Velocity balls, that offer excellent distance off the tee. Check them out below!
GOLF MONTHLY MAGAZINE IS NOW HALF PRICE
The oldest golf magazine in the world is now offering a 54% discount (opens in new tab) on a two-year subscription! And I know we’re plugging our own material, but let’s face it, the Golf Monthly magazine is one of the best on the market, with our writers filling its pages with a ton of exclusive features, instruction pieces and hints and tips on how to play better golf each and every month. PLUS, if you subscribe to the magazine on Black Friday, you’ll also get a free pack of Srixon Z-Star Golf Balls thrown in for free!
SECOND HAND CLUB SAVINGS
Let’s face it, golf isn’t the cheapest sport in the world. Whether you’re an experienced player or someone new to the game, it’s fair to say that golf clubs, balls and equipment doesn’t come cheap. One of my favorite ways to get around that is by buying refurbished second-hand gear. Personally I love buying used Pro V1 lake balls – although half of mine end up back in the lake! You can also save a fortune on purchasing refurbished golf clubs, which can save you a ton of money as opposed to buying a brand new golf club outright. And this Black Friday, GolfClubs4Cash (opens in new tab) have some excellent savings on all kinds of second hand golf gear. So check them out below!
Black Friday: 20% off all used clubs at GolfClubs4Cash https://t.co/96PrB2zGV1November 25, 2022
… AND WHILE WE’RE TALKING ABOUT PROFESSIONAL GOLFERS, YOU CAN SAVE UPTO 51% ON JORDAN SPIETH’S APPAREL AT UNDER ARMOUR
The former Master’s champion always seems to look very cool on the course! And there’s no wonder why considering he is sponsored by world renowned athletics brand Under Armour. So why not also get the Spieth look and take advantage of some of the fantastic savings on the brand’s website, where you’ll be able to get upto 51% off (opens in new tab) on everything from trainers to fleeces!

BIG DISCOUNTS ON JON RAHM AND CAM SMITH’S APPAREL
There’s no wonder why Jon Rahm wears TravisMathew clothing and Cam Smith sports Original Penguin. Both brands are leaders when it comes to golf style and right now have some enormous savings available on their websites. TravisMathew are offering up to 60% on all their golf clothing, while Original Penguin are also offering a hefty 40% saving. Check them out at the links below!

WHAT MAKES A GOOD BLACK FRIDAY GOLF DEAL?
So what do we look out for when sourcing deals during the Black Friday Sales? Price is obviously a big consideration in all the products we add to our Best Black Friday Golf Deals guides (opens in new tab), but perhaps the most important thing we look out for is products that we would want to buy and use as golfers.
The Golf Monthly team is made up of a range of golfers, each differing in their abilities, skill-sets and the type of courses they like to play. So when selecting our favorite Black Friday deals, there’s a lot of variation in the kinds of products we pick. The underlining point remains though; we like to pick products that we see value in and products we’d enjoy using on the course. In fact, myself and Sam Tremlett (opens in new tab) were just talking about how much we like the adidas Rain.RDY Full Zip Jacket (opens in new tab) posted below.
Another important consideration we like to look out for is the age of the product on offer. Golf manufacturers are regularly updating and improving the range of discounted products available and that often means retailers are putting on clearance sales on some of their older gear.
The way to spot a clearance deal is by looking at the range of sizes and colors on offer. If there are only a few colorways and sizes, then you may have found yoruself a clearance sale. But if you find a newer product on sale, like the TaylorMade Spider GT Single Bend Putter (opens in new tab) that released earlier this year, then you’re on to a winner!

CYBER MONDAY IS FAST APPROACHING
While there are plenty of Black Friday deals still live, we’re starting to see some NEW Cyber Monday Deals cropping up online. Here are three of my early favorites…
RIGHT… LET’S TALK PUTTERS AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE TAYLORMADE PUTTERS IS CURRENTLY ON SALE
As I mentioned below, I’m currently using the TaylorMade Spider GT Putter and it is currently on offer for a HUGE $100 saving at Dick’s Sporting Goods. Released earlier this year, the Spider GT is TaylorMade’s newest iteration of the Spider putter range, delivering excellent forgiveness thanks to its high MOI and brilliant weighting. I can’t speak highly of this putter enough and for a $100 saving you’ll be bagging yourself a mega deal!
PLUS, if you didn’t want to spend $249 on one of the best putters on the market, it’s previous iteration, the TaylorMade Spider Tour Putter is also available for a $100 saving at Dick’s Sporting Goods too! It comes in at a slightly cheaper $199, and is an excellent putter that has been used on tour by the likes of Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson. Check it out below!
Evening All!
Hello and good evening everyone! Eddie Carruthers taking over from Dan on the Live Blog! Don’t think I properly got a chance to introduce myself last night, but I’m one of Golf Monthly’s freelance writers, working to bring you the best deals and golf content in the business. I also work as a sports journalist with the MailOnline and play off a handicap of 19. Right now I’m running a set of Callaway XR Irons, with an M2 driver, Fairways, and a Spider GT Putter.
Over the next hour, I’ll be bringing you some of the best Black Friday Golf Deals that are STILL on offer. So sit back and let us know what you’ve bought this sales season on Twitter, via our handle @GolfMonthly (opens in new tab)!
STILL GREAT DEALS ON RANGEFINDERS
Rangefinders have been a very popular product for golfers to pick up this Black Friday. Shot Scope has two very impressive lasers on offer at Dick’s Sporting Goods (opens in new tab), with the LX+ Rangefinder being one of the most unique and futuristic lasers we’ve had the pleasure of testing (opens in new tab). Working as a 2-in-1 piece of kit, it doubles as a rangefinder and a GPS shot tracking system, featuring a fantastic little touchscreen display below its eye-piece!
EXCELLENT FOOTJOY DEALS
There’s been a swathe of great apparel and shoe deals from FootJoy. I’ve highlighted my favorite one below, the Pro/SL 2020 golf shoe for under $100 – great value for money. It’s still available in seven different colors and plenty of sizes still available.
STEWART GOLF HAVING A RARE SALE
Golf trolley manufacturer Stewart Golf (opens in new tab)is having a rare sale for US and UK golfers. This Black Friday, the brand is offering 20% off its entire fleet. This includes the Q Follow, Q Remote, X10 Follow, X10 Remote, and R1-S Push Cart. Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to pick up a Stewart Golf trolley for a cut price.

CYBER MONDAY SPOT
Looking through deals on Amazon, we have spotted that its main hub is now advertising offers for Cyber Monday! At Golf Monthly, we will also be covering Cyber Monday (opens in new tab), just like we are with the Black Friday weekend and will be updating you with the latest deals and offers when they come in.
GAMING FAN?
The PS5 (opens in new tab) is notoriously hard to get hold of at the moment, but you can now check out the best deals on the console with this widget below! Also, to complete the set-up, why not add the brand-new Tiger Woods game to your basket!
GOLF SHOE DEALS
Dan Parker has tested over 20 pairs of golf shoes throughout 2022 and, in the Black Friday sale, a number of those models are in fact on offer! Below, we have listed just a few that are reduced, with Dan compiling a full list for readers here. (opens in new tab)
ADIDAS GIFT CODE IS NOW $10 OFF
We love adidas here at Golf Monthly, with the company producing some of the best golf shoes (opens in new tab) and best golf polo shirts (opens in new tab) anywhere on the market. Currently, at BestBuy.com, you can grab yourself a $50 gift code for $40 in the Black Friday sale, making it a perfect birthday or Christmas present!
DEAL ROUNDUPS
A bit of an update from me on what the other members of the Golf Monthly team have written today.
Dan Parker found a deal on some PXG irons with over £3,000 off (opens in new tab), and picked out his favorite golf shoe deals (opens in new tab) still live currently. (Here is the golf shoe guru so knows his stuff here).
Matt Cradock has compiled some premium putter deals (opens in new tab) including models from Odyssey, TaylorMade and Evnroll.
Ed Carruthers has also put together a guide on the best golf ball deals (opens in new tab) for those people who want to stock up.
And finally I looked at the best PS5 and PGA Tour 2K23 package deals (opens in new tab) for those people who want the console with a new golf game.
PREMIUM CALLAWAY BALLS WITH 30% OFF
This may be the previous generation Chrome Soft X golf ball, but it is still a top performer in the premium golf ball realm. If you need a golf ball with a lower ball flight off the tee, a ball that excels in short game control, and more ball speed off the face, then this could be a model to try. Right now you can get a dozen for only £27.99 which is 30% off.
OAKLEY DEALS STILL LIVE
(Image credit: Future)
Oakley are always a brand to offer good deals and this year is no different with many golf models with 50% off. The Portal X is the pick of the bunch at the moment and our Technical Editor Joel Tadman loved them in testing. At the time he said;
‘Sunglasses can play an important part not only in protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays but also allowing golfers to see the subtle details required to hole crucial putts and the Oakley Portal X are one of the best pairs on the market this year. Stylish, comfortable and durable, they fit well and provide that all important off-course versatility.’
GREAT DEAL REMINDER
Here is a quick reminder on a couple of great deals we spotted on Walmart yesterday. You can get Dustin Johnson’s fave putting mat (in a couple of different forms), with up to 40% off.
GIFT CARDS MAKE GREAT GIFTS
If you don’t know what to get the golfer in your life then a gift card may be the best way around this. That way you make sure the person gets something they definitely want or need. American Golf currently has gift cards ranging from £5 all the way up to £500 so you can spend as much as you like.
SOME PUTTER DEALS FOR YOU
I need a new putter, me and the Scotty Cameron are not getting on so I have been looking at putter deals often over the last few days. Below are three top picks I have spotted with the Spider GT being a contender for my bag at the moment.
ADIDAS EXTENDS BLACK FRIDAY SALE
As expected most retailers are extending Black Friday sales into the weekend and adidas has done the same. You can get as much as 60% off at the moment (opens in new tab) and there are currently around 200 products in the Black Friday golf section. This includes men’s, women’s and kid’s products.
SCOTTSDALE GOLF SALE EXTENDED
Just had an email through and it looks like Scottsdale Golf’s Black November sale has been extended. There have been new deals added and you can also get 20% off full price clothing and footwear for this weekend only! You have to use ‘BF20’ at our checkout.
THREE OF OUR FAVE LASER DEALS
Lots of rangefinders are still on offer today and three of our favorites come from Amazon and Rock Bottom Golf. Nikon, GolfBuddy and Precision Pro are three well-known brands and we have enjoyed the performance of all three models below in testing. We think you’ll like them as well, especially given the discounts available.
NEW DRIVERS ON OFFER
(Image credit: Future)
A few posts ago I talked about how you can get older drivers for discounted prices, but you can also get new models with money off as well. For example the Rogue ST range of drivers from Callaway have 50 bucks off on most models on Amazon.
20% OFF SITEWIDE ON STEWART GOLF
Part of what the brand is calling ‘The Glitch’, you can get 20% off sitewide (opens in new tab) in both the United States and UK at Stewart Golf. This includes deals on carts, bags and accessories.
TIPS TO MAKE SURE YOU GET THE DEALS YOU WANT
The Black Friday specific day may have been and gone but as we have shown there are still plenty of deals out there so our tips below should help you make sure you get the products you want.
1. First things first, work out what gaps you have in your golfing setup. Then you can buy accordingly because there are deals on every bit of golf gear you can think of.
2. Use trusted retailers and brands. There are a lot of random websites and retailers that offer products that are not very good. So we would recommend sticking with brands you know and trust, and use us as a guide on what is a good deal and what isn’t.
3. Don’t panic buy. What I mean here, is when you see a deal, make sure you go to some other retailers to see how it is priced elsewhere. Also it can be easy to want to strike immediately when you see a deal, but sometimes waiting can mean you get the product slightly cheaper. For example waiting a day meant the Puma shoes I mentioned earlier went down by £20 so be patient. This is particularly valid given Cyber Monday is coming up soon.
DAN PARKER’S FAVE SHOE REDUCED FURTHER
Yesterday shoe guru Dan Parker was waxing lyrical about the Puma Ignite Articulate shoes and how good they were. To his joy they were reduced from £130 to around £90 which he said was a great deal, especially given the choice of colors and sizes. Well this morning he will be happier as they have been reduced further to just £69.99 right now!
£3,000 OFF PXG IRONS?!
Lurking at the bottom of the iron deals page on Scottsdale Golf you can get a set of PXG 0311ST irons for £849, reduced from £4,080! I know £849 is still a lot to spend right now but given its starting price this is an incredible saving.
NEED (OR WANT) A NEW DRIVER?
If you want a new big stick then Black Friday weekend is the ideal time to invest because retailers like Scottsdale Golf are offering big discounts on models that are only a year or two old. And these discounts aren’t just 50 quid or so, we are talking about hundreds off top models like the SIM and SIM2 range from TaylorMade, or the Epic Speed and Mavrik models from Callaway.
NIKE WITH 25% OFF SITEWIDE
For those Nike fans out there, Nike currently has 25% off sitewide right now (opens in new tab), not just on golf stuff either. But for those golfers out there, there are polos, hoodies, tops, shoes and several accessories to choose from.

PUTTOUT DEALS
If you need to work on your putting then you can invest in a putting training aid. PuttOUT has a load of good deals on Amazon right now, ranging from the Pressure Putt Trainer, all the way up to Studio Bundles. We have been fans for a long time and the products have always tested well for us.
24 BALLS FOR LESS THAN £1 PER BALL
Yes you read that right. At the moment you can get 24 TaylorMade RBZ Soft golf balls for £22.99 (opens in new tab). So with a deal like that you might think the balls are rubbish but they definitely are not. I actually tested these balls back in May and they got 4 stars. Whilst better players may want to look elsewhere from a short-game feel perspective, this ball will suit a lot of golfers out there who want solid performance with good value.

GARMIN WATCH DEALS CONTINUE
There are always Garmin deals on Black Friday and there are still several golf watches on offer. The S10, S12 and S60 are three of the best we have seen as you can see below, with as much as £150 off.
Black Friday may be over, but there are still loads of fantastic deals to take advantage over the weekend and into Cyber Monday. The Golf Monthly team will be with you throughout.
Morning all, to those who are waking up in the UK.

Containing 12-clubs, including a Driver, 3 Wood, 5 Hybrid, 6 – 9 Iron, PW, Putter and a Stand Bag, it is simply incredible value!

NOT SURE IF IT IS COMING HOME
But, TaylorMade still has some England-fan friendly golf products that are the perfect gift for a golfing fan who follows the Three Lions. Check them out if you haven’t already.

It’s still 0-0
HT – ENGLAND 0-0 USA
England are lucky not to be a goal down here with the USA threatening with some dangerous chances. Meanwhile, I’m heading off for a break, but we’ll be back to bring you more excellent Black Friday Deals momentarily! Stay tuned!
SAVE £60 ON A GARMIN SMART GOLF WATCH
Garmin are a leader when it comes to producing some of the best GPS golf watches (opens in new tab) on the market. And more and more golfers are turning to the brand to help them get accurate readings on how far away they are from the hole.
Personally, I think there are a ton of benefits to having a GPS golf watch. If you’re into analysing your on-course swing statistics, including everything from your strokes gained to your stock yardages for each club, I highly recommend picking up a golf configured smartwatch, like the excellent Garmin Approach S12 GPS Golf Watch (opens in new tab) which is available on Amazon for a £60 discount.
We got our hands on the S12 earlier this year (opens in new tab) and were really impressed with its functionality and ease of use. If you’re looking for something very simple that works well from the off, the Garmin Approach S12 ticks this box. The yardages are accurate and well-displayed albeit on a fairly basic, black and white screen.
ENGLAND 0-0 USA: PULISIC HITS THE BAR!
How did that not go in! Christian Pulisic rattles the crossbar from outside the box in a heart dropping moment for England, but the Three Lions somehow survive!
The USA seem to be breaking well against England but can’t quite take their chances. England meanwhile look comfortable on the ball and look threatening in attack but similarly are lacking a final product.
Speaking of products… we’ve got a great deal for you on an England-themed pack of TaylorMade Distance + Golf Balls available at Amazon UK (opens in new tab).
NEW RANGE OF NIKE GOLF CLOTHES
While there are some great Black Friday Golf Deals (opens in new tab) on Nike gear out there right now, we thought we’d also bring you an update on the new Nike golf apparel range that dropped recently.
Featuring some excellent styles on all things from polo shirts to jackets, Nike really are delivering the goods on some fantastic looking golf apparel. Check out my top picks from the collection below!
BIG DEALS ON NIKE SHOES
… and while we’re on the subject of Tiger, one of Nike’s greatest sports ambassadors, there are some fantastic deals on Nike golf shoes (opens in new tab) including this fantastic offer on the Air Zoom Infinity Tour NEXT% Golf Shoes at Scottsdale Golf (opens in new tab). These are a super comfortable golf shoe that delivers excellent traction on the turf! Plus they add a super sporty look to any golf outfit, making them a must-have if you’re into Nike golf shoes.
NEWS: TIGER WOODS WILL PLAY WITH SON CHARLIE AT PNC CHAMPIONSHIP
Fifteen-time major champion, Tiger Woods has committed to teaming up with his son Charlie Woods, at the PNC Championship at The Ritz Carlton Resort in Orlando on December 17-18.
The 13-year-old seems to be following in his dad’s footsteps nicely, shooting a career-low 68 back in September, with his dad on his bag.
It is the first time we’ll have seen the 47-year-old compete since he missed the cut at the Open Championship at St Andrews earlier this year.
The pair competed together at PNC Championship back in 2021 and finished two shots back of John Daly and son John Daly II who won the tournament.
With Tiger set to return to action, grab yourself a bargain on some brilliant merchandise paying homage to one of golf’s GOATS.

BIG DISCOUNT ON SRIXON Z-STAR GOLF BALLS
…. and while we’re talking about discounts on golf balls we’ve just stumbled across this fantastic deal on the impressive Srixon Z-Star Golf Balls, which our staff writer Elliot Heath gave a 4.5 star review (opens in new tab) last year. Check it out below!
WHAT AM I LOOKING OUT FOR DURING BLACK FRIDAY?
As a mid-range handicapper, my priorities this Black Friday are replenishing some of my depleated golf gear, particularly my golf balls and tees stocks, which are running pretty low at the minute I must say…
Admittedly, I’ve been finding myself searching through the bushes of a lot of courses recently! And while my consistency off the tee may be lacking lately, my Black Friday basket is looking pretty full right now with some of the products listed on our Best Black Friday Golf Ball Deals (opens in new tab) guide.
NEED A NEW PACK OF GOLF BALLS?
We all know that premium golf balls don’t come cheap! And sometimes when you see a top quality pack of balls on offer, it may be wise to snap them up as soon as you can!
That’s why we’re very excited to bring you this fantastic offer on the excellent Callaway Chrome Soft X Golf Ball which is available for a £12 saving on Amazon UK Stores (opens in new tab). We put this ball through its paces (opens in new tab) earlier this year and were very impressed with the excellent ball speeds, impressive spin control and superb distances it offered off the tee.
And if Callaway aren’t your brand of choice, then check out our Best Black Friday Golf Ball Deals, for more options on some fantastic balls!
BIG DISCOUNTS ON OAKLEY SUNGLASSES
Hello everyone! Eddie Carruthers here jumping on to the Live Blog to bring you some stellar deals on some excellent sunglasses that’ll keep you looking cool on the course!
I don’t know about you but I cannot go without my shades on a sunny day playing golf, and if you’re after a new pair, then today’s your lucky day as you can get a whopping 50% off some of Oakley’s premium sunglasses this Black Friday!
Check out the brilliant offers I’ve set out below and let me know if you’ll be picking up a pair during the Black Friday Sales!
BLUE TEES LASER UP TO $70 OFF
Another laser rangefinder worth pointing out this Black Friday is the Blue Tees Series 3 Max, which is up to $70 now at Dick’s Sporting Goods (opens in new tab). One of its best features is the crystal clear display – it’s beautifully clear. What’s more, with auto ambient display, there never comes a time when it’s difficult to get a reading. So, whether you’re out in twilight conditions, or playing on an overcast morning, the display is always easy to read. This is helped by the 88 percent light transmission, which is almost unheard of in the golf rangefinder space. Meanwhile, the lock and vibration features assure the user that they have the correct target, which means less guesswork and time spent on reshooting for distances.
The pink version is now $70 off at $199 while the other three colorways (navy, black, and silver) are now $40 off at Dick’s.
CALLAWAY’S SLOPE RANGEFINDER IS NOW $110 OFF
This is a great value deal on a feature-packed laser rangefinder. The LS Slope rangefinder has a powerful magnification lens and, most importantly, slope technology that gives you adjusted yardage depending on how far up or down a hill you’re playing a shot. Laser rangefinders under $150 from manufacturers as well recognized as Callaway don’t come around this often.
YESTERDAY’S BEST IRONS AT TODAY’S BEST PRICES
One other thing I love about some of the Black Friday sales is the emergence of some older iron models at a great price. One of the best we’ve seen so far is the TaylorMade M4 irons (remember them) for just $599.99. These are brilliant iron if you’re an out-and-out beginner or a mid-high handicapper looking for that ideal mix of distance and forgiveness.
WALK A MILE IN RORY MCILROY’S SHOES
No, not an actual pair of his golf shoes. But the exact model that Rory McIlory wore throughout his very successful 2022 season is on sale this Black Friday at 25% off on the Nike website. Why not shop McIlroy’s whole look (opens in new tab) on the Nike website while you’re at it?
NFL GOLF BAGS
We’ve just spotted these very cool NFL golf bags available (opens in new tab) at Dick’s Sporting Goods. Pretty much every NFL franchise is featured in either a Wilson stand bag or a cart bag. Are there any Bills fans out there? I’ve featured the Buffalo Bills Wilson NFL Cart Bag below, which I think looks very clean in the team’s red and blue colors.
ADIDAS FAN?
For those who are fans of adidas, the brand is running up to 70% off golf apparel and shoes in the US and up to 50% in the UK (opens in new tab). Sorry, UK readers, but for some reason, adidas aren’t throwing quite as large a saving opportunity as they are to our friends on the other side of the Atlantic. England will win the football (soccer) later, and I’d rather that than a slightly larger discount on the adidas website anyway.
You can see the adidas Codechaos 22 golf shoe pictured down below. It’s easily one of the best golf shoes I’ve worn this year and is available as part of this huge adidas Black Friday sale. There’s a plethora of apparel and other adidas golf shoes too, all of which are worth checking out.

£90 OFF A TOP TAYLORMADE GOLF BAG
The key to Black Friday deals is to find high-quality products that have suddenly been slashed in price. One of the best examples I’ve seen so far this Black Friday is the TaylorMade FlexTech Waterproof stand bag. This is a comprehensive stand bag for all conditions thanks to the lightweight waterproof material and seam-sealed zippers used throughout. It’s £90 off at the moment and available in blue and silver.
$20 PGA TOUR 2K23
It’s great to see Tiger Woods back on the cover of a golf game. It had been a while, but when he announced that he’d be on the PGA Tour 2K23 I think we all knew it would be a large improvement on PGA Tour 2K21. Indeed, the reviews for the game have been largely positive with some massive strides in realism and some cool new features.
24 GOLF BALLS FOR $16.55
If you’re looking to stock up on golf balls, this deal on Wilson Zip golf balls is hard to look past. Any time you can get a decent golf ball for less than $1 per ball is a good deal in my books and the Wilson Zip balls offer a soft feeling distance ball that is ideal for the winter.
DAN PARKER REPORTING…
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. As a Detroit Lions fan, mine wasn’t as enjoyable as I’d have liked it to be – but a Lions loss on Thanksgiving is tradition.
While I’m very much looking forward to England vs USA at the World Cup, I’m here at Golf Monthly HQ keeping a keen eye out for the latest Black Friday golf deals to hit the web. While we wait for more to come live throughout the morning, I’m going to share some of my favorite deals and biggest savings I’ve seen so far.
PREMIUM BRAND 25% OFF ON BLACK FRIDAY
We are big fans of G/FORE and its shoes as well as apparel. It is a premium golf brand in every sense of the word and yet right now you can find some of its gear with 25% off savings. These include the excellent G/DRIVE and MG4+ golf shoes.
NEW PUTTERS WITH $100 OFF
Older gear often gets reduced on Black Friday but new products sometimes get the discount treatment too so it is always worth keeping an eye out for these deals. For example the new TaylorMade Spider GT putter has $100 off (opens in new tab) at Golf Galaxy right now in both black and grey finishes. This model got five stars in our testing because of its stability, good feel and choice in color and hosel options.

FOOTJOY PRO/SL SHOES FOR UNDER $100
They may be the previous season’s Pro SL’s, but these are still outstanding golf shoes and you can get them in several sizes and colors for less than $100. (opens in new tab) Made by FootJoy, a brand synonymous with some of the best golf shoes in the game, the Pro SL’s are comfortable, offer better grip and improved stability over previous models, as well as offering golfers a bigger choice in terms of the performance, comfort and visuals.

12 BALLS FOR UNDER $9
There are a number of good Wilson golf deals live and one which caught my eye was this ball deal in which you can get 12 Wilson Fifty Elite balls for just under nine dollars!
ONE OF OUR TOP BUDGET SHOE PICKS
A model which made our best budget golf shoes (opens in new tab) guide, the adidas Tour Response shoes got four stars for us in testing and to sweeten what is already a very good deal, right now you can get a pair for 50 bucks (opens in new tab).
Here is what Golf Monthly’s shoe expert Dan Parker said of the shoe –
‘A great value golf shoe that offers solid stability, grip and comfort considering the price. While there are flashier shoes out there looks-wise, there’s no denying the value for money and longevity the Tech Response 2.0 offers.’

BLACK FRIDAY IS THE TIME FOR SHOES
If you need a new pair of golf shoes then Black Friday is ideal timing because there are lots of discounts on new models, or shoes that performed very well for us. For example…

Admittedly these are probably more summer shoes, so if you need some for next year, great. But if you need a winter pair, we will keep an eye out for you.
HUNDREDS OF UNDER ARMOUR APPAREL DEALS
Yes that is true. We have been inundated with deals from Under Armour today and one great example is this polo below. It has 48% off right now but if the blue isn’t for you, there are 50+ designs to choose from, all with varying discounts and prices.
ARCCOS SHOT TRACKER DEALS
Arccos is one of, if not the best game tracking systems, on the market and on Black Friday you can get the Smart Sensors (opens in new tab) and Caddie Link (opens in new tab) with up to $40 off.
The Smart Sensors provide performance insights previously only available to tour pros. The ‘strokes gained’ analytics provide in-depth insights into your performance, and there are even tips from world-class coaches. The Link is a convenient clip on tool which offers Tour-like insights as well.
PACKAGE SETS FOR EVERYONE!
Right now there are lots of package sets on offer from Wilson. This includes men’s women’s and even junior sets as you can see below, and they are up to 58% off.
TWO BUDGET LAUNCH MONITORS
No longer are launch monitors just for the super rich. Now we can all get one as shown by the two models below, both of which come in at the $350 mark. We have actually tested both and they made our guides on the best portable launch monitors (opens in new tab), and best cheap launch monitors (opens in new tab).
BRAND LINKS
As you know pretty much every brand and retailer has black Friday sales right now so we have collated some of our faves below from some huge brands. This is to make things as easy as possible for you!
NEED A NEW LASER?
If you are in the market for one of the best golf rangefinders out there, then the Nikon Coolshot 50i is a great model to go for right now. Not only does it have 36% off but in our testing it performed very well indeed. it got four and a half stars in our review because it is very easy to see the pin in different light conditions, it has bright and clear graphics, and it can be attached to a cart for convenience.
STRATA SETS DISCOUNTED IN USA
(Image credit: Golf Monthly)
On Amazon.com (opens in new tab) the Callaway Strata sets have got discounts aplenty at the moment, not only on mens sets but also women’s. Additionally it appears all of the sets are discounted too so there are several price points covered here. We have actually tested these sets and they performed very solidly indeed and are ideal for those players just getting into the game.
MOUNTAIN OF GOLF BALLS
I have just spotted a great discount on Wilson golf balls. You can get 52% off 24 Wilson Staff Zip golf balls at the moment which is an excellent deal.
ODYSSEY PUTTER DEALS
First up it seems Amazon has decided to put some new Odyssey White Hot OG putters on offer at the moment. The discount does seem to vary based upon model, length, and whether you are right or left-handed so tinker around to get the best deal. It is cool to see just how many head shapes you can get in the range as well, ranging from the One, all the way to the Bird of Prey. The Seven Nano is pictured below.
BACK REPORTING THIS MORNING
Sam Tremlett is back this morning and there have been a load of deals that have gone live overnight. Give him 5 mins to get a coffee and he will be showing them to you in no time.

Online staff writer and former employee of American Golf has done some work for you and found the top 10 deals from the retailer so that you don’t have to! Check out his recommendations.

MORE PACKAGE SET DEALS FOR YOU
Are you a beginner golfer? Or do you know someone trying to get into the game? A package set is a great way of ticking off a lot of boxes in terms of clubs and golf bag. Thankfully there are several good deals on sets out there right now and below are more of our top picks.
APPLE DISCOUNTS FLYING
A quick step away from golf (or maybe we can find a golf application for these two products?), but there are great deals on the Apple Watch SE ($130 off), and Apple Airpods ($20 off). If you want Apple products, now is the time to strike.
GARMIN WATCH DEALS APLENTY
As usual on Black Friday there are Garmin deals everywhere and there are several golf watches on offer. The S10, S12 and S60 are three of the best we have seen as you can see below, with as much as £150 off.
25% OFF SITEWIDE AT ROCK BOTTOM GOLF
I have just had an email fly into my inbox saying Rock Bottom Golf has 25% off sitewide (opens in new tab). From my experience the retailer has a lot of deals and it seems to have continued in 2022, especially on electronics.
LARGE DISCOUNTS ON TAYLORMADE BAGS
There are a number of discounts on TaylorMade golf bags right now including cart and stand models. We have noticed these sell reasonably quickly in select colors so we don’t expect these to be around for long.
UP TO 70% OFF AT ADIDAS
If you are a fan of the three stripes, then head to adidas as in the United States you can get up to 70% off on the official website (opens in new tab), whilst in the UK this is just a mere 50% off select golf products (opens in new tab). I am a big adidas guy (as you can see below) and the brand has got some excellent products on offer at the moment, such as the new Tour360 22 (opens in new tab) and Codechaos shoes (opens in new tab), as well as new clothing as well.
The jacket pictured here is also on offer by the way, 45% off (opens in new tab).

LOADS OF PUTTOUT DEALS
If you need to work on your putting then now is the time to invest in a putting training aid. PuttOUT has a load of good deals on Amazon right now, ranging from the Pressure Putt Trainer, all the way up to Studio Bundles. We have been fans for a while and the products have always tested well for us, so we are confident you will like them too.
SAM TREMLETT REPORTING
Apologies all, I realized I didn’t introduce myself. I am Sam Tremlett, Senior Staff Writer at Golf Monthly and I love a deal. Importantly I oversee a lot of review and equipment content on the website and I know what is a good deal, and what isn’t.
24 BALLS FOR LESS THAN £1 PER BALL
Yes you read that right. At the moment you can get 24 TaylorMade RBZ Soft golf balls for £22.99 (opens in new tab). So with a deal like that you might think the balls are rubbish but they definitely are not. I actually tested these balls back in May and they got 4 stars. Whilst better players may want to look elsewhere from a short-game feel perspective, this ball will suit a lot of golfers out there who want solid performance with good value.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
So there have been a number of deals in the UK that have been live for a few days now and we have been creating posts to highlight them. So therefore in case you missed it, Golf Monthly’s shoe expert Dan Parker noticed that one of his favorite shoes was reduced this year (opens in new tab). The shoes in question are the Puma’s pictured below and they have 30% off in a number of colors and sizes. He just nodded his agreement at this post and he is also currently watching the Detroit Lions lose to the Buffalo Bills by the way, a true tradition of Thanksgiving.
TOP TIPS FOR BLACK FRIDAY
1. First things first, work out what gaps you have in your golfing setup. Then you can buy accordingly because there are deals on every bit of golf gear you can think of.
2. Use trusted retailers and brands. There are a lot of random websites and retailers that offer products that are not very good. So we would recommend sticking with brands you know and trust, and use us as a guide on what is a good deal and what isn’t.
3. Don’t panic buy. What I mean here, is when you see a deal, make sure you go to some other retailers to see how it is priced elsewhere.
DEALS STILL TO COME IN USA
If you are perplexed at how few golf deals there are in the United States currently, on retailers like Amazon (opens in new tab), Walmart (opens in new tab) or Best Buy, do not fret. We expect most of them to go live on Friday. But for now here are three of our favorites.
