How many WRX have $1k bags

[DON SVO]

Driver: $180.00 (R7 head, Graphite Designs 75g S YSQ shaft)
3 wood: $150.00 (R7 CGB, stock 65g S TM shaft, 1/2" tipped and 1/4" butt end)
hybrid 3: $80.00 (TM, 70g Grafalloy Prolaunch red)
hybrid 4: $75.00 Adams pro gold (gasp! stock! Aldila proto 80g S, love it)
irons 5-PW: $ ... ... Callaway Prototype X, spined Project X 5.5
52/56/60: $ 210.00 Nike SV Tour forged, Rifle 5.5 spinner shafts
Putter: $55.00 TM Rossa Siena

Hardware alone I am at ~ $1,400... LOL it was a bit lower of a number prior to my Protos with the MP32s... that does not include the bag or GPS or balls or grips or cleats or tees or gloves etc.

[deadsolid...shank]

I shake my head at how rude they are for asking; then say sorry but if you have to ask then you can afford. I feel the same about what I spend on golf equipment and all other possessions.

 

I assume thats supposed to be "then you can't afford it", I don't think that's true, finding out the cost of something before you buy it is prudent and good business sense.

 

Anyway, on to the bag.

 

Titleist 905R $80 from the BST

Adams Hybrids (16 & 20) $100 "

Mizuono MP32's $225 used from Golfsmith

Mizuon MP T10 Wedges $100 Ebay

Mizuno Bett. BC6 Putter $120 I used $20 cash and 100 credit from tourn. winnings(50 entry fee, so really maybe $70)

--------------

$625 I really like this setup for what it costs. Couple of bags(1 carry & 1 cart) do bring it close to 1K

[thenewbie]

Ok, I'll play, but mine isn't nearly as impressive as most here.

driver- $190 used + $110 reshaft = $300
3 wood- $100
18* hybrid- $90
23* hybrid- $60
irons- $230 +/-
53* wedge- $80
60* wedge- $30
putter- $70
bag- $100
pull cart- $30

Total- $1090

Wow, I didn't think it would be that much. Well, with just the clubs its under 1k!

[_MS22_]

Vomit inducing thought just to add up the gamers let alone the items I have lying around, in the garage, in the closet, etc.

Driver: 3458 Proto with Lime TP6x I BST'd for $600
FW: 13.5 Adams 3446 with Lime 8M2 for $450
Brids: Peanuts with white HM2s $500
MP58/68: $750
Scratch 52 and Vokey 58 M: $450
Napa Limited 2006: $700

Yep, just about $3500 without the bag, shoes, balls, lessons, etc.

Yeah it is a bunch but over the past 7 years I've tallied up probably 275-300K in education, mostly scholarships and a couple grants but that money came from somewhere . . . now that is a sick number to think about.

Whatever though, I work ~55 hours a week and enjoy my free time. Thank goodness nobody wants me to tally up how much I've put into my car . . .

[98brg2d]

It's really hard to stay under $1k in Canada unless you buy complete golf sets and those even are close for the better ones.

R7 425 Driver - $250
Ping G10 4 wood - $120 (heavily used demo)
Ping G5 19° hybrid - $225 (gift from my brother)
R7 irons 4 - AW - $700
Cleveland CG10 56° BP - $90
Oddyssey putter - $90
Ogio Vaporlite bag - $150

I spent a total of $1400 and my bro contributed another $225 for a grand total of $1625. He bought nearly the same setup as me but didn't haggle with the golf shop and didn't wait for any deals and paid nearly $400 more than me.

Other clubs that I bought that I don't use are:

Fg59 irons (#133 for Canada) 3 - P - $450 (unused demo)
Burner 3w - $110 (heavily used demo)

[J Gilbert]

This is a pretty interesting topic, though I'm thinking I'm alot happier after reading it than most of you. I work at a golf course so I get things at a discount, at cost, or sometimes even free. I changed my whole setup last year with the exception of bag and hybrids, and am still less than the 1k mark.

Driver- $120, with trade ins it was free
Burner TP 3 wood- $75 from a member
Adams Idea Pro 3H and 4H- Got them with the Idea Pro irons, but I figure I paid roughly $100 each
Callaway 07 X Forged- a member that's a huge club ho gave them to me, only the P, 6, and 3 had even been hit, he had 3 sets
Callaway X Forged raw wedges- 3x $50 apiece from my pro, the 56 had seen one range session and the other two were still in the wrapping
PING Eye2 SW- free from a friend when I started golf
PING Eye2+ LW- $36 on the bay
Rife Two Bar Hybrid- $60 from a co-worker plus $9 for the jumbo grip
Bushnell Pinseeker 1500- free from the pro, it was in the lost and found for over a year and he ended up giving it to me

I know this is more than 14 clubs, the wedges get swapped out depending on the conditions and how I'm playing. It looks like my total is around $650 in all, the bag was around $120 but it was a gift from my parents, even with it added I'm still well under $1000. I am planning to get fitted at a PING nFLIGHT center in a few weeks and will probably update the driver and 3wood, depending on shafts that could put me over the mark but it'll be well worth it

[Golfwolf]

Easily over 1K with just my custom MX-200s and Cobra ZL which still leaves 3W, Raylor, 3 wedges and putter.

[johnnythunders]

My total for 1 set of irons, 2 drivers, 4 putters, 3 hybrids, 6 wedges, 1 walking bag and 1 riding bag, 3 fairway woods is 2181. I keep a spreadsheet for my golf clubs and guitar/amps.

[br61]

My bag cost me about $125.

However, I didn't add up what I have inside of my bag. Over $1k easily.

[kekoa]

I'll just say this.

Driver- $1,000
4 Tour Putters- $8,xxx

I'll stop there. lol

[ryan_k]

Ogio bag $180
G15 Driver $300
G15 3 wood $200
G15 5 wood $200
G15 Hybrid $160
G15 Irons $700
Tour W wedge 52* $120
Tour W wedge 56* $120
Tour W wedge 60* $120
Redwood Anser $250
OR
Scotty Cameron Monterey (custom shopped) $540 total
Lowe's alignment sticks $4


$2,894........ouchie

[ColinMB]

This topic would be much more.... challenging if you asked GolfWRX's to post if they had _under_ 1 grand invested in their bags.

I feel like I've stopped Ho'ing for now, and my bag is well over 1G....

My 'backup' bag is well over 1G

My stuff I don't consider backup anymore (IE: laying around the basement) MIGHT be under 1G but probably not considering putters and blades.... this is just depressing me.

This is 2 and a half seasons :p

[MBurritt]

My bag itself cost me $400....It's a Hugo Boss stand bag. Add up the rest of whats inside and yeah I'm well over a grand

[longoffthetees]

This years final set-up checks in at $1250 for the clubs.

Playing great with them as well, just shot a 67 Saturday in a misting rain.

Should have been at least 65 (missed 2 within 5 feet).

[Pepperturbo]

Disclaimer... not meant to be personalized. It doesn't matter how much someone spends on a bag of clubs, it's how he/she uses them. I'd rather see someone with a rag tag bag of scruffy used clubs that's knocking down the pin vs. someone that's mastered the art of looking good and spending $$$$ on technology help yet can't find the green; all that's left is boasting about how much.

[ckern1]

Pepperturbo I agree. I saw a guy at the home course the other day he yank hooked his drive. He had the latest and greatest golf clothes including a visor and a nice pair of shades. He walked and looked like a ******. He also held me up and played a 3 hour front 9. So he yank hooked his drive on nine. Walked over the fairway (cart path only) found his ball walked back to the cart grabbed his club. He said out loud, terrible lie I am laying up. You he lays up to the right of the lake in front of the green. After he hits the pitch shot out of t he rough he sprints to the top of the hill like he was goin for the pin ala Anthony Kim and Sergio Garcia. I just can't stand people like this.

[Pepperturbo]

Last week I ran into a guy with a brand new super-lite walking bag, somewhat new irons with fancy head covers, the latest driver and wood and hybrid long irons with aftermarket OEM expensive shafts; four nice wedges with plenty of bounce, a very expensive putter, about five fancy "named" bag tags, a towel hanging out of in his back pocket and a mighty cool gambling chip as his ball maker. Turns out he's been playing for twenty five + years, never walks, and finished 18 with 99+. You can be his bag was over 2k.

Some people are able to just enjoy being out there regardless of score. Personally, I rage if I shoot anything near 90, even tho I've only been consistently playing for 2-3 years, I expect to be low to mid 80s for whatever reason (not out of the question and not a huge accomplishment, but due to my time invested, probably a bit lower than I should be considering).

 

One day I hope to be able to enjoy golf for it being golf as opposed to my enjoyment level being so closely related to my score/how I'm playing.

$300 used Mizuno irons
$45 Ignite Head with a $15 Penley shaft from Ebay.
$25 Mizuno TZoid Sand Wedge, used
Free Vokey 60 LW (Member Guest Tee Gift)
Free Ping J Bag (won in a outing about 4 years ago)
$75 Guerin Rife 460 Tour Blade (99 minus the price match discount for Golfsmith's recent sale)
$20 Nickent 3DX Pro FW (closeout head on Ebay) with $25 Penley Stealth 80 shaft.

Total: about $475. I think I'm the golf retail industry's worst nightmare: an avid equipment junkie that almost can't bring himself to buy anything new except for putters...

And those are the expensive Mizunos that I just put back in the bag to replace the $29.00 (yep) set of Mizuno MP Grads I bought at the local GG last year.

[Prairie Golfer]

Driver: $100 (I know it's regular flex, but I have no idea what the shaft is after owning it for over a year)
3 & 5 woods: $60 (set of 2)
irons: $300 (3-pw)
wedges: $50 (set of 3)
putter: $10 (adjusted for inflation after 28 years puts it at about $30)
bag: $80

no range finder, pull/ push cart or backup sets

the balls average under $1 each


total: $600

[noblesix]

irons-950
driver-370
3 wood-330
hybrid-150
wedges-330
putter-170


2300

[GolferJeff]

To OP: Kinda hard NOT to have a $1k bag nowadays? Hell, a new set of custom irons alone is around $600-$800 bucks alone, thats just for the irons. You're not including: Driver/3 wood/hybrids/wedges/putter. You're easily looking @ between $1,200- $1,600 bucks for a good, custom made, set of clubs, that should last you about 5-8 years.



Unless you're one of the select few that can play some OTR stuff(and those are very few), you're looking to spend what I said above. I priced out my set I'm going to be buying here in the next few months: Between $1,200-$1,500, & thats hoping the guy cuts me a deal on some stuff. s***, a good bag costs over $100 bucks these days.

My Cobra S2 irons-$550-$600
Cobra ZL Driver-$250-$320
Cally FT Fusion 3 Hybrid-$150-$200
Ping G15 3 wood-$150-$200
Cally FT Fusion-4 Hybrid-$150-$200
Scratch/Vokey Wedges-$300-$400


Now it's closer to $1600...golf's not cheap. But, I figure I dont have to tinker, and keep buying other stuff now, so I save $$$ in the long run. Guys who buy expensive drivers each year, more power to them, but you're wasting $$$ IMO. Why not just get the one you have reshafted, or re adjusted? The guy I'm going to in L.A. will hook me up, he's already said so. I could save around $200-$400 bucks w/him.


Just sayin.

[SwingBlues]

G15 7.5* with AXIV red, $330
Ping S57 irons $990
Bobby Jones wedges S & G, $200
Cleveland Hybrid 2i $60
Adams Speedline 3 wood $90
Machine M2A Putter with additional shaft, $630

$2300

This would be me. Yeah, Im about to spend some SERIOUS cashola on a new/custom made set of clubs, but, I dont get all Tiger on the course, throwing clubs, and all when I f&^% up. I just remind myself that it's a game, a frustrating game, that I enjoy. Eventually, I will get better. Being a ****** on the course makes the game not so fun IMO. Im just out there to have fun, get exercise, meet new people, and enjoy myself. I'm no tour player, and I dont pretend to be.

Reaching the point where enjoyment of golf has nothing to do with the actual "game" of golf isn't likely to happen for me. Who can really enjoy shanks, hooking, 4-5 putts and carding nose bleed scores? :scare2:

It's hard to believe some people actually look for reasons to look cool and be outside, so they spend thousands on equipment and golf? Seems if all that's sought is a reason to be cool and outside, looking cool and taking a walk with no distractions or friends would be the better choice.

 

I wish you well on your "hope".
