Thanks.  LOL

Yeah it was a crazy year for golf.  First lady I've been involved with who loved to play golf and when she couldn't play, didn't care if did. She won an incentive trip to Hawaii last April, we're going to Cancun this April, but last April we flew to San Diego as a layover to Hawaii.

Day 1 - Played Morgan Run Resort & Golf Club

Day 2 - Played Salt Creek Golf Course

Day 3 - Played Torrey Pines North and South (her suggestion to play 36 holes)

Day 4 - Played Plantation Course at Kapalua (on the day we landed in Maui, pick up car and drove to course)

Day 5 - Played Dunes at Maui Lani

Day 6 - Took A Break

Day 7 - Played Wailea Gold

Day 8 - Played Pukalani Country Club before catching our flight out in the late afternoon (her suggestion to play before we left)

Day 9 - Played Indian Wells Country Club and Desert Falls CC in Palm Springs (her suggestion to drive to Palm Springs to play)

Day 10 - Flew Home to Virginia

Does she have a sister or a friend who likes to golf as much as she does? :-D

Geez Dave that is a lot of beer... Why didn't you get to play with Graeme? ..

I started getting email from GN late summer, I was one of the top bookers in this area. There was no mention of playing with him but there were prizes. But I was 20-30 rounds behind the top 5. Most likely because I book mostly single times. Yeah I like beer. I deserve it, I work hard. I get away with lots of golf because I am not married. But I pay for the booze in the gym.

I'm sure my girlfriend knows I spend a good amount on golf but if she knew I spent over $2,500 this year, I'm sure she'd question why she's with me ( O:) )

Spent a good amount on buying a new driver, 3 and 5 woods, and the ES12.

I do envy some of you guys.  I usually can only play weekends and only played 40 times this year (including 9 holes a couple of times) from April 6 - Nov. 30.

I played a crapload of golf (~110 rounds) ... most were Golf Now, EZ Links, Golf18Network, etc hot deals in PA - so didn't pay full price for a single round - I'm a total golf bottomfeeder.     Estimate I was in it for around $ $2200 even at bargain basement tee time prices ... add ahem, a couple :bugout: eBay clubs & new irons - puts me around 3 bills.      Add the wife's likewise golf obsession & I've gotta be in it for at least 5 bills... would easily double that if had to pay NJ golf tee time prices

All in, probably somewhere between $2,500 - $3,000. I've only been playing again since this summer, but that includes getting all new clubs/bag, etc. Guessing that's how much it will cost me next year as well since I plan on playing a lot more but won't have to gear up with new equipment so the 2 will likely offset. Toying with the idea of getting a membership at the local semi-private course. It's $2,800 for the year and I play the majority of my rounds there anyway so we'll see.

Too much probably.  The big one is club annual dues.   About $3,000/year.  Other than that I bought a new bag to replace my 10 year old one, a Ping driver from the used club bin , and a Adams Hybrid 3 iron, plus I did play some rounds other than the club.  So maybe a total of another $1000 overall counting balls and such.

Too much that's for sure. The beer was nearly as much as the golf. I use GolfNow and my home course is cheap but still it gets expensive. In the summer I was playing nearly every day. I'd guess I spent $300 a week with the beer.

I see you are from Brighton.  I will be moving to Greeley sometime this spring.  I'm orginally from Parker, but have lived in NY for the last five years.  What coreses do you play in norther CO?  Any good practice ranges near Greeley?

I spent £800 on clubs this yr, + £600 course membership + new bag, trolley, balls, clothing & shoes. + course fees on other clubs, + 2 golf trips (one abroad) Probably around £4000 & Worth every single penny! To be fair though, prior to this yr I was playing with gear id had for over 10 yrs! I don't normally spend this much and won't be doing again for quite a while!

Sorry can't help. The I've only golfed as far north as Windsor. Kind of funny, I am a CO native and I've only been to Greeley about half dozen times. Only thing I know about Greeley is the annual Blues Fest.

    • We do not buy extended warranties. We will use one of our credit cards for the purchase that extends the warranty "x 2". Our thoughts are: a. if the item is a lemon, it will likely break right away and we can attempt to apply the original warranty or credit card extension. b. over the long haul, we will probably save more money by not purchasing the extended warranty and fixing/junking broken items out of our own pocket. The important thing is to keep some records of purchases so one may make a claim under the manufacturer's warranty. I recently sent back some Footjoy shoes for leaking and Footjoy did a reat job of making the claim process work very well. I had the original receipt, warrant info and box. Easy peasy.

    • This is pretty much how I look at it.  I understand there are times when the piece of mind has value. I think over the long haul I'm money ahead by never buying the extended warrantee. Hell, What do I know? I went to Ch!cago PubIic SchooIs.
