Bit late, but last week got an Airfryer. Sure it's not golf, but OMG what a product! What have I been doing with my life? Oh, and two ceiling fans, due today. Golf stuff is far to expensive!
I bought today.....

Wish I was a mate of yours , I bet you’ve got some great 2nd hand gear to sell .I booked a LAB putter fitting on the back of a half price fitting fee offer, as the biggest LAB set up outside of the US (Scottsdale).
I thought £125 (full price) was bonkers and still half of that is bonkers, but it's a morning spent doing something I will find interesting. Session is 1.5 hours.
Obviously, as ever, fitting fee is haggled off the price of new gear, but can't actually see me ending up with one.
But with me, who knows

Bought a Garmin S10 watch from our club pro . We’ve been told by him that we have to spend what we have in our accounts by end of December or lose it ( I’m sure this isn’t lawful) my GolfBuddy watch stopped working so needed a new one .

I actually think my mate tops you
He started golf 1.5 years ago. Think we up to 7th putter now
Then he was fitted for a driver, changed the grip same day.. then sold it. New one. Used that for 3 months bought the custom fit spec back now has a Callaway lol
I played with him last week and then saw him Tuesday. Since then he had bought a set of TM p790s and sold them on as didn't like them

Various woods
2 driving irons

Until I was properly fitted, during my first club year I had 3 iron sets, 4 drivers, scared to discuss fairways and wedges are off the scale
Putters are free game and no golfer should have less than half a dozen!
If I had my time over again, I'd buy a basic set of clubs, get lessons, play loads and then get fitted. Even when fitted, you have to play the course with them and tweak them. For me, that has been minor loft adjustments for gapping. The one thing I do think I will change is the 5 hybrid for the 5 iron. Fitter didn't think my swing speed worked for anything below a 6 iron (which I hit really well), but the hybrid is not something I play well with, so that is the only 'gamble' I may try.
And yes, I do get wrapped up in the whole tech thing, but after buying things for obscure reasons, at least I now have some logic to it...

In the same time as his revolving bag I've been fitted for a driver, irons, picked up a Scotty and a 3 wood that matches the driver. Along with 1 wedge to gap
Considering my last set of irons was 2016 and my last driver was a head off here to try something I haven't done too bad aha

I'm not a huge buyer of clubs but putters least of all. I've bought two in the forty odd years I've been playing golf.

EBay makes things easier now.
You can buy something try it and sell it for very little loss , sometimes a profit.
So my clubs have a sort of revolving door . Expectation,disappointment, eBay. In that order.

Jeez if you think golf clubs are expensive.
Some new bikes now are eye watering.

True that. I bought a 3 wood from Callaway Pre-owned a couple of months back, didn't get on with it and sold on eBay for no loss!EBay makes things easier now.

I bought a second hand Petron Impala putter in 1976 for £5. I still have it.
I bought my current putter, Ben Sayers Opel Line One, brand new in 1989 for £25. I won about three times that much this year by holing putts for 2s with it.

Yes, there are options, but I didn't order the 5 iron with this new set and am hitting the other irons so well, I might gamble on the iron (2 degrees weak), as my hybrids and fairways have always been hit and miss.
