What are your "insurance replacement" clubs?


RoverRick

Recommended Posts

I was just reading Barbajo's thread about the stolen golf clubs.  Now, that we have cursed the villain's mortal so and banished them to and eternity of watching Tommy Copper and other golf infomercials.  We have discussed the wisdom of lack there of of leaving your clubs in the car on the other thread.

 

NOW, the fun stuff.  Let's say it happened to you and your the insurance company valued your clubs and other stuff at $2600.  You now have $1600 to get a bag together. 

 

What do you get?

 

Give it some thought and post below.  I will post after some research.

 

 

Note: Added at 8 pm.  Participation in this thread does not constitute a plan to have your club stolen.  You still have to prove you lost $2600 worth of stuff to get $1600.

I got a pm asking. LMAO.

Since we are not a real insurance company we will do what ever you want.  You can buy new, used, a full set parts and pieces.  You can sell your 12 year old and add more money or what ever you would like.

I prefer a check for $1500 and letting me buy my own..  I can replace my current bag piece per piece for under 1200. That leaves me with a weekend at Bandon Dunes....

Mizuno JPX 825 - $700

Bobby Jones Driver - $350 - Read my member review here after Wednesday... 

http://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/11235-forum-member-reviews-custom-bobby-jones-driver-fw-hybrid/

Callaway Mac Daddy 2 wedges (satin) 52, 56 - $250

Ping Nome - $150

Callaway X2 Hot 3 Hybrid - $175

 

I would probably buy used and get all those prices down to under $100 for everything, but at retail prices, I'm a little over.   I am still missing a 3 wood, but this would be a pretty comfortable start.  Now that I'm writing this I realize I still need a bag, balls, and shoes, but we will just ignore all that...

After thinking about this some more, I would go with the Nike Coverts.  I am basing my love for Nike off of the Covert driver I added this weekend. But a bit of a change.

The insurance company I have, would hate if my clubs were stolen, I have a separate policy on my clubs for $5,000 since they are part of my livelihood. My agent made me itemize everything at retail for him and it was eye opening to say the least.

Brings up a good point.  I always noticed that people (myself included) don't give it a second thought to leave their $1,500-$2,000 worth of clubs sitting in front of the clubhouse while they're inside having a drink, etc.  I wouldn't leave my clubs on my front porch for more than 5 minutes.  But at the course, they stay for hours unattended.  If someone walked up and casually picked up my clubs and drove away, no one would notice a thing.

This is sort of a fun exercise but it would not be fun in real life.  I seriously doubt that most of us could actually build a really nice set from scratch for that money.

 

In Barbajo's case, who inspired this thread, that Hippo wedge is irreplaceable.  :lol:

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean......my Wilson R90 SW is just like that.  I won it in a tournament in the early 1980's.....I tried to find one  similar on ebay to get a price.

 

 

I am glad that the "thieves" decided to forego transporting the stolen property.

I'd probably use it as a chance to get a fully fit bag, maybe going to a fitter who is willing to fit me for last year's models depending on how much above the $1600 I'd be willing to go.

 

Driver: Ping I25 or TM SLDR

FW and Hybrid: Ping G25

Irons: TM Speedblades or Ping G25

Wedges: Maybe Hopkins or some other variety of grinds. This would take a lot of thinking about

Putter: Nome TR? This would be the hardest choice.

I'd more or less just replace what I currently have.  I'm happy with my bag.  But.....I'd splurge on the new 915D3 coming out $400

 

Then:

Used set of MP 54 iron heads $450

KBS Tour Shafts $125

913F 4 wood $150

913H 4 Hybrid $150

913H 5 Hybrid $150

SM5 Wedges $400

Already have an identical back-up putter: $0

Got new info on the heist of the century - the kids didn't event get out of the neighborhood with the clubs - just dumped then into the hedges two doors down!!!  

 

Anyway - with $1600 I'd do the following:

 

Cleveland 588 CB irons (have my eye on a set at Golfsmith for $599)

Cobra Baffler hybrids (love 'em, and since they're kinda old, they're a good buy) $100 for two

Callaway Xhot2 3 wood $179, Driver $229

Cleveland wedges, $200

Replacement for the irreplaceable Hippo wedge, $18

 

That leaves a little less than $300 for a new bag and rangefinder....

 

Or... may just play the backups until we see with SCOR does with the Hogan brand next year...

Driver, hybrids and putter would be the same as I have now as they can all be sourced on Ebay.

 

Irons are easy...order from Hireko and build them myself.

 

Wedges, I'd have the opportunity to upgrade to the SCOR4161 set that I'd love to get.

Did my insurance company issue me a check? Or am I sending them receipts so that I may be reimbursed???

 

Having been through this scenario they give you the option of either a check that is the replacement value of what was stolen minus a deductible or replacing it. In my case we took the check for my clubs and had them replace my son's. The check was made out to my Pro's club and he was able to offset the deductible by getting clubs for me at his cost. (It helps to be the Rev sometimes). I recall that the check was 1440 and I did quite nicely.

 

If I were doing this it would give me the excuse that I needed to quit playing golf. I'm sick of how poorly I'm hitting the ball anyway. Other than the social aspect it's really become no fun. Good thing 40 percent of the game is around the greens. You can't imagine how poorly you can hit the ball and still break 80 most of the time if you drive it in play and then chip and putt. I shot 80 yesterday with two penalty strokes, two shanks and 3 hit greens. :(
