Hi guys, thought that it was my turn to show what's in my bag. I have played golf for about 2 and a half years with a couple of breaks but now i'm on it again. All the clubs in my bag are new for the year including the bag :D I practice 3-10 hours every day. 3 on the weekdays and about 9-10 on the weekends. I started playing again 2 months ago and then I had 23,3 in HCP and that is why I bought the irons that I have. A little to much forgiving. Now i'm at 10,3 in HCP. I live in Sweden so everything is a lot more expensive here than it is in the US. We have a "winter house" in Florida so that's were I spend a couple of months every year. Love it! I thought I'll tell you the prices on each club in Sweden so you get a hunch. Is it anyone here that lives in the Fort Lauderdale area and know any good course? or maybe you want to play a round of golf when I come to the US in February?

nice bag William, very solid, but i think i'd be divorced if i spend that much on clubs.

williamo · October 13, 2009

Thanks! Fortunately I have very kind parents I'm only 16 so I don't have that much of a salary. I've spent 3295$ on golfclubs this year and that is a lot.

Any thoughts anyone?

great looking bag, wish I hadda had parents as generous as yours when I was young! :rolleyes: I had to make do with pinseekers! lol

Those prices seem really expensive, wouldnt it be cheaper to buy from the states or the uk?

Dukefan1 · October 13, 2009

Not trying to be a smarty but why don't you buy clubs when you go to Florida? Those prices you listed are outrageous! Nice sticks btw!

SwingLikeElk · October 13, 2009

Have you attracted any young ladies with your bag? I was worried about girls at your age. Nice bag...hope you enjoy many rounds with them!

PixlPutterman · October 13, 2009

Yeah wow sucks to live in Sweden. Prolly could have paid half that in the states.

At first, I was gonna slam you cause i thought it was a "look at me and my money" WITB, then realized you were actually complaining

You're right, it would have been much smarter to buy it in the US but I haven't been there since last January now and the season in Sweden is so short so I bought all the clubs here in the local store. Thanks!

Attracted any ladies with my bag? No haha. There aren't so many "young ladies" in Sweden that play golf, sad but true. Most of them are ugly or immature. Thanks for the compliments.

Ha ha, yea. The prices in Sweden is insane and that sucks. But now I'm planning to have these clubs at least 2 years. But soon I will need a stiff shaft and the question is if i should buy separate shafts or new woods? I guess it's smarter to buy shafts... :russian_roulette:

Nice clubs but those prices are insane. ebay wouldve been a better option

Absolutely nothing wrong with Pinseekers my friend...
I saw a great set the other day; it's surprising just how nice the older blades look now Nike etc seem to be a very expensive rehashing of the same basic muscle back design.

63Brummie · October 14, 2009

It's a little late now :russian_roulette: but perhaps you should have travelled to London with an empty bag filled it with discounted goodies played some golf whilst here than made your way bag to Sweden LYAO all the way home...
If you ever need new stuff and know what you want THAT is what you should do IMHO, I have a buddy in Denmark and he has the very same problem..
