Jeez I hope the WAGS don't read this thread!! We'll all get shot.
The prize draw sounds a good bet as does the GM testing thing - not that I'd know about that....

Sorry folks, but you're coming at this from the wrong angle. What you do is get her to buy them for you. And the bag too.
S'what I did, and it worked a treat - no moaning at all

Hide the bag up in the wardrobe and when you eventually show it to her tell her you won it in a Stableford competition last year at the club but as she was out when you got home you forget to tell her. And you've been waiting for the decent weather to appear before you use it for the first time.
Because we would all forget to tell our wives we came first in a competition at the club wouldn't we.
I know I would...

Will she even notice? My other half wouldn't spot it unless she was in when it was delivered.

Count how many handbags she's got.
Brilliant.
Tell her
The day she stops buying more shoes and bags she doesnt need, you'll do the same.

You've broken all the rules of deceipt.
1) you were honest about how much you got for your irons
2) you were honest about how much your new irons cost
3) you have allowed her to understand exactly what kit you have
never, ever allow your missus to know about your kit. If I sold my irons and bought some new ones she wouldn't even notice. However you are in a hole now so your best escape route is they were out of balls so they sent a stand bag instead. Then take the balls out of the big box and hide the sleeves. Much easier to do.
For future reference though if you have to tell her you are selling clubs always say you got more than you did, the replacements cost less than they did and tell after the deals been done so you can play the freebie card once you've been shopping!
I have it easier now. Bills are split proportionally. I work hard and spend my disposable income on whatever I want. She has no say in the matter

Thanks for the advice lads, it's all being delivered to my work but my Mrs will notice when I bring the clubs in to be cleaned. I also play everywweekend with her family all of which would be more than happy to ask where the money came from for the purchases.
Out of balls so they sent me a bag iss the best bet I think, I can take all the balls out of the sleeves and put them in the bag so she'll never know about them.
Thanks again. I'm suprised only one person had a pop at my choice of irons as they are pretty shocking.

This is a very common situation and one that needs careful planning. Some options -
1. Give her some cash and tell her to go and get her hair done when the package is due.
2.Get the package delivered to your work address.
3.Tell HID that you're doing the gardening but use your advantageous outdoor position to intercept the postman/courier driver before he gets to the door and quickly throw the package somewhere out of sight like the carboot or garage before telling her he was just asking directions.
4. Deny everything!

Had a look at them yesterday, and they are a bit like they have been assembled from bits of transformer and mechano. Each to their own.
Like the Victory red driver and fairways though. Very nice.
My wife recognises any new kit straight away. No good hiding it. Luckily she doesn't mind much.

I explained to my missus that my new driver was £200 and when I saw the look of shock on her face I said..
"Next time I'll spend it on a prostitute if you want?"
The wife conceeded she quite likes the look of the driver, it's "very shiny".

A bit of advice I've been given...
If it's got t*ts or tyres it'll cost you money.
Buy her something nice, like a bag with the little Scotty dog on them, birds dig that sh1t.
Your bats and bag will be forgotten about instantly.

Break down and cry preferably infront of her family and admit you have a problem spending money and will seek help and you need her support have a relapse and buy the wedges with the money she thinks you are spending on therpy and they have a great recovery on the golf course as that is part of your recovery as recomended by the therpist.

what you have to remember is that minty hasn't been married that long and hasn't had time to develop the necessary guile.

He knew before hand I was going for the Nike's, he also knows that i'm booking a big group of lessons with him once they arrive so he'll be happy! how are your lessons going? he said you were improving nicely!
I have to say in fairness to other half's mine is pretty damn fine about my golf spending and as long as the credit card bill isn't silly and we're not on the road to the poor house. She's even been know to offer to pay if I ask her what she thinks of something in the pro shop or when I'm looking online.
