My favorite fruit is mango. However when it comes to wearing a pair of mango shoes, I have to think about it. Rock Bottom Golf is selling the Adidas Powerband golf shoes for only $29.99. If you hurry, you can get the mango colored one but if you take your sweet time, you will have to settle for indigo blue one. Whichever one you decide on, get one before they sell out. The regular price is $120.00 and it is worth every inch of it. The mesh will keep your feet fresh and cool while you sweat under the hot sun.
If you don’t mind getting sand between your toes, choose the Bite Golf sandals for $29.99. Both styles are for men’s but ladies, I haven’t forgotten about you. Ladies’ shoes are on sale too. Save $80 when you buy a pair of Adidas ClimaCool Tradewinds shoes for only $19.99 or choose the Adidas AD Comfort shoes for $19.99. Just click on the caveman and start shopping.

Sorry for not writing but I’ve been on the road heading south to Los Angeles where I currently hang out. First of, I am going to share a promo code with one of you who wants to redeem a free $15 gift card at Dale and Thomas popcorn. Just enter the following code Z5110 P3E9 1788 0384 and enjoy the gift.
Since my last post, I have visited so many restaurants with gift certificates bought from Restaurant.com. If you want to save 60% off, do so today by using the code: BONUS. It expires Sunday night a minute before midnight.
When I left for the US, I was asked to pick up a golf gps for my wife’s cousin. He wanted the SkyCaddie for under $200. I almost picked one up for him at Costco for $144. It was the SG4 model that originally sold for more than $200. With the SkyCaddie, you have to pay for an annual membership fee. Depending on your downloading habits, you either pay for a membership that allows you to download courses in your state or by paying more, you can download within your country. If you want worldwide, you pay an ultimate price.
I bought myself a SonoCaddie and pay a one-time cost of $29.95 for unlimited downloads. My V100 model can hold up to 10 course profiles at a time but that suffices. The SonoCaddie sells for $149.99 from RockBottomGolf. Be sure to enter SONOFREESHIP to get it shipped to you for free. (That’s a $7.99 shipping saving)

One of my new year’s resolution is to get organized. In the days to come, I will be sharing with you, excerpts or lessons learned from reading a book on ‘decluttering’. Today, I started with my collection of shoes. According to the book, the best way to go through your shoe collection is to try them on. I found at least 10 pairs of shoes that no longer fit me. Instead of tossing them out, I will donate them to charity. If you are interested in donating running shoes, check out this link and choose a worthy organization to donate your used running shoes to. For other type of shoes, the Salvation Army or Goodwill will take your old shoes off you.
Talking about shoes, I dropped in to the Las Vegas Premium Outlets over the Christmas week. I had to try on the golf shoes at Ecco to see what the hype was. All the guys at Golf Town wear Ecco shoes and recommends them so I had to find out for myself whether they were worth the money or not. They were comfortable but I couldn’t get myself to pay more than $150 for a pair, even at outlet prices. Instead, I would choose a pair of Nike or Adidas shoes for comfort and value. From now to January 15th, click on the green banner on our site for “more than golf balls” and enter WINTERSALE as the promo code to save additional money.

I’m still not used to watching ‘Hockey Night in Canada’ when Colorado plays Phoenix. My friends have traded their golf clubs for hockey sticks and golf balls for pucks. If you’re looking for a new pair of skates and want a great deal, check out Liquidation Warehouse on 17th Avenue and 37th Street in Calgary.
Also new at Golf Town is the ‘Hockey Stick Putter‘ that sells for $119. It comes with a compression molded graphite shaft, cast aluminum alloy blade, 35″ standard length and headcover. David Graham is the inventor and owner. He grew up in 
Minnesota where he said hockey was a way of life. After spending 3 years designing the club, it’s here. You can get it with any of the NHL logos on it.

They say rewards will come to those who wait. If you have been patient and not buy any escape tickets then you are in luck because there’s a special from Calgary to Las Vegas from December 14-18 for only $375 with taxes. This includes roundtrip air and 4-nights accomodation at Circus, Circus. And talk about the Circus, ticket buyers were snapping up pre-sale tickets to Britney Spears concert in Edmonton last night. She is playing in Edmonton in April and the Pussycat Dolls are the warm up band.
Have you noticed all the Wii consoles on store shelves this year? Last year at the same time, there were none. The one thing you won’t find in any stores is the Wii balance board.

If you see it, click on one to buy because you get it for a ridiculous price, at only $49.

Everybody is going to budget-minded this Christmas. And talk about Budget, be sure to use BCD code U114800 to save on your Christmas rental. In Vancouver, you can rent a economy/compact car for only $45 for a 3-day rental from December 16th to 19th. I’ve been shopping and comparing with Thrifty’s using the code: LM78 and it comes close. Remember, the trick is picking up the car from a non-airport location to save on airport taxes. In Vancouver, the tax is well over 17% which cancels out alot of promo code rates.
Alot of people are going to strap down their budget and shop for themselves. If you are looking to stock your house, perhaps your new renovated basement with a home theatre, spa or home office, here’s a free visitor’s pass to DirectBuy. We’ve seen the ads on tv where they say you can save up to 50% off all your home remodelling and fixtures.
And if you have golfers on your Christmas list, check out all the golf shirts and windshirts by Antigua and Oakley at savings up to 75% off at Knetgolf. To take advantage of this special, be sure to use the coupon code: SHIRT.
Mystery Bags for $10 November 29, 2008

If you want to clear some clutter out of your house but don’t have the heart to throw it out (yet) then pack it up and offer it on ebay as a mystery bag or grab bag. At the end of golf season, I was cleaning out my bag and found a bunch of ball markers, divot tools and some training aids that didn’t work for me. I decided to pack it up in a box, marked it ‘grab bag’ then offered it on ebay. I listed the item under golf stuff and in a day, I had over 100 people visit my ad. By the end of the week, I had a bid worth $30 and I sent it off to the highest bidder.
This morning I found a new golf website that may interest some of you. It’s OOBGolf and they have a mystery bag worth $10. Unfortunately, this offer is only good if you live in the US or if you live near the border (eg. Vancouver, Richmond, etc. and have read my blog about the Letter Carrier) then you’re in luck. The mystery bag can contain anything from a golf shirt to golf clubs. It’s probably worth your $10 to see what you get, considering the sponsors involved such as Adidas, Mizuno, TaylorMade and more. There is a $3.95 shipping charge but what the heck, if they are going to send you a golf club then this is just a fraction of the cost.
This is limited offer good until December 1st, 2008. Mystery bags will be shipped on December 15th, 2008 just in time for Christmas.

As the Americans are preparing to shop on Black Friday, we Canadians are gearing up to shop for Christmas. I visited Deerfoot Mall this weekend and noticed all the outlet stores there. Among the few I visited, the Mexx outlet and Liz Claiborne outlet are the two that really stands out. I always liked the fashion and quality of the stuff that Mexx makes and at the outlet, you can save up to 70% off retail. Same goes for the Liz Claiborne where you can save some serious money on activewear, casual and golf wear. If you need ski or snowboard fashions and equipment, checkout the SportChek outlet which is clearing alot of its winter gear.
Another good stop at Deerfoot Mall is the Winner’s. I always enjoy going through the aisles where the electronics and gadgets are kept. It looks like there is stuff from the failed Sharper Image stores in the US. There you will find a great selection of iPod accessories and iHome sound systems. There are also golf balls, framed photographs of Mike Weir, Tiger Woods and more, and golf ball monogramers, putting practice cups that returns your ball automatically, golf towels, divot tools, utility belts and more.
For the big kids in us all, there are two robots to check out. iQue and a red mobile robot that can respond to your voice commands. At $79, it’s worth checking out. For the smaller kids, Thomas railway sets and accessories are an abundance there, starting at $6.99 and a mountain track set for $9.99 (selling for more at Wal-Mart). Dora, Disney princess, Hannah Montana are all waiting for little girls and plenty of craft kits are there too.

If you wear size 7 or 9 then you are in luck. Luckily for me, my foot was small yesterday as I picked up a few Keen sandals and shoes for cheap. How cheap? Almost 50%-60% off retail prices. I found a Newport style for $50 that normally sells for US$80. 
Also at $50 was the Jasper style shoe that normally goes for US$95. There were about 4 shelves full of Keen shoes, ranging from sandals to hiking shoes, some men’s and some ladies’ but were all size 7 or 9. My favorite pair of sandals is the Newport H2’s. They had a navy blue pair for $55 which is a great price considering that you can easily pay more than US$95 a pair. 
They also had Keen bags and knapsacks. For knapsacks, they had daypacks which are great for school or for a day tour. My favorite was 
a style called Burnside where a zipper along the side would reveal a compartment to hold your laptop in. Nice ample shoulder straps let you carry the bag comfortably on your shoulders or if you wish, you can carry it like a normal bag, there is a fabric handle on the side. A small mesh pocket to hold your keys, earbuds (or makeup) is hidden by the top flap, reached by unzipping the zipper on the top. The bag normally sells for US$95 but was on sale for $55.
On another floor, there was a clearance of ski wear. Everything for the snowboarder can be found here including Kombi undergarments, toques, face masks, hoodies, gloves, performance fleece and more. Rip Curl knapsacks for $30 and Australian snowboards for $300 were at hand too. Toques were clearing at 2-for-$10, a great stocking stuffer. Roots golf shirts were selling for $30 or less. And a bargain rack of various shirts and sizes in the hallway for $5. Opposite the hallway cashier was a room clearing shoes of all types, mostly sample sizes that range from 6 to 9. I managed to pick up a pair of Bite golf shoes for $30 that I have seen at Golf Town for $60 or more. LPGA visors went for $2 and golf spikes for $4.
If you’re interested in checking this out, drop by the Manchester Building at 339 – 50th Ave SE today before 3:00pm.
