£200 on a Golf bag and £210 for a putter from someone else. My Odyssey was only £120 what putter you buy for that

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Been relatively good of late although an Adidas jumper found its way home with me last week. I seem to be building a big list of stuff I want

TM cart bag (Catalina)
RBZ fairway woods
Anser 2 or Odyssey protouch #9 putter
Myjoys
Garmin GPS

Fortunately the old birthday is coming up in June (two days before Camberley) and so I might be able to scratch a couple of these itches then

HOLY CRAP! Never actually done this before and the above is probably an underestimate.Doesn't include regulars like yearly membership, society fees, green fees at other courses etc. This means golf spending has used over 10% of my annual earnings! Thankgod most of it is not a regular spend. Won't need tee's, balls or other bits for a good while.

 

[full_throttle]

72 bridgestone e6 golf balls = £62
4 shirts from TK Maxx = £50
2 shirts from USA = £20
ecco shoes from USA = £67.67
ball markers from meets = £6
tees =£5


last year was a little expensive,
3 pairs of trousers
6 shirts
5 carbretta gloves
2 all weather gloves
60 bridgestone xFIXx balls
Powakaddy Sport cart bag
Golf monthly centenary carry bag
and no doubt other items I have since forgot about
