OK so you have a bug up your a$$ about clone golf clubs. First of all, what a prick that makes you. I am betting you wrote that right after someone WITH clone clubs handed you your ass on the course lol.
Anyway, then you said we should all go to e-bay and buy used name brand clubs. OK genius, I need a set of irons that are +1/2" with a +2 lie and midsized grips...and I want light graphite shafts with spine matching. Find those on e-bay. I will wait...
Look, I started playing this addictive, obsessive and maddening game last year. I started with a cheap set of clubs from Sports Authority and after I decided I would stick with it I had a nice set of irons custom made for me from an online clone golf company. I got a 30 day return policy and free shipping. They feel great and I am hitting par on almost every hole on the little par 3 9 hole course I play with my friends once a week.
I am no where good enough as a player to need $1000 worth of ping clubs. I am happy with what I have for what I need. You need to get over yourself.
Oh and for pull carts? Seriously - who cares. I don't use one but never imagined having a problem with anyone that does. As for iron covers...I don't use them, but again who cares if someone does. Why use a driver cover? Do you have a problem with people that use yellow balls? Do you hate people that use GPS to measure range?
Get a life - you are the people that I HATE on the course, fortunately you are in the minority.
