OMG

I make that over £1500

this year 2011-2012, I won't be spending much on clothing, I'm losing less balls so that should drop by half.
I'm guessing this years cost will be around £1000

I go to over £1800 with my subs and away days and that DOESN'T include fluids
I spent nowt on balls last year and probably nowt this year, still have around 5 doz boxed.
Won't be getting any shoes this year as still have a pair of dryjoys in their box from last Christmas.
Spent £300 on clothing in the sales since boxing day.
Gloves around £80 per year
comp fees about £240

New bats???? who knows

JF, two gloves for the year, TWO???. I can go through two in a month if I play a lot.

You forget I'm Scottish, Dave. Turn them inside out when they're worn and go left handed for the back part of the season. Cheaper that way.

Got a nice new Calvin Klein one for Xmas. Nearly fits too. If you've worked with hammers a lot.

How about side bets?
Are you up, down or about even?

 

[John_Findlay]

I'm £2.20 up over the last 15 years, Bob. Not that I'm counting the pennies.

 

[John_Findlay]

I see practice balls and lessons take up a large proportion of everyone's accounts here. I guess that's why I'm not following you all on Twitter right now.

You're not still playing 2 bob bits?

 

[John_Findlay]

Oh, I splash out to a pound, a pound, a pound nowadays but but 20p camels seems right.

 

[bobmac]

Does that mean you and your partner have to pay 20p if you both get the hump?

Oh sorry, forgot to include the odd lesson too....

I do not want to create a budget for golf, especially if there's a chance of leaving it where others could find it!
