UA makes good stuff but it's just so damned expensive

Even at their outlet stores, there is rarely a deal to be found


Yeah I'm not paying $65 for a golf shirt when I can get a decent one at a regular outlet store for $25. That's getting up there with LSU fishing shirts and Coaches shirts.

Who is going to pay over $70 a shirt in a dying market (golf apparel/equipment)? More courses are closing year after year. Not sure if it makes a big difference. Had Spieth been around 1997-2007 he would have made a difference. Golf is nowhere near what it once was, in terms of popularity.

UA is overpriced


TW polos are over $100, but Nike isn't overpriced?

Now 1 thing I agree that is overpriced is golf pants. All companies want a ridiculous amount of money for polyester pants, typically around $100. Throw in TW shoes and you're sitting at $400+ for one golf outfit not including hat and belt.
