"Oh, it's for golf is it? Well then that'll be at least double the price"
As golfers we buy lots of things that other non-golfers will buy in their day to day lives. Polos, trousers, umbrellas and sweaters to name but a few.
So why is it that buying them to play golf in immediately elevates the price to eye-wateringly high levels in some cases?
I was in a golfing emporium today (won't say who and where) and was simply astounded at the cost of a simple white polo shirt. I moved on to trousers and gripped the counter tightly, and then best of the lot, was a "big brand" pitch fork at £15!!
Are you happy to be fleeced by a ruthless marketing machine only too keen to play on branding snobbery paranoia, or do you spend a lot of time bargain-hunting online or maybe visiting Primark, Sainsbury's and Tesco?
