Has Now Found His Wedgie
I`m currently in Japan visiting the inlaws, and had a bit of time to kill after lunch today so decided to visit a couple of golf shops. I`m on the verge of buying a new Scotty Cameron putter (when I get back), so have been traipsing to and from a couple of shops to try them out. Have narrowed it down to 2 (fastback, or most likely squareback), both are very nice and feel great when I`m trying them, but it`s a lot of bloody money to spend, so want to make sure I`m happy before parting with my hard earned. Hence the continual visits.
Anyways, set off this afternoon about 1pm and have just gotten home at 8pm after visiting 6 different golf shop/ megastores....... Can anyone beat that?
Could have done a 7th , but saving that for tomorrow morning
The sad thing is, I haven`t bored myself yet!
As you may know, the Japanese are golf crazy, hence the plethora of shops and absolutely masses of gear available. They have loads of interesting bits and bobs, not to mention a vast amount of clothing that we don`t see, the only downside is that the yen is so strong against the pound at the moment, I`m really having to reign myself in and be strong against the urge to buy.
One golf shirt is the same as another I hear you say, and that`s probably true enough, but what can I say, I`m a bloke and I like new things........
They have some fantastic tour bags available (Mono!), but they don`t seem to make any trolley/ cart bags at all, which is rather a shame, but probably good for my credit card.
Anyways, only 3 days left, the sales are still on, only enough time for one more store tomorrow, maybe one on Friday before heading back to good old blighty.
