... and the most interesting thing to me was the driver pricing. Right now, we're in a $299 for most drivers, $399 for the expensive stuff kinda mode (not counting Taylor Made's TP series).

But five years ago, check these prices:

Callaway ERC II Forged Titanium Driver - $499.99
Callaway Hawk Eye VFT Titanium Driver - $399.99
Callaway Big Bertha Steelhead Plus Driver - $249.99
Taylor Made 320/360 Ti Driver - $399.99
Taylor Made 320/360 Ti Driver (with exotic ProForce or Graffaloy ProLite) - $439.99
Orlimar hipTi Titanium Driver - $399.99

Other drivers (Titleist, Ping, etc) did not list the price, but I imagine they were probably along the $499.99 line.

Now I don't feel so bad dropping $299 for my r7 460

I can't believe the prices for those clubs... it's really weird for me because I started playing golf spring of 2004 (my 1st year of college) and I probably paid less for my current sticks and the quality and technology is obviously much better

Wow, that is crazy. It's good though, but just interesting to see. I'm sure you can pick up any of those drivers now for around $50 somewhere.

I work in the IT field and remember that computers used to be the same way, you had to pay $3k for an old 486 mhz piece of crap with 16mb of RAM. I just got a new Dell for $800 that is light years beyond that!

Dropping 400 bones for my new HiBore makes me feel a bit better now. Besides in 2001, i was borderline in college, and i do mean borderline and spent to much many on beer, cable tv and pizza

      2026 U.S. Open

      By saevel25 · Posted

      The criticisms are starting already 🤣 U.S. Open pro criticizes Shinnecock green conditions: 'Bumpy' After playing his first practice round at the 2026 U.S. Open, Michael Kim offered a less-than-glowing review of Shinnecock's "bumpy" greens.   The sand, I don't care about that. If the greens didn't come back as well for latest aerification, that would be a bit of a blunder on Shinnecock I think.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.
