I would get the wife fitted for irons. At least she plays!

As for stigma, I don't pay attention to that. I'm an average putter and have no problem with it. I get teased occasionally that I have a $250 putter with a $25 putting stroke.

Hahaha! Awesome answer. Spot on.

Get her the irons. You could probably also get another $100 or so trade-in for those old TA2's according to the PGA value guide.

You want a Scotty, your wife needs new irons. Wants vs. needs...get her new clubs. As for your Vokeys, why not try a groove doctor and see if that freshens them up?

man there is some funny a$$ answers in here!! ghahahah!!!
but i guess the general consensus is.....Wife's irons....er..."iron" :)

that was kinda what i was leaning too......but only time will tell

my wife is huge into scrapbooking and now wants to have a camera that will cost me approx. $1200 w all the "tools" that go w it
that I have no problem dropping the coin on, as it will be her "hobby" and keep her busy

which leads me to think that maybe, just maybe.......i should get some new wedgies???

im selfish arent I???!! hahahah

The answer is found by using some thorough microeconomics analysis. Which is more expensive: (a) irons for the wife, or (b) a Scotty and years of alimony payments?

she's all for it! that the funny thing

if i actually was paying $400 out of pocket for it....it would NEVER happen being it's practically free.....she says go for it i myself would NEVR buy a putter for this much coin and don't worry....i would never spend that on a driver either.....so we dont need to start that up like said earlier....why fix what's not broken im really playing well right now, so im mot sure if i need to make ANY equipment changes..to be honest I could see myself down to a 2-3hcp by season's end (knock on wood) choices, choices...... i may not have this opportunity to buy one again though...hahah!! arrggh....

You are 28. I think you will have plenty of opportunities to buy one.

It is refreshing to see people on an internet forum that value their wives. That said, if you're buying her a $1200 camera, spend the free $400 on your golf equipment, be it a putter, wedges, 8 dozen Pro V1s, whatever. And remember to put the camera on your card, more points for another GC later!

Buy some clubs for your daughter. Earl Woods is probably happy he bought some for his son...

win.

I wish my dad took me along with him golfing at a young age, I always had to beg him and we just never really went, until now. I'm still young I'm only 22 and I've been golfing for about a month or so, and I LOVE it. But I still have to wonder where I'd be in golf now if i started a long time ago! =)

well I spent 45 mins. today at Golf town
i hit about 40 putts with all different shapes and sizes of the Scotty
if i do buy it, it will be the Newport Series 2 - mid slant

dude i couldnt miss w that rig
they also had my Robin there and i was putting w it as well - just as good
But the Scotty feels like butter compared to the YES!

the ball just "clicks" so nice off of it

the wifey is tellin me to buy it, because if i don't........i NEVR will be able too!! ooohhhh!!!

i dunno dudes........it's lookin like the Scotty may see a spot in the bag....
i think the $1200 Camera is trumping the new clubs for the wifey

think she will still love me? hahha!!!

I guess you can at least sell the YES! and go back for more.

You know, it doesn't have to be completely mutual exclusive. You could buy yourself a nice scotty, and then take whatever you have leftover, or even dip into your pockets and take your wife out to a nice dinner or get her something small but thoughtful.

Yeah, this is a good idea.

I change my vote to you might as well getting the Scotty. It doesn't sound like you'll be happy until you get it.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
