$150 Challenge! What are you buying...

[Mizzy10]

$150 Challenge - You have $150 to spend at a used golf store:  What are you buying?   

 

Go!

[MattM97]

Search the used putters for something that needs a little TLC to clean up and flip. 

[Mizzy10]

So not a Hammer X Driver?!  Normally $450, today only $129???! ha

 

[GLF4EVR]

This is where I would look like a woman in a large clothing store that has everything on clearance.  I would be looking over everything. 

[SammyShaf]

Rusty 588 RTG and Oilcan/Raw Vokeys.  Stamp them, paint them, and wait for soggy winter weather to end.

[BirdieBob]

An old mistreated Scotty that just needs some TLC/refinish.

[YMark]

I'd look for a Perfect Practice putting mat.

[Roejye]

I'm actually ok with my setup (for now, the enthusiast doesn't die, it just lays dormant), so I'd probably spend it on a fitting.

or you can be that guy who sells it on bst for $140 😂

Wedges are like socks, you can never have enough.  First choice would be to add a gamer 60° Zipcore/SM7/Hi Toe, would have to be mint condition.  Otherwise I’d try to duplicate a practice set from my current 56-60 options.

[GHIN n Juice]

Any driver with an aftermarket x-flex shaft so I can pull the shaft and sell it here for $300.

[SmashGolfBall]

Costco kirkland wedges (3 pieces), may need another $20 out of the pocket

[dhen9]

1. Ram Zebra

2. Acushnet Bullseye gamer quality

3. Big Bertha Warbird Strong 4

I think all three are quite possible with a buck and a half. 

[Mych]

Backup Ping Anser 4w and anything weird/fugly that catches my eye. 

[orangeology]

some dozens o' 5A Pro V1s or

a couple o' Scratch wedges or

a decent conditioned Kia Ma putter? 

i've got 150, but do they have everything i'd want, tho? 🙂

 

 

[Rory4Pres]

hmmm....maybe try out every club in the store at their hitting bay and eventually after 3 months of doing that when they are just about to blackball you from the store, buy the club you like the most.  This way you got to try out a ton of equipment and hit free range balls for 3 months.  

[hybrid25]

I don't need a whole lot right now, my bag is just waiting the winter out. Although, I do need to add some grips to about 5 clubs. So to answer the op's quesion, I would buy some new grips, grip tape, solvent, and regrip some clubs. This might only take about $50 or so for the rest of the money I am really stumped on what to do with it. I don't like spending to just get rid of the money, but I don't need anything else right now, not even golf balls.

[lefthack]

I just bought my missing 3i and hope to also get the 4i and once built they should be about $140 total for both. 

 

Kinda sad to spend $140 to add the 2 missing clubs from my $125 set. But happy to have the full set and good luck finding a full set for less than $300.

[Jack Pearsall]

Oh, some hard to hit blades with the wrong shafts, you know, the usual

[Nachosgrande]

$150? A couple bags of tees and a dozen balls.

[Drivingrangehero]

A range finder, since I do not own one!

[forrester_fire]

Probably a 5w from sometime in the last 5 years, maybe an OG M2.

I know that was meant in jest, but it's probably not a bad idea for someone who wants to scratch the blade itch but doesn't want to break the bank on what is ultimately a fool's errand.

[Milfordlefty]

A Ping LH G400 22° hybrid or maybe a Cleveland UHX LH 4 iron. And likely still have some money left over. I got rid of my G400 hybrid last year when I rebuilt my bag. Now realize Ping makes hybrid with a flatter lie angle than other OEM's. So I am back in hunt. But as it is a club I may only use 2-3 times a round, I am trying to be cheap!

[gripandrip]

Old, cool classic looking blades from an era gone by. Or the 3 iron I'm missing from my Spalding Forged Topflite irons...

As many square strike wedges as you can buy

I gamed a zebra all through high school and my dad won a bunch of club championships with one.  In high school mine had a white ankle sock for a head cover.  Very classy look!

[tannyhoban]

New shoes!

[jomatty]

I’d buy some shoes.  I’ve got two new pair I’m saving for spring but the shoes that were supposed to last the winter are starting to make my playing partners look at me funny...

[Stinger83]

Either a new practice hitting net or some new polos
