Amazon Prime Day Live: Excellent Golf Deals

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

The SKLZ Training Bundle is another great deal we’ve spotted so far this Prime Day. SKLZ make some of the best training aids in the game and this putting mat represents great value if you’re looking to dial in your putting stroke at home or at the office. 

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE WATCHES NOW ON SALE

I tested the GolfBuddy aim W11 GPS Watch last year and I’m still using it regularly to this day. It’s got a brilliant touchscreen and can show you the map of the full hole as well as a detailed view of the green. 

It’s currently £90 off in the UK, making it one of the best value GPS watches currently on Amazon. 

GPS GOLF SPEAKERS 

One of the newer pieces of technology for golfers is smart speakers. Not only do they allow you to play your favourite songs on course, but they also read out yardages to the green! Two of the best golf speakers currently available are on sale this Prime Day. 

The Bushnell Wingman is a brilliant quality speaker with a neat chip that you can keep in your pocket – click that chip and the device will read out the yardage. It’s also magnetic so conveniently attaches to the frame of a golf cart. The Precision Pro is a similarly clever device, offering great value this Prime Day with an added LCD screen to display yardages.

“BADASS” LASER RANGEFINDER ON SALE FOR PRIME DAY

Golf Monthly’s very own Chris Wallace has just described the Cobalt Q6 Laser to me as a “badass” device. Now if that isn’t a glowing review, I don’t know what is. In his full review of the Cobalt Q6 Laser, he uses much more professional language to describe the brilliant optics and lighting speed this laser rangefinder works at. 

With a very healthy $90 off this Prime Day, we think this Cobalt laser is one of the best deals of the day so far. 

The 150th Open Championship Tee Times

Away from Amazon Prime Day deals for two seconds and the small matter of The 150th Open Championship which, earlier today, released the full tee times for Thursday and Friday. You can check them out here.

Defending champion, Collin Morikawa, is paired with Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele, with the trio teeing off at 9.58am on Thursday and 2.59pm on Friday. Meanwhile, 15-time Major winner, Tiger Woods will tee off at 2.59pm on Thursday and 9.58am on Friday. Who else is excited?!

ONE OF THE BEST RANGEFINDERS ON THE MARKET IS $80 OFF

Listed as one of the best golf laser rangefinders that money can buy, the Precision Pro R1 Smart is the latest addition to the premium performing range. Priced at just $239.99 in this Amazon Prime Day offer, now is the time to pick up one of the most accurate distance measuring devices on the planet!

Check out our Precision Pro R1 Smart Review here, as well as the deal on Amazon below.

HOW ARE YOU ENJOYING AMAZON PRIME DAY?

We at Golf Monthly are loving the deals coming out of Amazon Prime Day, with Amazon really stepping up its game in 2022! In previous years, the number of quality golf products have been slim, however, this year the deals from loads of well-trusted and high-quality brands have been fantastic. Check out our Top 5 favourite deals in this post here.

BOOZE DEALS!!

Golf and alcohol go very well together. Whether you are enjoying a tipple during the round, or you want a strong drink after it, there are loads of great deals on alcohol during Amazon Prime Day. We collated our favorite 20 in this post (opens in new tab), but you can see four of the best below. 

TWO GOOD BAG DEALS FROM CALLAWAY

There has been a lot of tech and golf ball deals so far today but I spotted a couple of really good bag deals as well from Callaway. Both of them come with what I would call cheaper price points and yet the Prime Day offers really make them difficult to ignore. The X-Series in particular is a very solid golf bag and part of the newer Callaway lineup. 

BIG DISCOUNTS ON PUTTOUT TRAINING AIDS

We are big fans of PuttOut gear as shown by our reviews and the inclusion of its products in our Buying Guides. Well you can see what we mean on Prime Day as the Putting Gates, Pressure Trainer and Mat are all on offer right now. All are designed to help your putting whether it be in terms of stroke, alignment and pace control so if you want to hole more putts or be more consistent, we really do think these tools will help. 

GET THIS LAUNCH MONITOR FOR UNDER $400!

Some of the best golf launch monitors on the market are incredibly expensive, with some models setting you back thousands of pounds. However, with the Rapsodo Mobile Launch Monitor, you can pick it up for under $400 in this Amazon Prime Day! Incredibly easy to set up, it provides reliable shot detection and playback options, making it a perfect addition if you are wanting to improve your golf game.

GET THE JORDAN SPIETH LOOK

There are a lot of deals on Under Armour apparel on Prime Day (opens in new tab) this year and one golf model that has up to 50% off is the Playoff 2.0 Polo. This polo is worn a lot by Jordan Spieth and there are over 35 different shirt designs you could pick! It is a model that made our guide on the best golf polo shirts (opens in new tab) for a variety of reasons. From our testing the soft anti-pick, anti-pill fabric is extremely breathable & lightweight, the moisture management is fantastic, and finally the anti-odor technology prevents the growth of odor-causing microbes so you can smell fresh constantly.

TEAM GOLF HEADCOVERS ARE SO COOL

I was born and bred in the United Kingdom but I absolutely love the American headcovers from Team Golf. You can get a frankly ridiculous array of designs ranging from NFL (opens in new tab), NHL (opens in new tab) and MLB teams. Also I love the NCAA College designs in white as well. 

YET MORE EXCELLENT GOLF BALL DEALS

Not only are there amazing deals on Pro V1’s (opens in new tab) and TaylorMade RBZ Soft balls (opens in new tab), but Callaway has got in on the act as well with the Hex Soft’s! You can get as much as 38% off on the ball on Amazon UK, and as much as 33% in the US. 

Our editor Michael Harris tested this ball (opens in new tab) fairly recently and it got four stars out of five, a very good score for such a cheap golf ball. (opens in new tab) It is billed as a distance ball and whilst the performance there was good, he was also very happy with the soft feel on offer. All in all it is a ball that offers good all-round performance and the durability is excellent as well. 

HOW TO MAKE GOLF MORE AFFORDABLE

After seeing all these deals on Amazon Prime Day (opens in new tab) I do think golf can be made a lot more affordable. How? Well jumping at the deals to fill slots in your bag or gear setup is a start but our US writer Chris Wallace discussed 15 other easy ways to make golf more affordable (opens in new tab) in a recent piece. Playing at non-peak time, and using value golf balls are two of my personal favorite tips from Chris. 

HAVE YOU TRIED PRACTICING WITH HEADPHONES?

Our very own Joel Tadman is a big proponent of practicing with headphones in, so much so that he just wrote a piece alongside Ed Carruthers on the 5 reasons why you should start practicing with headphones (opens in new tab). In the piece they discuss factors like enhanced focus and added motivation as two clear benefits, and the pair have also included a number of excellent headphone deals from Amazon Prime Day as well. (Such as the Beats deal below…)

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

We never see great deals on the best golf balls (opens in new tab) on the market really, but this is not the case this year. On Amazon right now you can get 20% off Titleist Pro V1 balls (opens in new tab) in both white and yellow. Yes you read that right, the ball the professionals use!

If you are a Titleist fan or premium golf ball user, then I cannot stress enough how rare this deal is, and how quickly it might sell out as well. 

TWO AWESOME WATCH DEALS

Golf tech is regularly on offer during Amazon Prime Day or Black Friday and this year is no exception. Two of the best golf watch deals I have spotted are the Garmin Approach S12 (opens in new tab), and GolfBuddy Aim W11 (opens in new tab). 

The S12 has 42% off at the moment which is incredible value for a Garmin. It has 40,000 courses preloaded onto it, has excellent usability, it looks great in all three colors, and we found it to be very versatile as well.

The Aim W11 also made our guide on the best golf watches (opens in new tab). It too has 40,000 courses preloaded, and has other features including a full-color touch screen display, plus green undulation and slope-adjusted distance readings. In our testing we also felt it worked well off the course too because it is a very good-looking watch. 

EXCITING WEEK FOR GOLF

My work colleague has just told me he has got to the media centre at the Old Course in St. Andrews and I am very jealous. Not of his hangover though as it is a bad one apparently.

Thankfully I will be going up on Thursday morning in what should be one of the best weeks of golf ever! Anyway, back to Amazon Prime Day (opens in new tab)…

15% OFF THE BUSHNELL WINGMAN

Golf speakers are becoming more and more popular at the moment and one of our absolute favorites is the Wingman from Bushnell (opens in new tab). The feature that sets the Wingman apart from the competition is its GPS feature that provides accurate yardages on the golf course. A small detachable remote is easily carried in your pocket and – with one press of the button – the speaker will tell you front, back and middle yardages to the green you’re about to approach. It also has Bushnell’s Bite technology which allows the device to be magnetically secured to any appropriate surface.

As you can tell, we really liked this product in testing, and we think you will too, especially with the 15% deal this Prime Day (opens in new tab).

LAUNCH MONITOR FOR LESS THAN £200? YES THAT IS CORRECT

I have just noticed the PRGR Launch Monitor (opens in new tab) is available right now for £185.99. This is a 15% discount from its usual RRP of £218 and given how this monitor tested for us that is an absolute steal. It got a five star review from Dan Parker because it is a seriously impressive device that makes owning a launch monitor much more accessible for many golfers. The accuracy was impressive given the price point, it is ultra-portable, and the device gives you data on swing speed, ball speed, carry distance, total distance and smash factor. For Dan, this was just the right amount – not too much to overwhelm and not so little it’s pointless.

PRIME DAY TOP TIPS

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 (opens in new tab) 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 2022 sale. 

3. Shop small businesses to win up to £5,000

For Prime Day, Amazon regularly promotes small and start-up businesses by offering rewards when people shop them in the sales. This year, Amazon is offering shoppers up to £5,000 when they shop with eligible small businesses. For every £1 you spend, you earn one additional entry to the Sweepstakes (that you’ll need to register for) and you’ll be in with the chance to win £5,000 worth of Amazon Gift Cards.

HOW TO SEE THESE DEALS

One of the first things we should tell you is how to actually see these deals. Well to do so you need an Amazon Prime membership and the great thing is if you haven’t had one before you can actually get a free trial. Amazon offers all new customers a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime for all new customers. 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.

FAVORITE AMAZON UK DEALS SO FAR

Not to be outdone, the UK version of Amazon’s website also has some excellent deals. 

FAVORITE AMAZON US DEALS SO FAR

Hello everyone and I hope you are excited for not just The Open Championship this week but also I am a big fan of Prime Day because getting a good deal and saving some $$$ is huge, especially with the cost of living crisis at the moment. I went on Amazon US first and these are my three favorite deals so far!

Sam Tremlett will be starting you off today and he has awoken very early and spotted several deals worth your attention. He has been a self-admitted golf gear nerd for a long time now and with Golf Monthly’s big step up in testing and review content over the past couple of years, he has got his hands on a lot of product. As a result we feel he is in a good place to let you know what is a good deal, what is a good product, and where you should steer clear.
