How do you avoid temptation of new shiny bats?

I was on my way out the door to "on a whim" buy a new putter on Friday, HID held me up and I missed my slot. I putted great on Saturday and Sunday so Scotty is well safe.... I have no idea why I was even looking.

Must be the company you keep, putting bad ideas in your head lol

Ye, I duno what I was thinking but I had already ear marked the putter for you before I even bought it... It just had a nice, strange, machine like feel the week before but I think the Cerca 62 is reasonable on all green and speeds... Its as close to your old Newport 1.5(is that what it was/is) in that regard as I have found.

What ever happened to that putter? Ali got it? did you referb it?

I just tell myself I don't need them and that buying them just because I want them is never I good thing and is extravagant nonsense that I can't justify either to myself or my wife. Besides to covet anything is never a good emotion to have.

Bit hippy but I agree with this... good way to live life!

As we are getting philosophical, is not the journey often better than the destination?

I think the earlier comparison with women was better :thup:

for me it is fairly easy. I love looking at new equipment but whenever I get the urge to splash out I just think of my financial commitments; mortgage, baby girl (12 weeks old) and wife on maternity leave. As soon as I think of those three things, the urge has gone.

I did however buy new driver, 3 wood, irons, 2 new wedges last year (all on insurance though as my old kit was stolen from my garage). They also chucked in new shoes, a bag and 48 balls for me. Happy days.

If I were to covet the wife of the man next door whether she was attainable or not I would spend my life walking about (or more to the point lie in bed) thinking 'what if?' and living my life with 'what-if' stamped on everything I do would lead me to an unhappy life. I must learn to accept my lot in life, and with acceptance I at least have a chance of being happy and contented and to the extent I allow or enable myself -successful (now that's me being philosophical - as I have to be )
