Golf Gear Addict-Time to STOP!!!!!!

Hi Boabski.

Congrats on liberating yourself and admitting this addiction. You are not alone and I suspect never will be.
Over my 11 years I have owned.

12 sets of irons, from fazer, mizuno, ping, maxfli, callaway, wilson and 6 sets of Titleists.

5 faiway woods. Ping, Titleists.

4 Rescues. Benross, Titleists, Cobra and Yonex (best of the lot.)

8-10 Putters. Odyssesy, Ping, Scotty's, TM's, a few cheapies aswel.

Drivers - oh dear God! - how many drivers???? I've used cheapy no names to Ping's, Mizuno, Callaways, TM's, Titleists, Benross, never used a Nike though. Can't honestly remember.

Loads of different flex's on all clubs from Xstiff to regular. A few years ago i weighed 26 stone (now 13) and changed god knows how many sets as my body and strength altered over time. Have lost a lot of distance from all clubs as a result, but at least I can see my feet now, and the more important things i ;)n life.

Even yesterday i used the Trackman monitor and confirmed what I knew that my current driver is the most accurate and reliable i've had, yet today I'm still thinking about straying to other models just in case.... :eek:

interestingly I have never changed my wedges... have had the Cleveland 588 lob wedge for 9 years and the vokeys for 4-5. (shouldn't have mentioned that as it will get me thinking about different loft and bounce combo's again. D'oh :D)

Ultimately, about a year ago I accepted that it was the fiddler not the fiddle that needed fixing, looked at my game, noted i would never be a long hitter and went for accuracy instead. Have since won a couple of medals, one club cup competition and realistically could drop 3-4 shots off my handicap as and when the medal comps come round.

Buying gear gives an instant buzz, no question, but if you want to play golf and improve I recognise that finding something that works and sticking with it, is the only way forward. :)

now to go and look at some GPS gear, this has got to be the most essential bit of gear in existence, up there with H2O and oxygen. if only i can find my credit cards..... :eek:
