If you’re a golfer, chances are you’ve already found so many sites on the internet that your head is probably spinning. Over the last few years, I’ve found a few gems that I think are completely worth following and saving to look at regularly. I’ve broken them into five categories below, along with my favorite and a few others you should take a look at before letting my favorite have a place in your daily schedule. If you have any others that didn’t make the list, make sure to leave them in the comments below. Besides this site, here are my four favorite sites for entertaining myself when I can’t go out and play, or when I need something at a great price.
Best Equipment Site: Budget Golf - https://www.budgetgolf.com/
For some strange reason, this online store seems to have deals on things that nobody else does. Many of the ‘steals’ are on last year’s models, but when you can pay $300 for a set of irons that were $1000 a month ago, there’s something to be said for sticking with last year’s front runners. Probably the only draw back to buying off the rack stuff from last year is the fact that it won’t be custom fit for you. Still, if you need some new tech, balls or just about anything else, Budget Golf has you covered for pretty amazing pricing.

Best Instruction Site: Mark Crossfield (4golfonline) - https://www.youtube.com/user/4golfonline
Now, I’m not saying that there aren’t a billion instructional sites that are good out there, because there are, but Mr. Crossfield is the first “coach” that I’ve seen that works the issues backwards from fix to correction. What I mean by this is that he starts by fixing the shot, which usually leads to an over correction, and then he comes back to the root of the problem to fix the actual cause. He’s funny, brilliant and quite frankly, one of the most entertaining golf personalities around. His course Vlogs are hilarious. His instruction is simplistic, yet effective. His opinions, well are very well guided to say the least. Best of all, he’s nominated as a best vlogger as well. So, check him out and see what he can do for your game in just a few videos.

Best Online Statistics Tracker: Golf Pad GPS – http://www.golfpadgps.com
I’ve been personally using Golf Pad for two seasons now. While it isn’t the flashiest or most in depth option available today, it does give the average player plenty to work with – and does so for just $20 a year.
Most Entertaining Golf Vlog: Mark Crossfield (4golfonline) - https://www.youtube.com/user/4golfonline
Mark is making his second appearance on this list, mainly due to the fact that he is playing online game at a level that most others could only dream of. I have to admit that Rick Shiels was a very, very, very close second on this one, but the fact that he spends huge chunks of his channel on reviews and then chunks playing and then a few instructional videos, just leaves me wishing that he would spread out the content like Crossfield does. Crossfield has set days where he releases course vlogs, then instructional videos, then his daily vlogs… He keeps the content rotating and it never gets too heavy in one direction or another. But this is all about the course vlog and there is nothing better than watching a few low handicappers hack their way around some of the best courses in the world. They are hilarious, fun and make up for not having access to something like the Golf Channel or other outlets for watching regular tour golf.
