How to convince the wife I need new irons???

[Whiskey84]

I am. If you have the money to buy them, buy them. If your wife doesn't want you to have something you really want then she is selfish.

That may work in theory, but in practice it can mess up a relationship.

How about, "honey, pick out something you want to buy and buy it....because I am going to buy something I want."

This could be dangerous.

Jewelry can sometimes balance the scales

I brought my wife an Iron when I got myself some new Mizzies so she wouldnt moan. Good one as well it was, had steam comming out of it and everything !

Tell her that if she doesn't buy them, you have ways of making her listen.

[bigoak]

man up buy the clubs because you need them. buy wife jewelry to show her that you are not a self centered lil boy and you want to give her jewelry because she needs jewelry too.

Ask her what she needs and then tell her what you NEED...and you must let her know that YOU NEED new irons, to compete with your buddies...lol

I'm trying to get my wife to buy me some new sticks. ( Callaway, Taylormade,Ping) Our 10 yr annerviersty and my birthday is within a month and well how should I go about getting her to buy me some??

My wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday, and I told her new irons....it worked! Of course we went together to pick them out b/c she wasn't sure what to buy.

10 years, grats. My wife has already planned out our 10 year (Hawaii trip) so doubtful I will get clubs as well. But, I will certainly get to play some golf out there

I would avoid asking for clubs for 10 year anny to be honest. Maybe Bday and Xmas combined. Mention that for your 10 year you want something that symbolizes your love and all that. Mix in your desire for clubs this year and you never know. Jedi mind tricks work sometimes. She'll catch on I bet.

How bout you up that insurance policy and then kill the bitch.... take the insurance money and not only buy new clubs, but go on a week long golf resort vacation........did i just say that out loud????

Just tell her you are going to buy new clubs. If she happens to asks why, just tell her they are like women's shoes. The new ones are on sale and your old ones are out of fashion !

[lumpuckeroo]

You could retile the hearth on the fireplace, put tile in the laundry room and bathroom and lay hardwood floors in the rest of the house!!!!

[O.B. Right]

There is probably some way to work it out as posted in the other responses (ie. .give her something too, explain why you need them, etc, etc). BUT if not (and you have the money and haven't been making a lot of extra purchases lately) I would go ahead and get them. She'll get mad but she's not going to divorce you over some golf clubs - unless it's like a straw-breaking-the-camels-back kind of thing . .so, if that could be the case, then wait for next season.

My wife gets mad at me a lot . .it's how I keep her in shape. Just gotta make sure you're in-line (I imagine her complaining about the incident to her best friend . .if it sounds really bad then I know I'm out of line).

for example of something that would sound bad:
Wife to best friend (crying) "He went out and bought new golf clubs last week but I'm wearing the same bathrobe I had when we got married and we're getting eviction notices"

Step one: Go buy clubs.

Step 2: Tell wife to get in the goddamn kitchen and make you a sandwich!

step 3: grab a beer and watch football.

Should work.

Rookie....

You shouldn't ever grab your own beer! You should try that and let us know how it goes. Remember though, video or it didn't happen.

[BostonSully]

Rookie....

Ahh dang your right rookie mistake. Could even eliminate the grab a beer part because she should be handing you an ice cold brew as soon as you get home anyways. Crap! Gotta work on my womanizing skills.

Man, my marriage must be very different than most of yours... If I need (or, let's face it, want) new irons, I budget a little bit ahead of time and then go get them. Do you guys go through your finances together with a fine toothed comb?

Just tell her you are going to buy new clubs. If she happens to asks why, just tell her they are like women's shoes. The new ones are on sale and your old ones are out of fashion !

Best answer so far!
