I'm a Tiger fan and my wife knows it. My wife is NOT a golf fan and does not understand the draws of equipment to alot of us. I started playing 2 yrs ago with a set of game improve Nike clubs in part b/c they were free for me and a little b/c of Tiger's endorsement of Nike.

Well, late last night I tried to fake indignation at Tiger's transgressions while going on about how I needed to get new clubs and purge myself of my Nike clubs and the imagery of Tiger's influence .... man, was my wife not having any of that!

I know. This was a pathetic attempt. I'll have to do better.

How closely are your finances linked? Would she notice if you picked up a couple things off Ebay? It doesn't really matter - be a man for chrissakes - tell your wife you're going to trade your clubs in before the price of used Nike's falls through the floor.

We have a joint account. Honestly, money isn't the issue (I went thru 8 yrs of school and 4 yrs in indentured servitude aka residency to get to this stage ...). We have a house rule where certain expenses must be agreed upon.

And yes I have snuck a few new weapons into my bag (i.e. my SW and LW). And she also may have the impression my Scotty was half the price it cost . The reality of the situation is that I need to find more time for lessons, practice and play to warrant getting a new set...

Always remember -

Best first post for a new member EVER

My wife and I also have a joint account. However, we allow ourselves a little extra money in the pocket to do with as we please. It's a don't ask/don't tell kinda thing and it works nice. Granted, this is not a lot of money, but if I save it up and not blow it on stupid stuff, I can buy new equipment pretty regularly.

    • Shot of the Week for me was definitely this drive that set up my second birdie of the back 9 yesterday. It’s a longer par 4 but usually the prevailing wind is with you (the slightly longer hole to the right is a par 5 that usually plays into the wind). I don’t usually hit driver on this hole and honestly couldn’t think of the last time I did when I was standing on the tee. Yesterday, the wind was in the opposite direction so I had to hit into a headwind. I decided I’d need the extra length with driver on the tee and absolutely piped it. It was perfectly launched with low spin that just penetrated through the wind. Technically the approach shot was worth more in SG (I hit it inside 4’), but this drive set up the entire hole.

    • Rory and Bryson are two of my favorites for some time.  This was a great watch.  Poor Rory looked gutted and (heat?) exhausted at the end there.  Bryson play US Open golf - Captain Scramble.  Avoid the blowups and accidentally find a birdie on occasion and it goes far,  
    • 2nd shot into a short par 5. I had ~185 left but was just off the fairway to the right with some low tree limbs in front of me. Aimed at the water and hit a punch slice 4 iron that started low under the trees, rose higher as it kept going, cut towards the middle of the green, carried the water and rolled to ~25 feet for an eagle putt. Lipped out the eagle putt but never going to complain about tap in birdies.  It was one of those shots that I've done before and was a perfect yardage gap. I have a punch 4 iron swing that I know goes right at 185, and I can cut the ball much easier than I can draw it, so it was actually a much easier shot for me than it appears to be in the picture. I would have been fine if it would have over cut too, rough isn't very penal here so it would have been an easy chip from short right.  Although to be fair I didn't realize/remember that the water cut in as far into the fairway as it did, I thought it stopped right around the left edge of the green. 
    • I absolutely LOVE my new Titliest U505 3 iron.  It was slightly chunky looking at first, but I don't even notice it anymore after just a couple rounds with it. It's super easy to launch it high and I have no issues flighting it down either.  Perfectly fine to hit off the tee for tighter tee shots and for 2nd shots into par 5s. Even the mishits go much further than I think they should, it's quite forgiving.
