It's going to be great opening packages in the next few days. I have a bunch of new gear on the way to replace my crappy third hand castouts. I have a set of Mizuno MX950 irons and hybrids on the way, and a three club set of Cleveland CG14 wedges in 52, 56, and 60. I can't wait! I'm stoked and ready to spend some range time to get aquainted with some new toys. My no-name driver and cheap TopFlite 3&5 woods are nervous, but I keep trying to convince them that they are safe, and will not be replaced(yet). My putter is spoiled and already knows it has a place in my bag forever.

Now I just need to figure out a way to be home everyday before my wife until all this gear arrives, or I'll owe her some horse stuff.

In my Costco stand bag:

Tech A4 9015D 10.5 w/stock stiff Matrix Ozik
F60 16.5 4 wood w/stock stiff Exsar
Pro Gold 18* and 23* hybrids w/ Matrix Ozik reg J36 PC 5-PW Project-X Rifle flighted 5.0 CG14 52*, 56*, and 60* standard bounce Island Series Antigua AD333

Very nice. I just purchased a new driver and a new set of irons to replace my 15yr old set of clubs. I'm still looking for fairway woods and a couple of hybrids to round out the bag. The only clubs I have that are safe are my lob wedge, and my putter... they've been very good to me lately.
Enjoy the shiny new toys!

Congrats on the new sticks.

I love those wedges.

Better fess up to the wife...and soon. I suspect horse stuff costs way more than any golfing gear, though.

Part of the joy of getting new golf stuff is the repeated tracking of the package and rushing to meet the delivery guy before the wife gets home...that's so wrong. I don't feel too guilty though. She does the same with her clothing orders.

Two things:

Oh yes. Horse stuff. When your wife complains about not having a hobby, DO NOT suggest to her anything to do with horses. Trust me here. If I could go back eight years, I would have said "knitting" or "golf" instead of "riding horses". She doesn't really care for my hobbies, which are fishing and golf, but she is "all in" on the horse stuff. Tack, lessons, boarding, hoof care, vet bills.....all that stuff. I bet the horse hobby is at least as expensive as 4-5 times a month bass fishing and twice a month golf on my local course.

Actually, I just kid about keeping new clubs from her. She's great in every way, and we are lucky enough to be able to enjoy our hobbies to just about whatever extent we want to without bothering each other about it. Horses make her happy, so I'm all for that. I'm happy to be on the lake or pulling my hair out on the course, and she's all for that, and keeping each other happy is what it's all about.

My wife's hobby is Facebook. On the one hand, that's free. On the other hand, golf is infinitely more expensive than freaking Facebook...so I almost feel like I'm sometimes not allowed to spend money on golf.

So you're saying if I can get my wife to start riding horses and stuff then I can get a new driver, 3-wood, stand bag, and wedge? Okay, I'm going to give it a shot.

Or......just go and get the stuff anyway. If she's fully engrossed in Facebook, she'll never notice. If she does happen to notice, and gives you the business, just tell her to calm down, and tell her that I said it was OK for you to get the gear.

Piece of cake, right?

      Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.

      I have nothing to add other than I freaking love her swing and I think she's hot as hell and some of my golfing buddies disagree so I fought them

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.
