After eating too much and watching boring football games comes the so-called holiday within a holiday, Black Friday: the day that retailers ostensibly reach the point of being profitable for the year (hence the name "black" Friday.) There will be more than a few deals for golfers out there too, and I thought I would pass a few of them along if you happen to have someone of your gift list in need of something new.sales data from Michael Jamison at Examiner.com

Spend wisely. Me, I wouldn't hit the mall this Friday for anything. Nope, you will be able to find me on the golf course and then sitting in front of my brewing equipment knocking out a batch of Belgian Blonde Ale.
I have come to feel sorry for businesses who fall into this trap thanks to media "analysis". If they don't clear every debt they have for the last 100 years on this one day of the year, they are an abject failure and might as well close their doors.
ReplyDeleteStop putting pressure on people to shop on one day and relax. People are going to shop for Christmas and Hannukah and whatever other reason. It doesn't all have to be done on one day...but the media in this country makes it sound like the world is coming to an end if everything isn't off the shelves a month before Christmas.
No wonder we don't enjoy the holidays anymore.
I agree with you completely about the myth and madness of "Black Friday." Listen to the news and one would believe that the fate of men and nations hinges on how much we splurge on gifts for our friends and loved ones.
ReplyDeleteMe, I like to put thought into my gifts. Many of them cannot be bought in stores. For example, this year, I am treating some relatives and friends to a sixpack each of my beer, stuff I've crafted for myself for nearly three decades. They are always asking for some, and I hope they enjoy.
There are undoubtedly some amazing deals listed here. Although I've often found that I can find a plethora of deals with similar prices (maybe just a hair more) by scouring the Web. The lack of stress is worth a slightly higher price... and isn't that what we love about golf anyways??
