Golf Sets or Golf Games ???

Golf Sets or Golf Games ???

Golfer A, this golfer loves to buy new golf sets, Driver, irons, wood, putter, the latests in town or just to change clubs as he pleased. If he can sleep with his golf sets, he will. But he will not spend more than certain amount to play a good golf course, anything more than his home club, he will give a miss. He continue to change clubs but only play at his home club. Reason:-  rather pay for a good golf sets and keep it than to spend money for a game which last 4 to 5 hours.

Golfer B, this golfers owns only one or two golf sets he loved, he would not spend money to buy the latest or the best golf sets whichever he can afford. But he is willing to bring his beloved golf sets and played in Top golf course beside his own club. He is willing to travel oversea and spends lots of money for golf tour to exotic golfing destination. His golf sets are almost 20 years old.....

Which type of golfer are you ? golfer A and B are just fictional characters for discussion.

A little more *A* than *B* - I buy more clubs than I should(but havent updated most clubs in ages), play 90% of my rounds at my home course, but will play other courses when I can get people together. I will not travel world wide to golf because I try to stay away from flying whenever possible

I'm a full-on B. Been playing for four years, and only owned one set of clubs other than the crappy starter set I got for < $100.  Would much rather pay to play than chase the latest equipment.

(Btw, not sure if you can still make this thread a poll but it would be a great poll question...)

Thanks guys...i don't know how to click for a poll question..can Admin help me/ Thanks !

I'm a hybrid, while I don't have the latest and greatest clubs, but I tend to not be more that a generation behind.  I don't play one course, I like playing numerous courses over the year, but I'm not one to spend $100 on a round, I'd rather spend $50 on two rounds.

I'm definitely B.  I buy new clubs when I wear out my old ones, and I'll pay the cost of a new driver to play a course if I really want to play it.

I'm more A* golfer with a little bit of B*. I have a membership and play there majority of the time but I do like playing other courses when I can. But I look for deals online to play other courses. I really don't want to spend more than $60 for a round. But I play enough rounds where I have to play other courses for a challenge or I get bored.

I'm both. I like looking at new equipment but I don't actually buy anything because I'm very comfortable with what's in my bag now. I mostly like knowing what any new equipment has to offer.

I don't have a membership or a specific home course nor do I take exotic golf trips (at least not yet). I try to play close to home or within a 30 minute driving radius mostly because of my current situation. Doesn't matter if it's a good golf course or just a cheap muni.

Definitely B.  The set I have is the only set I've bought.  I started with a hand-me-down set from my dad.  Never changed it until about a year or so ago.  The putter was the last one that I changed from the hand-me-down set.

both...

Both, right now more A than B because I'm not quite good enough to fully appreciate the great courses that are out there.  Once I get the handicap lower I expect to be more B than A.

I am inbetween. I don't like to buy new clubs ever year, but every 3-5 years isn't to bad. Thats usually wedges, irons, and driver. The putter will stay with me for a long time, i like the one i have.

The whole thing was worded a bit weird for me.......For that reason, I say neither because I don't know what buying 'golf sets' means...LOL

All kidding aside, golfers aren't grouped like you suggest above.

Roughly speaking:

Grouping players who spend lots of clubs that only play 1 course/and or cheap courses... ....VS.......players who spends little on clubs but spend lots on playing nice courses does not really compute.  Golfers can't be categorized that way...IMO

The premise isn't valid....golfers who spend freely on equipment tend to spend freely on where they play....and vice versa.

If that's true I guess I'm the exception - I spend freely on where I play but spend hardly anything on equipment.

Granted, very few people are going to be completely on one end of the spectrum or the other, but still I've been interested in the replies.

I spend more on playing than on equipment.

I definitely spend more on playing too...but then again, I play a lot.  LOL
