I think that for a consumer to receive "great value" for his/her money there should be either long lasting usage with satisfying results , or significant performance improvement resulting in lower scores, a great memory, or perhaps a health benefit.
My own list of "best money spent on golf" goes something like this :
1) $2,000 spent on lessons , and range balls, (learning and practicing golf skills which improve play/scoring for a lifetime).
2) $1,000 spent on a round of golf at Pebble Beach (memory to last a lifetime)
3) $500 spent on a quality putter that fits well and can stay in the bag for a lifetime.
4) $200 spent on quality golf footwear which may be good not only for the golf game, but also provide health benefits
So, the above are my top four "great value golf purchases".
When I shop for driver, fairway woods, iron sets or wedges I think about the hundreds/thousands of dollars these items cost, only to stay within the bag a few years, and not provide any significant reduction to golf scoring. For me these purchases do not represent any sort of "great value". I do buy these items but do so knowing it's not money well spent.
What is your own criteria for golf related expenses, including those that provide great value and others that do not ?
