I had a moment, straight from a movie, when my wife opened a closet downstairs and clubs RAINED out onto her.  She drew a line in the sand after that lol.

Did that drive a wedge between you two?

I explained it to my wife this way...Some guys have affairs.  I buy golf clubs.  She usually changes to a more pleasant subject and I never again hear about that particular purchase.

thats genius, definitely using that one next time

Agreed, that is why I love this site.  Always getting fresh ideas!!!

Hit a KZG zero offset on the range one day.  went to the store and ordered 2 iron thru GW that day for $ 1600.  Played with them once.  they are still in the closet having never been hit again.  The worst thing about that set is they're worth so little used...

Last year I bought 3 different r11's.

I don't even know what else to say in this thread.  I've owned at least 25 sets of irons in the last 3 years.  At least 20 drivers in that time too.  I've had my current set of irons for 8 months and it seems like 25 years!  I'm keeping them though......for now. LOL!

I wanted to tell the kzg story for you because that is the worst hoing story I know but i thought it would be too rude.

I have had 3 910's and 3 r11 drivers, 2 r11 3 woods the last year, so im just as bad. The other day at the range i picked up one of my buddies drivers and said "this thing is sweet, where did you get it?" and he said "thats your old driver", LOL!

I took back the Kevin burns I gave to my buddy when I switched to the belly b/c he lost the head over and it was clanking around.  I told him he could have it back if he bought a head cover and showed it to me.  Several months later he did, but unfortunately I had already traded the Kevin burns for another belly putter.  My friend wasn't too upset though as I completely retooled him in exchange for him paying my green fees for a weekend 4 round marathon.  The funny thing was he haggled with me over taking my 3rd string backups vs my 4th or 5th string backups....

You know Thrillhouse...I had a similar situation happen in mid-Feb.   I was recently thinking about my first "nice" putter (other than my initial Kmart purchase) that I bought.   It was Prairie Golf (local company) mallet putter.   Well...I couldn't remember what I ever did with it.

I was visiting a buddy in Tucson, AZ for the World Match Play Championship...anyway, we had an afternoon to kill, so we went out to play 9 holes.   At that moment, I saw the putter in his bag and forgot that I had given it to him.   He's not a very good golfer, but I was hoping to share some nicer equipment with him.   Sadly, I cringed when I saw him put it in his bag without the headcover clanking against his irons.   I had to remind myself that it was his putter now....

So I know this is a bit off topic, but I remember Prairie Golf! We used to carry some of their equipment in our Pro Shop where I grew up. I just looked them up and I can't believe they are still in business.

I think I still have one of their putters.   Tough industry to compete in...especially as a small company.

Fixed your post.   I think you embedded your write-up into my quote.   Good story though!

[Titleist_242]

I always tell myself that I will wait to buy something else until the original purchase arrives, have not been successful since Christmas Eve of 2011,

[4dr.no]

I'll play.

Last week, bought a set of J40s in the dark (i.e., without ever hitting one).  Followed up 2 days later with a set of Miura CB 202s before the J40s even arrived.  Now I'm on the hunt for a set of Miura wedges and the CB 202s irons are still in transit!

Is that wrong?

I need Dr. Phil and an Exorcist:

*I've got 16 pairs of golf shoes[5 are still new and in the box]
*13 drivers
*3 bags
*4 fairway woods
*7 putters
*4 sets of wedges
*15 golf shirts that are still in the plastic
*and 7 sets of clubs

...honestly, at this point, I'm not sure what my wife is aware of and what she isn't. I just need a good box of Calgon and a HUGE tub of water.

Ok I'll expand a little more on last night.

My daughter caught a stomach bug and couldn't keep anything down since the morning.  We were instructed to go to the hospital and get an IV and such.  So I packed wifey's iPad into the diaper bag without her seeing it.  While in the room waiting for a Dr. to come back I found a great set of wedges for sale in the BST.  Boom sold and paid for before the Dr saw my daughter, LOL!!!

Yesterday here is what showed up:
New FJ Icon shoes (wrong size)
R11 8* head
TM 07 burner 14.5* 3 wood

Today so far:
Tour Issued Superfast 2.0

Tomorrow scheduled:
TM 425 TP
3 wedges

Monday:
Another Tour Issued Superfast 2.0

Don't think I have anything else on order, yet.  

Now if I could get my boss to put a net up in the warehouse I'll be set.  Highly doubt that.

The ho strikes again. Well keep on ho'ing. Better not burn a hole in your wallet Joeypole

Wow mtomaro09, you're vying with Joeypole and Skaffa77 for biggest ho on the WRX site, or have I not seen the big one yet?

[lsf_21]

I know this is nothing like a lot of people her.e

But I have really been playing golf for 2 1/2 years.

I just bought my 3rd set of irons. I have had 3 drivers. 2 different fairway woods. 5 different hybrids. I cant tell how many wedges I think I am on my 5th set. At the beginning of this season I bought my 3rd putter. I went from an Odyssey #9 to a Cameron Del Mar.



Edit- Didnt think anything about the fact that I have bought 2 different golf bags and 3 pairs of shoes. I have also bought 15 or so shirts just for golf.

I suppose the nice thing about being abnormally tall is that I can't just buy iron sets standard. Anything I buy would need to have an inch added on, lie angle adjusted, and all that jazz.

Lucky for me I guess, it saves me a ton of money, but I'd love to hit all the new stuff. So I guess you win and you lose.
