my only real affliction here is putters and clothes, the rest I tend to have and stick with so only partially affected. Had 5 different putters last year (2 Scottys I still have, a Scotty thats with Alex a Yes I leant to another mate and havent reseen and an Odyssey I sold)
earlier this yr I picked up another Odyssey that I havent even used yet another mate has decided he is buying this off me, came very close to ordering a metal faced Odyssey this morning to try, I have a £100 voucher to use (adidas shoes that fell apart) so could get a metal faced one for £9. Think resistance may be futile, its that or I but a Scotty c62 no 5 off ebay lol!!!

Also bidding on a putter on ebay today.
I don't need a putter, I need to practice my putting. But which do I choose to do....

Carry on as you are and buy what you want, but just buy a bigger bag. You can take as many clubs as you like onto the course, you'll just have to declare a couple of sets out-of-play. Simple.

I've probably spent < £100 on gear this year and I can't see that changing.
Unless someone's selling a decent swing, I could do with one of those more than anything.

Spent heavily last year but this year with the exception of the "consumables" I have only bought a driver from Darth and don't intend on changing much (other than removing the 4i from the bag - nothing will replace it though... for now!)

Hi Alex.
My name is Jon and I too have a problem.
Your story is a very familiar one to me. I am exactly the same, craving all sorts of golfing equipment, pictures, ball markers, Pitch repairers, clothing and the like.
I live in hope that I now have all the equipment that I will ever need, but I fear that after I have read the latest
copy of Golf Monthly, (which has just dropped through the letter box) I will find something else to purchase.
Recent acquisitions include a golf jacket, bushnell v2, adidas street golf shoes, RBZ Driver and 5 dozen golf balls.
Perhaps a help group should be set up for poor souls like us?

Welcome to the forum Jon, if you read this whole post you will see that we have setup a group called GA, golfers anonymous. I am not sure though if its going to be a help for us or a way of encouragement to one another....
Damn, damn and double damn!
To add to the list I posted earlier in this thread my new shoes arrived today. FJ Contours, white with a brown saddle, and BOA lacing.
Thankfully son no3 is a pro and he cut me a deal...

I joined the forum October 08.
In that time I have purchased....
Callaway X18 irons (shafts too stiff)
MD Tungsten Ti2 irons (still have)
Mizuno MX200 irons (custom fit, crap)
Ping i15 irons (loved but sold)
Cobra S3 irons (current squeeze)
MD Superstrong Driver, 3 and 5 wood (sold)
Ben Sayers Benny Driver (still have)
Ping G10 Driver, 3 wood and 5 wood (sold)
Ping G15 Driver, 3 wood (sold)
Ping i15 Driver and 3 wood (still have)
Cobra S2 driver, 3 and 5 wood (current squeeze)
Cleveland Launcher DST Driver and 7 wood (still have)
MD putter (gifted to Craphacker)
Yes Tracy putter (in use)
Gokart
7 (or is it 8?) pairs of FJ shoes
Garmin S1 Approach watch
SkyCaddie SGX2.5 (sold)
God knows how many pairs of golf trousers (I think I've bought about 6 pairs this year alone) and golf shirts I've bought, some I've never even worn.
And I guess I've got through about 6 or 7 different cart bags in that time too.
This was a very bad post!!!!!!!....you made me take a look at how many irons I have had in the time since i joined my golf cub in May 2009
Staggeringly it is 11 sets......
2 x Callaway ( x forged)
3 x Nike ( VR combo, VR cavity, VRII blades)
1 x Wilson (FG tour)
4 x Mizuno (MP62, MP60, JPX800 pro, MP62 Nickel)
1 x TaylorMade (MC)
My disease also spread to woods, so every time I changed my irons, I had to change my woods, (driver, 3 wood & 2 x utility)....so I have had:
2 x Callaway (ERC2, Diablo black tour)
2 x Nike (Sumo, VR)
2 x Ping ( G10, i15)
1 x Mizuno (MP fast track)
1 x TM (R11s)
Don't even want to start adding it up, but on irons and woods alone it has to be over £10K
probably around £1500 on shoes & the same on bags. and again on putters
Throw in an SGX, 2 powakaddies & a Bushnell..........don't get me started on clothes
Alex...when was the 1st session????
