175 million - what outrageously expensive golf item you're buying?

[Sats]

Brought a lucky dip for the euro millions after hearing its 175 million. Got me wondering what I'd buy - islands, houses, cars, love etc

What thing would you buy for golf that's ridiculous? Honma £65,000 irons, a caddie? A pimped up lamborghini golf cart what would you buy?

A house on Monte Rei on the Algarve.

As our golf club is always struggling financially i would buy the club and then spend loads of money on it, would also make the fees a lot cheaper to entice new members.

Then i would probably spend that much time there that HID would probably divorce me and take half the money

Good thread!

Maybe build a little 3 hole course in the back garden. Have it maintained to Augusta standards

Over a number of years, I would do the World Top 100

I’d buy a golf course

I'd pay for a team of employees to be on standby to book prime tee slots for Saturday and Sunday mornings hoping that it was seen as more acceptable than creating a sniping program to book for me.

Two houses I expect, one in Scotland as a base for various courses and one sunny so may be Costa Del Sol which can also be a treat for friends and family.

No way I'd be buying the golf course unless it was to be without members -can you imagine the hassle you'd have!

A heathland golf course, shut it down, turf out all the members, turn the clubhouse into my house and have the course as my back garden

No way. Imagine even after you spent millions on the course and slashed the fees, the members would still find stuff to grumble about!

A dozen Pro V1's.

Augusta ??

 

[patricks148]

castle stuart £25 mill, might try and knock them down to 20M

 

[Old Skier]

Buy our club and a million to our Hollywood stars to buy into the mighty football club a few bob to get Combat Stress back up and running and buy a brewery.

Do you think you would still feel the pain when you lost one? ?. That would be a test of whether the money had changed you.

You can lose golf balls??? I've never heard of that...

I'd buy the club, pay for it to be renovated and then give it to the members so they can have the hassle of running it. With the other £170m, I'd build a bunker to protect myself from the forthcoming apocalypse.

Lifetime membership at Wentworth, plus a nice house or 2 on the estate, that would do nicely.

Private jet to ferry friends and family to house near here https://www.golfdigest.com/story/exploring-tara-iti-a-golf-oasis-on-the-other-side-of-the-world

Give me membership at Sunningdale, membership at courses in Dubai (and an apartment out there) and that’ll do me.

I'd stretch to a dozen brand new Pro V1. Would probably still be nervous about losing one ?
