I think I'm addicted to buying golf clubs. For no apparent reason, other than I liked the way it felt, I bought a Callaway FT-9 Draw today at Dick's. I was not unhappy with my FT-i, I hit it well, but I couldn't walk by the FT-9 without trying it out and then buying it.

I also had them order me a Callaway FT 4 Wood, since they had none in stock. That's the original reason I went in there, but somehow ended up walking out with the FT-9 driver and ordering the 4 Wood.

Do they have a support group like Golf Clubs Anonymous that I could join?

I'm in this group, but I keep telling myself, "I love my driver, my irons are great, I make puts with my putter, there's nothing wrong with my golf bag, my golf shoes are a month old and very comfortable, I don't need anymore gadgets, there's no need to buy TM Pentas or ProV1's."
Sometimes this drill works, but most of the time it doesn't....

I've been to the "golf shop" about four times in the last week. Luckily I'm able to convince myself that I don't need whatever it is I'm looking at. So far I have only walked out with a new divot tool.

I can see part of the problem as I "win" stuff on Ebay all the time (Ebay marketing is pure genius). I need to "win" the lottery.

same thing here.

I find myself constantly hoping it (VR Driver) went down 99% so I could actually afford it, right? :) same with the split cavity irons, forged wedges, and method putter. ;)

I suck at golf but I'm good at spending money on golf. It's the only part of this game I excel at! Fortunately my other vice of tightwaddedness battles my extreme desire to buy pretty new clubs that won't make me a better golfer so I've managed to not spend TOO much yet.

If I ever start getting good at this though I might be screwed.

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.
    • Wordle 1,070 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
