The NFL has a long offseason and it’s important for players and fans to rest and recover ahead of the brutal grind that begins in training camp in late July.
New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner has apparently taken up a popular hobby this offseason, and for his sake, the season can’t come soon enough as this hobby is draining his bank account.
Gardner shared on X today about his trials and tribulations that have come along with taking up golf, saying “paying $54.99 for some golf balls just to play 18 holes and lose them all” is causing golf to be “very expensive.”

Gardner added that golf is “the only thing that I’ve ever been addicted to.”

Golf is indeed an expensive hobby, and the best way for Gardner to save money is to get better and stop hitting so many balls into the woods and the water.
Luckily for Gardner, he is on a $33 million rookie contract, so even if he lost 18 balls every day, he should have enough money to last until training camp.
Gardner’s career has gotten off to a fantastic start, as he has quickly become one of the league’s most dominant shutdown corners at just 23 years of age.
If Gardner is going to be losing 18 balls per round, perhaps he should opt for cheaper golf balls at this stage of his golf journey.
Paying just over $3 a ball just to smoke them all into the woods never to be seen again is not the best way to allocate your finances.
