Dying over here! So we read in today’s Post that legal scalpers are charging $850 for tee times at the Bethpage Black golf course—host to this week’s U.S. Open—and we got to wondering whether there weren’t cheaper courses in Brooklyn. There are, of course… but Tiger doesn’t really play at them, they’re still kind of expensive, and who are we to say if they’re any good, and plus we found something even more exciting to tell you about: free summer golf lessons for kids at a beautiful new Brooklyn course!

While doing the morning rounds we came across a series by Daily News reporter Denise Romano on bargain shopping in various Brooklyn neighborhoods, covering pharmacies, dry cleaners, grocery stores, barber shops and the like. We’re naturally skeptical of any list with a C-Town on it, but there look to be at least a few good tips on these pages. Click on your neighborhood and judge for yourself:

Move toward the light. I’ll back up slightly: Leave the N train at the Fort Hamilton Parkway stop, exit onto the parkway, look to your right, and move toward the light. That would be the floodlit mountains of fruit and vegetables piled in bins along the sidewalk outside Circus Fruits, at the corner of Fort Hamilton Parkway and 60th Street.

Eventually, one must accept that six cups of coffee per day will turn pearly whites into canary yellows. What to do when you’ve decided that you wouldn’t mind smiling on occasion? Get ‘em bleached—but don’t just go with whatever price your dentist rattles off. We comparison shopped for the three major teeth-whitening procedures at 100 licensed dentists from all over Brooklyn and found the cheapest ones.
