Your local newspaper is also a great place to look for a set of clubs. All year-round you will find bargains on some quality sets of golf clubs. This also gives you opportunity to see and swing clubs. It helps to get a feel for clubs before you buy set. Check out condition of grips, shafts (steel or graphite), and club heads. Compare them to other clubs you have seen for same price. Many people are selling some very nice clubs because they have either updated their own set of clubs, or have given up game of golf.

Local golf stores and sporting goods stores are a good place to shop for a "Pre-Owned" set of golf clubs. Many are now accepting trade-ins, for new sets of clubs, and re-sale use golf clubs at good prices. Many have an in-store practice tee or net for you to try clubs before you buy them. Your nearest driving range or pro shop may also carry "Pre-Owned" sets. They might even give you a free bucket of balls while you try clubs. They can also advise you on how clubs fit your body type and swing.

Last, but not least, check with friends, relatives, co-workers, or any contact of yours (and your spouse if you have one.) Golf popularity is at an all time high, you might be surprised who you know that plays golf. Odds are, if they have been playing for awhile, they have an extra set or two in garage that they might be willing to sale. They might even let you try them out for free, to see if you like game. And wouldn't that be best bargain of all!

You should always make sure that person you are towing has a whistle, just in case something happens while you are towing their kayak. That way, you'll be able to respond right away.

There are several different towing options. First, if you only have one person who is capable of towing other kayak, then you can just use one towline and tow kayak by yourself. If there are other people to help, then you can try either V tow or an inline tow. The V tow is probably most effective method if there are two paddlers - essentially, both kayaks are attached to one being towed in a V-like formation. If there are several people who are capable of towing, you may want to try an inline tow. What this means is that kayaks are connected in a straight line, and first kayak is only one that is not being towed a little. This is helpful of most of people in your group are starting to feel a little bit tired.

Other techniques that you can use while rescuing somebody are stern tow and bow tow. These different towing methods essentially involve what parts of kayak you will connect to when you decide to give somebody a tow. It's important for you to learn several different towing methods so that when you are actually in situation where they are needed, you'll be able to figure out which method works best for you.
