I spent a whole bunch of money figuring out that the 4 wood I started the season with (Adams Ovation) was the one I should have kept. Just sold my BOM head and picked up another Ovation. Seems like all told I probably spent $100 or so on that $35 club.  i gave up on FW a LONG time ago. hybrids, and well struck irons are where it's at  I agree, but I can't really hit a hybrid lofted stronger than 21° very well, which is why I carry the 4 wood. It mostly ends up being my tee shot club for tight fairways, but sometimes it comes in handy for 2nd shots on long par 5s. |

I bought the old putter to use it as an off-hand rigid parrying object while fencing. I took it to practice last Sunday and people crapped themselves laughing. But hey. Golf is period (i.e. exists pre 1600), and a putter is no different than a hard scabbard, or a walking stick. So it works fine for the purpose, which is fencing in the SCAAnd I got myself an ancient putter from 2nd Swing for 3.49... <-- and this is why I bought it! Not digging the Rossa Monza? not at all. she likes the rossa. ... but I'll let her explain... |

Don't know. I purposely didn't keep track. I'm better off not knowing. I did some of it with trade in credit. Still spent too, too much.
But I'm done even if it kills me.

Being married and things I didn't spend much on golf equipment.... just under AUD$1000. Bought a HiBore, FT3 tour, sold the FT3 tour, get a Unshankable wedge, a couple of Accra shafts + some reshafts, some hybrids to replace the 3,4,5,6 iron and thats it.
Last year I spend almost $9000 (thats the nett amount after I sold what I don't need).
