I will share this. My father was the king of impulse purchases. His mancave area was riddled with impulse buys as well as overage purchases. He was just this way with hobbies. He past away last year and I went through some of his stuff. He had a ton of ball markers from everywhere he went, usually about three of each. He had probably 60+ brush tees and 7-8 pairs of brand new golf shoes. A couple that was friends with my parents and the guy golfed with my dad sat down and counted his golf balls. He had 38 dozen brand new golf balls in boxes not to mention his collection of logo golf balls. Crazy collector. It was like going to a golf store by Spencer Gifts.

The white paint is ugly, but this driver is anything BUT gimmicky.  It's a great driver...............

I am a big University of Kentucky fan so my impulse purchase started with a UK bag.  It spiraled from there:

UK MyJoys

Two different UK towels

UK Divot Tools

UK Titleist Cap with ball marker

3 other UK ball markers

UK Driver cover

UK Putter Cover

UK Hybrid Cover

General Blue headcovers that match UK colors

Within the last 18 months I've purchased:

GPS

3 other pairs of footjoy shoes (Superlites, Icons, BOAs)

and a set of on sale Adams a3os clubs for my dad who I thought "needed" clubs.

I have the same issue when going into golf galaxy, it's like the Cheers for golfers.  I also have a shoe issue as I am always trying to find shoes to match my various polos or shorts.  If I can't play well, I might as well look decent.

Sorry for the rambling.

Oh, I bought the r11s but I had been saving for that so I dont count it as impulse.

Hahaha....

I hate the white paint!!  I own 2 R11 rescue clubs so I can say this with immunity........LOL

I bough the R9 Super-TRI partially because I don' like the white paint on the R11.............(plus the launch monitor stats were the same)
