In the month to 15 May 2006 the Golfalot Price Index, which tracks the average price of golf equipment from UK retailers, remained static with a 0.1% gain. Irons, wedges and utility clubs were the gainers, both of which were due to new models appearing in the market. New sets of irons from TaylorMade and Bridgestone and the Callaway X-Tour Wedges and FT-3 utility club, among others, finally hit the market. Golf balls and shoes fell by over 4% each with putters declining by 2%. This balanced the Golfalot Price Index for the period indicating that as the UK golf season gets underway, overall prices are holding up well, as predicted last month.
The Golfalot Price Index tracks the prices of the latest model(s) from each manufacturer are chosen as they reach the market so the models tracked always reflect pricing on what the serious golfer wants, the latest technology. Prices are taken from Golfalot.com’s market leading golf equipment price comparison service which tracks all the prices every day from every major UK golf retailer with a national pricing policy.
