10 products that will save you lashes and money

Finding the best deals on golf equipment under $50 can sometimes be a challenge, but there are great buys out there if you know where to look.

Many golfers think that the best deals on golf equipment are found in the golf balls, gloves, and socks section of their local golf store. However, this is only scratching the surface. If you're willing to dig a little deeper, you'll find the most interesting mix of gear under $50 yet, online. This includes tour balls, premium gloves, components, training aids, and course accessories that make a difference.

And now ahead of the busy summer season, a few items that usually sit in the higher price categories are temporarily dropping into this range creating a rare sweet spot: great gear that's not only affordable, but feels like a steal.

These are the 10 best deals under $50 (including some even less!)

TaylorMade Tour Response Stripe

The Tour Response Stripe features TaylorMade's innovative microcoating technology, engineered to ensure consistent peak height, reliable distance, and solid dispersion on full shots. This technology is designed to provide a predictable and controlled feel from tee to green. Also, the 360° ClearPath Alignment line offers a significant advantage by providing a clear visual guide for face alignment and putt placement. This ball, even if it doesn't sell, is a safe steal at under $50.

Golf Pride Zero Taper

Let's all agree: zero taper grips are here to stay, hopefully forever. The Golf Pride Zero Taper putter grip features a symmetrical design that provides a consistent feel in both hands, helping to promote consistent and repeatable putting strokes. Its pronounced sidewalls improve awareness of the putter's face, while the soft, supple material and dimple texture provide reliable traction in all conditions.

1 thing we like the most: It keeps both hands feeling the same, which helps eliminate inconsistent grip pressure.

Knockaround Fast Lanes Golf Sunglasses

Knockaround sunglasses are a must-have for golfers who want to be active without breaking the bank. These stylish shades feature a sleek, modern design with glossy gray frames and green mirrored lenses that reduce glare and improve visibility in bright conditions. Constructed of lightweight polycarbonate, they provide all-round comfort, while rubber nose pads ensure a secure fit. Additionally, Knockaround sunglasses offer UV400 protection and impact resistant lenses.

1 thing we like the most: These polarized lenses are a steal, not just under $50, but also under $40!

Adidas Original Golf Glove

This glove combines soft leather performance with a clean, vintage-inspired design. What really sets it apart is the retro adidas logo and understated style, giving it a classic look that sets it apart from the usual modern gloves. It's an excellent choice for golfers who want reliable performance with a touch of old-school charm. Mint color is required.

1 thing we like the most: The classic throwing style is one you don't see much anymore.

Divot Board Mini

Your divots can sometimes give you valuable insights into your swing mechanics. The Divot Board Mini, a compact and portable version of the original, features the same patented feedback technology. Each swipe leaves a visual mark that shows your bottom contact with the swing, allowing you to quickly understand the direction of your swing. Its lightweight and durable design, enhanced by handy suction cups, makes it suitable for use on a variety of surfaces, including grass, carpet, and hard surfaces.

1 thing we like the most: Technically it comes in at just $9.99 where we cut off the “Best Deals Under $50”, but it's one of the few training aids worth bending over backwards for.

Dual Grain putting Mat

As with real greens, understanding the grain can make a big difference in how a putt rolls and this mat helps you experience those subtle changes. This 8-foot putting mat gives you the power to practice on both slow and fast turf, helping you dial in speed control from home.

1 thing we like the most: The two letter design actually simulates a different green speed. How cool is that?

Don't laugh, yet. These stickers are a great way to help increase the chances of a lost club being returned to your golf bag. Each tag can be scanned with any smartphone, allowing other players or course staff to quickly identify and return your gear. The company claims an 85 percent return rate and has no ongoing fees, making it an easy, cost-effective way to secure your set. Includes 15 stickers for filling bags. Plus, the good samaritan who returns your club will get their own free sticker pack.

1 thing we like the most: There is no registration. Just stick them on and you're covered.

Ghost Divot Tool

The Ghost Divot Tool easily adjusts pitch markings on the green and features a slide ball marker with alignment aid markings to help you hit putts with more confidence. Because hey, if you're going to fix the ball marks on the green (good for you), you might as well get the added benefit of a tool that improves your alignment while you're at it. It also includes a groove cleaner to keep your clubs running smoothly and a built-in club rest so you don't get caught on the ground.

1 thing we like the most: The alignment marks on the ball marker are a smart idea. So is the built-in club lounge. (Guess two things we really like.)

Team Effort Microfiber Towel

This 19″ x 41″ waffle-weave microfiber towel is designed for everyday use, offering a soft yet durable design that cleans clubs without scratching the finish. The large size gives you the flexibility to keep half the towel wet for a deep clean and half dry for a quick wipe. The 8″ center cutout makes it easy to hang over your clubs or bag, while the embroidered collegiate logo adds a personal touch/booster if you need it. And speaking of logos, it is available in a huge variety of trademarks.

1 thing we like the most: The central division makes things much easier. We wish every golf towel had it.

1 thing we like the most: Chipping nets are a mainstay at golf clubs around the world, mainly because they help you drive not only where you're going, but on the right course. This one is perfect for that and folds up easily when not in use.
