We were up in Utah a couple days ago in some little town. My wife loves to go in 2nd hand stores. While in one I saw a TM stand bag that was in decent shape, and ws something I could put some loose clubs in. 

I told the clerk that all I wanted was the bag, and that all the clubs he could keep. He wanted $30 for everything. He wouldn't take the $15 I wanted to pay for the bag only. I never looked in the bag, and clubs were covered. So I offered him $20, and we had a deal. 

The next day I opened the bag. Had a full set of Power Bar irons, golf shoes, Ovation driver, a set 3, 5, 7 Nickent fairway woods. There was also an Odessy 2 ball putter. Not too bad I thought for $20. What was really nice was 15,  Pro-V 1 balls still in the sleeves. Even had a 2003 USGA rule book. 

While at the short game area this morning a golf coach showed up with some kids. I gave most of the clubs to him to use as he saw fit. Said he would cut some down for the youngsters.

Fantastic deal at the store, @Patch and that was very nice of you to pass them to the kiddos. :beer:
