Oops I did it again....

I feel like the guy in the thread "I can't stop buy iron sets", except with me, it's drivers. Since picking the game back up last year when my new pruchase arrives this will be my 6th driver. Late last year when Ping released the G20 I bought one and it's been in the bag since then, but I'm always looking for that extra edge. I guess the difference between me and the iron guy is, I normally buy, use to see if I like it, then either sell it or the one I've been using, but I do try to keep 2 drivers most of the time.

Last spring when I started back playing I bought a TM Burner 09, then a Nike VR Pro, then the G20. This year so far I tried a TM Rocketballz driver and just for fun a no-name non-conforming driver from ebay (The Shadow) and most most current purchase is a Callaway Razr Fit that should be here tomorrow.

Golf is really no different than any other hobby I've had over the years, I guess that's why when I was really into target shooting and re-loading ammo, I ended up with 3 safes full of guns and a complete re-loading station to handle 10 different calibers. My wife says I obsess over my hobbies, maybe, but it sure is fun.

Arrived today, if it don't rain tomorrow, lunch will be spent at the range.

I'll be the guy in about a year buying them for $100. Believe it!

That Razr Fit looks great.  I need to go hit some of these new drivers.

Made it to the range at lunch today and all I can say is WOW. After a bit of warm up I hit my G20 to get a baseline on distance. Hit a couple with the Razr, not bad. Made an adjustment to the closed position (similar to the G20), a little better, then swapped the weights to the draw position and WOW. Bombs way past my target point. Thinking I might just be warmed up more, I hit a couple more with the G20 and couldn't come close the where the Razr was. Hit several more with the Callaway and was consistantly hitting it 10-20 yards past where the G20 was. The real test will Saturday morning when it gets put into play.

At least you arent sitting at the bar every night drinking away your paycheck.  My girlfriend and I have 1 rule when it comes to spending money on wants: as long as theres enough money to pay the bills and put a little into savings, you can spend as much as you want.

My wife and I have 3 checking accounts, a household account, hers and mine. Several years ago we sat down and added up all our monthly expenses, and now we both make deposits into our household account to cover our bills. What we have remaining from our paychecks goes into our own accounts to spend on what we want. If she want's to spend $400 on a purse or if I buy a new driver, nothing is said, because it ours to do what we want and all the bills are paid.

Nah, that takes away from the art of the deal !     I've not even been playing 2 years & I already have amassed a couple staff bags full of late model clubs that don't make it into the A team rotation.      Ebay is such an enabler - bottom line for me is I'd rather get a $400, 2 year old club for $75, than actually pay $400 for any club - that would completely take the fun out of it.

Good deal.  Once you start nitpicking each other's discretionary spending, you start to go down a bad, bad road.  I think that even after my girlfriend and I are married we will split the household expenses and whatever is left after that will be our's to spend however we each see fit.
