What would you do?

[rjfan91]

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.

you sleep with your wife, not your putter.

winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!

VERY good point.....

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! =)

[enis750]

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!!!

[pxc]

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

[tjy355]

.....what to do??????????

How are Scotty Camerons to sleep with anyway?

[sinclac]

New Irons for the wife.

[Knockglock]

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.
