Once you get addicted to the greatest game in the world, it can become quite an expensive hobby.  Golf clubs, clothes and playing the game can swallow up a big chunk of anyone’s income.

Because of this it’s worth looking out for second hand clubs and golf gear.  EBay always has plenty of new and used golf clubs and accessories but it does carry risks.  I have had both good and bad experiences with EBay and in my experience; they weren’t as helpful as I was led to believe when it came to making a complaint.

Therefore it’s better to buy clubs from a reliable source.  Golfbidder is apparently, Europe’s largest stockist of quality used golf clubs.  They are based in South-West London, but for those golfers not within driving distance, there is always their website - www.golfbidder.co.uk.

Golfbidder has an excellent reputation and every club you see on the website is ready for despatch from the Golfbidder HQ.

For those visiting the shop there is no risk.  But for those using the internet to buy anything, let alone a second hand golf club, it is a concern that the club will be in the condition that you expect and pay for.

Well, Golfbidder give a full 12 month warranty - and a 7 day no-quibble money-back guarantee with all clubs.  So as their website says, “You can test-run any of our clubs - and if you are not happy for any reason, simply return them within 7 days for a full refund.”

The clubs are either auctioned or offered as ‘Instant Buys’; and As I write this post, the website says - Golfbidder has 4730 golf clubs in stock today!

Please let me know of your experiences with Golfbidder, and of any other companies selling second-hand golf clubs online that you can recommend.
