So, your brother is away for a week, and has his new irons delivered to your door..

Using someone else's property without asking is discourteous at best, theft at worst.

Fine, so you're close with your family and you guys don't bother to ask. Whatever. If you'd disclosed that at the beginning the backlash would've been much less, though I think most people would still think it's a dick move.

I'm just glad that's not how things work in my family.

I would, but it wouldn't turn out to well. I play right, he plays left.

No, our father was supposed to act like a father when we were growing up and needed guidance. Now the three of us (I have a sister) are grown, own our own homes, and are looking towards starting our own families. My father will always be my father first and foremost, but nowadays were friends, equals.

Wow. Great answer. Most people who are critical probably don't have those type of relationships in their lives.

i think you did the right thing. glad you didnt listen to all of the naysayers

i concur. id have done the same thing.. me and my brother are tight and he wouldnt care a lick. as a matter of fact.. his mom bought him a brand new honda 125 dirt bike about 7 years ago (he was 14 at the time) and he was in school when she brought it home, it was going to be his birthday present... well.. i came home from college one day and went to my parents to eat some free food.. went downstairs and saw the brand new bike with a bow on it ... long story short.. i took it through the neighborhood wide open and wrecked it at about 40 mph and FUBAR'd the whole thing. bent the handle bars, scratched the piss out of the paint.. messed up the kick start.. etc. called my buddy.. he came and got me with his truck, we hauled it back home and put it back in the basement and put the bow back on it and wrote a note that said.. "happy birthday bro.. broke it in for ya...." he didnt get mad at all. he just made me buy a new handle bar and we spray painted the plastic. his momma... on the other hand.. was furious... some people just have a tighter bond with their family members i guess... so things like that dont bother us...

No, don't do it!
Didn't read all the posts but isn't playing his new irons before he has like "taking liberties" with someone's new wife right after they leave the church? Worse than that maybe?

If you use those clubs you'll find that whenever you play with your brother, you'll notice either A- more balls flying at your head than usual
or B- Him nonchalantly beating you by 10-20 strokes.
