Wow........ Now what did I pay???? Everything bough and sale prices (all were bought new)

m1 Driver - Friend won & I bartered with him and probably $150 worth of good

TEE 3 wood -$100

TEE 3-4 hybrids - $150

TM Speedblades - $300

Nike Wedge - $50

Nike Putter - $70

Headcover - $20 to replace

Tees - Free @ club

No rangefinder

Sun Ice Rain Top - $80

Tools - Free @ club

TM Ezlite bag - Won it.....

$920 Spent...... Insurance claims $2,500 or so to replace new....

Now go get yourself a Japanese set of irons and woods and get back to me.

I would hate to calculate based on the above?

Fun look but I hope no one is actually paying those prices. $25 golf gloves. $60 for a dz Callaway golf balls. No thanks

$18 dollars in tees?? Who actually pays for tees? Are they gold plated or filled?

Let me know if things get tight ;) I can set you up with equal quality for under $2K if you could do without the iron covers

See sig:

Driver - $120 US

4h - shop demo

Irons - $750 US

Wedges - $100

Putter - $200

Bag - $150

Total $1320- ish.

I don't count wear or consumable items like gloves, balls, tees, etc - they're like green fees.

The bag stood me about 1/2 of the prices listed (all Canadian dollars). I calculated *replacement* costs, hence why it included everything in the bag, down to tees/balls. For those complaining about $60/dozen balls, send your complaints to Callaway, I don't get to decide MSRP :p

You seem to have missed the ball retriever

Are we talking about my actual bag or the list I’m going to give the insurance company?

With replacement cost (and with likely higher cost to current model), in Can $ (add about a third for Can prices) mine is more than the OP and I'm not counting the balls, gloves etc...just clubs in the bag, bags and electronics. Went up say 20 percent in one year recently just from jump in US-CDN exchange rate.

This is quite a bit more than the sports rider on my home insurance so I pay extra for home insurnance policy rider and update the list annually for them. And keep receipts. At least every few months there is a thread on here about stolen or broken clubs and don't have insurance, or don't have receipts etc. Good luck IMO claiming that kind of dough on home insurance without a rider or at least detailed receipts.

Has anybody else ever done this exercise?

 

Breakdown:

• Titleist Stand Bag: $400
  
• Sunglasses: $50
  

Wait, what? You paid $400 Cdn for a Titleist bag? And you only paid $50 for your sunglasses?

Are you sure they weren't $400 Oakleys with exchangeable Polarized lenses?

These amounts aren't what I paid, they're MSRP in CAD :)

LOL, starting with prices paid almost exclusively on eBay...

Callaway Great Big Bertha Driver $200

Taylormade Jetspeed 5W $75

Ping G5 22* Hybrid $0 (Hand me down)

Mizuno MX-23's $0 (Hand me down)

Cleveland RTX2 wedges $175 for 50, 54 58 setup

Ping Ketsch $115

Ogio Stand Bag $65

So a total of $630.....might have to look into this sports rider for the home insurance policy.

I prefer not to think about this going on a trip later today......

Buy a Tile chip for $25 and it might just save you your money if your clubs get "lost" and hopefully you can find them on GPS

Other than that lets just hope nothing happens :golfer:

$650 into the bag, about the same to replace used. Probably $2000+ to replace new.

I guess we're assuming we want to replace what's in the current bag. What WRX'er does that? There a more new and expensive clubs to try.

That's the point of keeping a listing for insurance of replacement cost.

Such as the newer model cost of my Ping clubs. If something bad happens (I hope not, but that's why one buys insurance), the insurer probably will be ok with a different brand etc as long as it's close to the previously declared/listed replacement value.

My Miuras have actually appreciated in replacement cost for the same model since I got them, probably attributed to the decrease in buying power of CDN dollars.

I have around $2500 into my bag.

I think the point here is.

You fly to the 5 day golf trip with your buddies, your bag is gone and you need replacements now. You file your claim with your insurance company. They say go get a new bag full of stuff and your deductible is $500. You go to the Pgatss and get the cart full of stuff on your list. Show up for your money game that afternoon. No shopping around, no bst, no ebay. One purchase right now. Sounds cool to me.

Yup. Though in the scenario above, if you want to replace with other than stock shafts etc. you might be renting clubs for the golf trip and replacing clubs to your specs on return home. Or the insurer says get 'em now and we'll cover the upgrades later. But I wouldn't be surprised if the shop would not just do a free loan of demos for a couple of days on placing the order for a full bag while they did the full meal deal setup for you.

With a separate rider you may have no (or minimal) deductible and it may not affect one's overall household insurance if there is a claim depending on the policy. Mine also covers breakage.

Do they really say that ?

I've got

Fusion driver bought "new", $350 (+$100 for new shaft) 2.5 years in service

3 Adams Pro hybrids - $120 average cost per (used) 8 years

Titleist AP-1, 5-PW - about $350 (used) 6 months

Cleveland RTX-3 (3) - about $80 each 8 months

Ping Sigma 2 Tyne - $150 (used) seems like 15 minutes in service LMAO

Sun Mountain Carry Bag - $160 (new) 2 months

$1470 - not too bad,,,,,,,,,,,,,, except I'm currently thinking of replacing the entire bag,,,,,,,, strangely enough, except for the bag.

I think this scenario makes some WRXers horny.
