Absolutely. What's nauseating is that I just picked up a used Machspeed 3H off of ebay yesterday...for $38 shipped. I guess I'll be seeing if I can get someone locally to buy it off of me.

I'm wierd - I'm a club junkie, always having to supress the urge to buy new clubs (especially irons), but I still play my 20 yr old Big Bertha Warbird 3-wood and my Anser 4 putter. They just feel so comfortable to me. For everything else though, I am a club *****. I need a new driver....

I wish there was a golf shop around here. Maybe I wouldn't find all of these deals online if I had a place to go put my hands on equipment!

I haven't purchased a new club in about 10 years.  I even use the same golf-towel I got probably 8 years ago!    I buy a lot of golf gloves though....

I bought new gear this year after hitting my friend's Titlelist clubs.  My old set was purchased back in 1986 so I was due for an upgrade!

Even bought a new Nike cart bag and am very happy with it.

Everything I buy is an impulse purchase. I just sold an old set of clubs to a fishing buddy of mine so I am about to impulsively buy ANOTHER set of Adidas gold shoes. I found a set of Tour 360's with orange accents and it will match one of my golf shirts.

My wife says she worries about me because I color coordinate to go play golf....

So how many times have you all filled out *nearly* all the information for an online purchase only to have the Spirit Of The Spouse in the back of your mind nag you into abandoning your impulse buy? That has saved me gazillions of dollars.

LOL Spirit of the Spouse. When I hear that voice in my head I just change the shipping address to work.

Same lol. I get more gear shipped to my office than the house.

A) we've got a shipping dept and it comes right to my desk and not potentially stolen off front porch.

B) I can head right to course and not have to run home and check for my new toy lol.

Currently waiting on delivery of that Nike hybrid, FootJoy shoes and Bionic gloves!

I work hard to resist the impulse buys - though I've got a couple of drivers that might speak otherwise. I've been looking at new bags since I have a Callaway bag and replaced my Callaway irons....

Same here....not that I've been golfing very long but I'm still golfing with the same irons that I bought 3 years ago when I started.  I did change driver and hybrids last year when I realized I needed something easier to hit.  This year I've vowed to buy no new clubs until I'm consistently scoring in the 80's and I've held to it although I am closing in on breaking 90.  And then it has to be "consistently" below 90.  For me, its the proverbial "archer and not the arrows" so I'm trying to direct my money to range balls and lessons.....not clubs.

Driver:  Callaway Diablo Octane iMix 11.5*
Fairway: Cobra Baffler Rail F 3W & 7W
Irons:  Wilson Ci
Wedges:  Acer XB (52* & 56*)
Putter:  Cleveland Classic #10 with Winn Jumbo Pistol Grip

Bah, sometimes it is the club not the player... are those 3 year old irons blades or a nice cavity back? Are the at least sorta fitted for your swing? I had my 7 year old irons checked and the were 2* upright and I now play 2* flat.... could be why I once topped my way to 100+ scores every round?

We're going to be a bad influence here...

I've followed Woot for years. Luckily, I hadn't noticed the sports section before. Great. Another thing to drain me!

My daily checklist for deals...

Idealgolfer.com

woot.com

groupon.com

divot.com

Pretty much when I get to my desk I open all four along with my work pages and begin to skim them between calls. I'm usually clear of each by 9.
