Hi I am Alex and I have a problem!

I cant stop buying golf equipment, even when I think I am happy I still seem to keep spending. My bag is just about perfect and everything is pretty new, my driver is a little old but I love the thing! So why am I bidding on a 910D2 on ebay?

Last night I was reading a post in the review section on here an came across the one one the range finder, I read it from top to bottom just before bed and then dreamed about it all night long. I was actually dreaming about taking yardage measurements on my home course... SAD!

In truth I do enjoy it, but it is a problem when you have come to the point where you love and trust everything in your bag but still look though ebay every day like its a sport for something else to spend money on that is golf related.


My wife has actually given up on bitching about it and yesterday asked if she could see my new 24* 910H, she was my last form of defense, although not really, I am a bit like The Craw in that I tend to keep my addiction private from the Mrs.

I know I am not alone out there, there are a few more golf spending addicts among us. Have any of you found the point where enough is enough?


HELP!!!(I don't really want help!)
 
I am the same. Always tinkering and looking at new bats. Once I have 2 new shafts in my driver and 3 wood, i should be about there!
 
I too suffer from this. Only been playing the game just under 2 years and have so far gone through 2 sets of irons
4 drivers 3 bags 4 putters and still browse ebay etc for something else that I "need".
All I need now is a new trolley and I am set for 5-6 months I reckon.
 
The day I think my bag is complete will be a sad one... I can't stop looking either.

As long as we are spending money we can afford, then no problems.

I'm not naive, I don't think I am going to find a magic club to buy a game, but I like equipment, talking about it, loking for it. Why not? :thup:

Despite my previous post about being obsessed with gear, the list you spelled out there is identical to what I've had in 20 years playing the game! Get help! ;)
 
Yep, I have spent a grand since Friday, and still don't really have a golf swing.

I didn't need any kit, of any kind, but the lure of the shiny stuff runs deep.

I could have written this.

I love looking at golf stuff and often trawl ebay while the Mrs is watching some guff on the box.

Even accidentally won a putter the other day, didn't think my bid would be anywhere near but won. I evfen quite like it :)

Alex, give me a shout if you change the driver, I may be interested in yours....:whistle:
 
it will never stop there is always something out there to look at, i have prettty much refreshed my bag and am happy with it but still cant help looking at offers emails ebay AG the lure of something new will nver cease, although i have manage to refrain from buying any new polos for 6 whole months mainly because i still have new ones in the bag and a constant reminder from HID! :-)
 
bought new blades last year, changed the grips, changed the grips back, sold old driver, bought new driver, sold driver, need new driver, need new wedges, bought new putter, sold new putter, regripped old putter, re-regripped old putter, bought new balls, bought skycaddie, bought electric trolley, bought cart bag..........all this in the space of a few months............looks ridiculous when written down:rolleyes:

Dreaming, yes actually dreaming about getting a set of Ping i20's to replace my beautiful shiny MP69 blades and I know it will cost me.

I think I want the fun back in golf again as well as hopefully shooting good scores.

We need GA (Golfers Anonymous):whistle:

Al your never alone pal :):):)....

Iv been here with my leg in plaster for the past 9 weeks and last weekend was my first proper game back in my shoes.....
Since then i have my eye on Nike Lunar Control shoes, i need a carry bag and i have to get some good comfy trainers as well...Oh and i want to get my Wilsons regripped.... :eek:

I have 80 euro credit in our club shop which should make a good dent in the Nike's but ill have to literally rob a bank for the rest :)

What shaft do you have in your D3?


Murph, what do you buy?

Gary, pleasure!


This post maybe dangerous for us GA members!!! should we really all be in the same place at the same time?
 
Oh dear you lot do have it bad don't you?!

I like buying new golf clothes and have way too many golf shoes but don't like chopping and changing my clubs. My game has been in the doldrums for a few weeks - maybe more than a few - but a change of clubs has never entered my mind. Only exception is my G20 hybrid which I have had a love/hate relationship with since we met so I have been watching some G10/I15/Rapture alternatives but none have been within my budget...
