These days almost everyone is playing golf or at least thinking about it. It used to be such a simple sport requiring only a set of clubs, a hand full of golf balls, and a battered pair of cleats bought at a garage sale was enough for an average hacker to go for a round of eighteen holes. In the past fifteen years or so there has been an enormous increase in the game’s growth and popularity, which has rapidly caused a boom in the manufacturing and sales of golf merchandise. They have become so unavoidable in the whole golfing sub-culture that even the veteran golfers cannot help but reach for their purses to buy some golf accessories. Golf accessories earn an annual business of approximately $ 6.2 billion dollars annually which is increasing every year. The newbies generally gobble up the latest and the trendiest golf equipment.
Golf paraphernalia range from accessories which are most essential such as golf footwear, golf gloves, golf bags, towels, golf rain wear and golf cart accessories. Among all the equipment options, none has been a hotter and more discussed topic than the footwear. Golf technological accessories such as GPS (Global Positioning Systems) or laser range finders have established a niche market after they have found a place in the golf playing rules. They are now allowed at the discretion of the tournament organizers.
Ever since the game of golf has become popular, technical and practice aids such as audio and visual guides are being sold in large numbers because they make practice sessions more fruitful and much more enjoyable. Thousands of gadgets and gizmos are now solely designed to help progress various basics of the golf swing.

The game of golf has undergone substantial improvements in the past few years; these accessories making your rounds comfortable and enjoyable at the same time reflect your personality and style as well.
