All equipment bought were either new but at least last year's models or slightly demo'd meaning I would inspect them first and make sure they 'looked' new. Thus the lower than advertised prices from their original MSRP.

The best deals were likely the Mizuno wedges I picked up for $50 each as they retail for $150 each normally. They happened to be in the demo rack but looked as if they were just put there after one person hit them in the indoor range!? A steal...

Mind you, I've spent much more than this as this is not my 'first' set of clubs! Only my current ones.

So that makes an even $750. I got all of these off of eBay with the exception of the SM54 that i got new with trade ins and all of the clubs i got off of ebay were in like new condition, so id say that i probably saved over a grand on all this stuff.

It was free- only thing I bought was my Nike 4/24 deg hybrid which was on sale for 90$. Everything else was a gift.

I don't have the big bucks to spend on golf equipment right now, but I actually don't think I need to. I test a lot of clubs to get a good feel for everything that is out on the market, and what I've found is that there is a lot of "old" technology that can still serve a great purpose today. My irons are older than a lot of junior golfers around today, but they are the best MB blades I have ever hit, and I've hit nearly every Mizuno, Titleist, and Cleveland model available. The only thing I spent some money on which I now greatly regret is my wedges. I like my vokeys, but looking back, I'm not sure I would have bought them again. The driver is the only club I'm willing to dish out a little bit on, because I always buy drivers new.

    • Rule 1.2b refers you to a section in the Committee Procedures (Section 5I) that helps explain what a Code of Conduct may (and may not) do.  Defining acceptable behavior (including smoking) and applying Stroke of DQ penalties are certainly within the Committee's authority. That Code of Conduct certainly should be available, either in written form or in a webpage accessible to all.  It may not show up on the "standard local rules" for an organization, the "hard card", as it sounds like its a policy of this particular golf course. Assuming that's the case it should show up on the Notice to Players for this particular event.  If you can't find it, ask someone, send an email, try to find out.   In summary, yes the Committee can DQ (or withdraw) a Player for smoking, even before or between rounds.  But its up to you to go from there, communication is the key here.

    • Hmm... I not sure I completely understand. If the course has a no smoking policy, then he shouldn't smoke at the course.  I'm assuming since you are aware of the policy, it must be written down somewhere.  As far as getting disqualified from the tournament, I would think that would be up to the committee. But it feels like it is within their power to disqualify, so why take the chance?
