The Cheap Bastard likes things that are inexpensive and that should go without saying. And his Royal Cheapness would never steer you wrong or give bad advice. Don't for an instant confuse me with my brother Rat.

Because here's the thing, El Bastardo may like things cheap, but he prefers them free. You know that saying "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth"? Ok, I don't really know what it means either, but free is better than cheap. Just ask my sister Free.

So here's a freebie for you: PGA Professional Joe Beck's video golf tips.

Oh, I know what you're saying "Wow, free golf videos from the place that pays you. How original." But here's the thing: These videos kick ass. I am not joking one bit. They are sponsored by Callaway Golf Pre-Owned, and they are as well made as you can imagine and really teach you something.

Here, go watch this video of Beck showing you how to navigate getting your ball out of a bunker when it's plugged. I'll wait ... still waiting ... I'm here, take your time, watch the whole thing ...

Ok, seriously, how good is that? Beck is a natural in front of the camera, and his videos are truly primo stuff. And they're free ... like my sister (couldn't resist).

So take it from your buddy Cheap, free is the best way to go, and Joe Beck's video golf tips are as good as getting a free golf lesson.
