Drive Time Serious golfers now wait almost five years to buy a new driver, according to research firm Golf Datatech. That’s nearly 18 months longer than they did back in 2012. This makes sense. With average prices topping R10 000, investing in a driver requires careful consideration. Part of your search should include studying our annual Hot List, golf’s leading equipment guide, to be published in a special issue at the end of February. Let these eight Hot List drivers get the wheels turning and then see our full rundown. The right driver might just make this your year.
