Club purchases how often, how many in a week or month?

[pm hacker]

For all you ho's out there

Since I work & golf with a certain member of this forum who is a bonafide ho' I'm just wondering how many clubs do you guys/gals buy a week or even in a month. Does it stay in your bag for quite awhile, get put in your ever growing club collection or sold off to finance your future purchases?

At least ten or so clubs a month for me. Some stay in the bag some don't. Some are just toys I keep in the box and don't play with. For me if there is something better than what I am using or what I perceive to be better I buy it.

Drivers all the time, most of my other clubs are in the bag.

I am a bit of a streak buyer, i usually get several items at once, most of the time its prerelease or harder to get items.

 

Example:

 

My last big purchase was: TP 460 R7 Tour, HFS R7 13* Tour and Satin Tour Y Cutters.

 

695 MB's Tour, 660 MB's, 905R Tour the time before

 

585H, 906F (2) another time.

 

I guess i am a binge buyer, i get the urge to buy and then i buy whatever i can find. I will buy the onesey twosey items as well but more of a bulk buyer, I am the Costco of club ho'ing i guess.

Maybe 1-2 clubs a year. Last year it was new wedges, year before that new irons, this year a new driver. Used the same putter for a decade. See 8-10 guys on tour using it and feel like I don't need an upgrade if they don't.

I wish I had your self control. Adding up the amount I've wasted buying equipment almost makes me cry.

I've been thru a ton of clubs this year trying to create my perfect bag (or at least close enough). While I would love to keep all the clubs I need to get rid of the old clubs to finance the new clubs (or my wife would cut off my.... you get the idea) Because of this, I have stayed with Callaway Products. They give you great values for trade-in trade-up and their buy and try policy at Callaway Golf Pre-Owned is great.

 

I have basically completely re-built my entire bag 3 times this year and finally have what I think is a winning combo so hopefully my ho'ing days are over.

 

Thanks,

Aah, ho'ing is a hard habit to break , thank goodness I have never developed the "habit" as of yet ;)

I used to spend about 5 gs a month during the summer. This year I've really curbed my spending habit and am satisfied to the point where I am only buying and trading about 2 clubs a month and I think i am very close to completing my bag. Geez I remember saying this in about 5 other posts :diablo:

Well I pretty much re did my bag this year before the season started(i know there old clubs but anyways). Since Late june when I bought my wedges I havent bought anything because my parents said I couldnt buy new clubs for the rest of the year. and I have to spend my money on getting ready for snowboarding so mines limited to early golf season..until I get a job:)

me ill do a little research and review reading before getting a club and demo at least a dozen. so maybe 1 club a month or 1 set of irons every year

My Problem is I'll do a litle reseach, review reading, and Demo clubs even after I purchased a club

Well I work at a golf shop so I get clubs when ever they come out as SOON as they come out. I have almost all the newest drivers, fairway woods and hybrinds including the Ping Rapture, witch is SWEET!

[dorfblee]

I tend to buy more stuff the less often I play. Weird. Since I can't get a golf fix on the course, I look online and of course find deals I just can't pass up.

 

It's very rare that I will have a club in the bag that just does not work for me- I'm hitting everything great except that one club.

 

After having my entire set pinched last year, I've only picked up two drivers, 3 fwy woods, one set of irons, and two wedges. The putters I've used were all old ones either in my closet or my pops' closet. Suprisingly, I thought there would be more . . . I've reshafted three times.

 

Maybe my ho days are almost done?

I am not a ho yet, but I am working on it!!! :D. I usually get 1 or 2 clubs a month. somethings things last for a while (r540 with stock shaft) so I don't replace it, so no need to buy clubs(and lack of money means no clubs) like my cleveland 588 chrome(to shiny) lasted a month and a half, I didn't like it so I got a spin milled, I like that alot so I will use it till the grooves are bad, then get whatever is new then. also sometimes I go to comit on one club and get another so I never know what I am going to get until it happens. I gave my month and a half old 588 to my friend who needed a gap wedge. he treated me to 2 or 3 rounds of golf so I had to pay him back.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with this problem!!! Not only do I switch clubs often, but I'm always searching for the perfect shaft and head combo in my woods. The most bizarre thing is that I'm scratch and I know that I just need to dedicate more time to my short game and putting to score better. Where's the fun in that-
