When you have narrowed down what driver head you want then buy three different shafts for it to "try out" 

Not quite, but was fitted for a driver and shaft last year - but while I was waiting for my custom order to come in, I purchased (sight unseen/never hit) another shaft that went right in the head when the driver arrived ... and still haven't hit my fitted shaft because the other's so good.

yup, found my driver shaft in my hybrids

When your phone "butt-orders" a $200 driver shaft on eBay for you.  And rather than get angry,  your initial thought is that you can list it on BST if you don't like it...

[Chip Duffer]

Get fitted for a putter, wait excitedly for it to arrive and take it out of the box immediately. 

 

Sole it and realize the face looks too closed, the putter was built to standard weight rather than lightened as ordered and the grip is aligned a few more degrees closed when lined up with the sight line. Work for several hours on the putting green and on the putting mat at the house wanting it to be "the one". Finally I realize that I'll have to completely alter my set up and swing to even give this thing a chance, knowing full well that distance control is off and missed all go left. 

 

UGH!!  It'll never make it into the bag for even one round and is going back! 

[btyh]

When the current "why is the ventus so popular on tour" thread finally persuades me to jump on the BST buying one looking to try myself....  I mean I don't know if it can get any golfwrx than that.

you finally use the same fundamentals you've used for 40 years and you play decent but are still looking for 10 mph more because......

You line up at Golf Galaxy the day before a new club is introduced just like the computer nerds do at BestBuy for a new iPhone..

... and then stop at Costco on the way home to pick up 5 boxes of Kirklands. 🤣

I dislocated my knee 2 weeks ago golfing. Still using crutches and have a while before I can hit a golf club, but still looking at purchasing a couple clubs and a new set of irons.... 

[OKMrazor]

I bought a chipper (used / Ebay) so I could better understand the recent thread here. No intention of putting in the bag (beyond a weekend or so, for fun) but I had so many questions.

[OspreyCI]

Because the lady at the Post Office knows me by name.....

I finally cut up all of my Golf club boxes from the last year and completely filled my recycle bin. (The big one)

After finishing 18, you take the tees used in that round and throw them in the washer with a load of golf apparel so you have clean tees for the next round.

The stack growing under my bench is scary. I'm going to need a bigger bench.

 

Bonus points, the wife can't see under my bench without going in the garage, so it's safe.

[lefthack]

Also,

 

I bought a second 6 iron that STILL isn't a KZG to match my set. But it is another Mizuno, only slightly more blade like (MP-68) than my current Mizuno 6 iron (MP-32).

 

I am still holding out for a KZG blade 6. 🤣

CLEAN TEES ?? OK, wtf ?

[Rapidcat]

When you post in a thread about playing hybrids stating your dislike them and don’t play them then start a thread about building a hybrid because you want to experiment anyway.

[Bye]

When you have moaned relentlessly for years about lines on golf balls, and how irritating it is watching someone line up a putt.
 

But then you find out you can’t line a putter up correctly, and the best thing to help you is… a line on the ball.

When you sell.......”easily the best club I’ve ever played.” 🤦🏻‍♂️

When you walk into Play It Again Sports and recognize most of the used clubs once belonged to you!

[DavePelz4]

When you buy a $130 Phillips Sonicare toothbrush to keep the grooves in your irons/wedges minty fresh.

Related to this the ladies in Customer Services at work are familiar with me because my online golf purchases are delivered to work, not home.

i.e. 917F3 is the best 3wood i've ever hit, but I keep trying to find a replacement. what's our deal, guys...

[jwb10]

When you play awful, think about buying a boat, then return 5 hours later to practice, after buying an $80 dollar leather headcover !! (looks great with the new bag)

[jwb10]

 when you are sleeping with 1 eye open, like a kid at Christmas, because Fed Ex is delivering your new irons TOMORROW !!!!
