Does your ban extend to Lanzarote, or aren't you taking the sticks?

 

[Dave3498]

Dividing the annual fees by 12, say £38, fuel negligible. On top of that I spent £24 on 3 sleeves of different balls, for experimental purposes. Let's call it £62. The unused balls still have re-sale value of course, so I'll have to round it down to say £45.

Worth every penny.

£300 on coaching

Jeezypeeps, Steve. You getting lesson from Leadbetter?!

 

[USER1999]

That's what I was thinking, only I thought he might have Butch along too.

 

[GB72]

Last month was not too bad for me. Courses are nearby so only about £10.00 on travelling. Am not a member anywhere at the moment so spent about £40.00 in green fees. Other than that, £15.00 on balls and 75p on tees.

Since I managed to ditch my club buying adiction, the average spend has gone right down (though I did have a go with some Mizuno MX950s the other day so may not be out of the woods yet)

Ha ha, I know. It's a 6 month intensive coaching program with Kevin Craggs. 2, 2-3 hour intensive lessons each month. Videos, written objectives etc.

It sounds expensive, but (I feel) a program like this is much better than the numerous 30 minute lessons I have had where you're just getting into the lesson then it's time to stop.

I did one last year, with the mindset if coaching like that didn't help me then I wouldn't go for another lesson again, as I must be past saving.

It did help though, handicap down from 14 to 11 and a good injection of consistency into my game. Wanted to do one this year as I felt I was getting closer to a good swing, and short game needed work.

Glad my partner doesn't read this forum!

 

[John_Findlay]

As long as it's working and you're enjoying the improvements then it's money well spent, in my opinion, Steve.

I've spent quite a lot in lessons over the last few years but it's only now I can ease off to buying block lessons of 4 x half hour lessons to take whenever I feel I have to. Works out quite cheap that way.

Money on lessons is the best spent in golf!!!

 

[viscount17]

A lot, I had (almost) 'forgotten' how much. Now you've made me remember!

£95 - course of 5 lessons
£240 - TalyorMade driver and 5-wood
£30 - Jacket (had to return the older one as the zip had gone and this was the diff between the refund and the new)
£32 - 36 new balls (Wilson Deep Reds and Warbirds) - still in their wrapping
£20 - range balls
£38 - dd on season ticket
fuel - course is both on the way home and only 10 mins away.
