... You guys are such amateurs. Your goal should be to find something your wife will spend money on and then your golf purchases become a moot point. My coup was Essential Oils and my ex spent a good $200 or more every month. Things became very simple then ... I didn't ask about how much she spent on oils and she didn't ask how much I spent on golf equipment. Going to an Essential Oil convention in Salt Lake? I respond "That's awesome, I hope you have a great time!" and then start looking at flights and hotels for a golf trip.  

Naw, she saw thru that ploy immediately.

The 2022 Club Cameron package 

 

How did you get yours that fast?? 

[RollingGreens]

I initially wasn’t going to buy anything. But I got a great deal on a 2020 Scotty Cameron Newport on Golfwrx that I can use as a collector item or a gamer. Then the next day even though I didn’t need anything I was pretty intrigued by @dlow206 Scotty Squareback so I picked that up too. I tried to hold off and ended up with 2 Scotty’s in one week

... Since they are usually smarter than we are of course they see thru the ploy, but done right and as long as they get what they want, they are on board with the mutual ignorance.

Eugh...how am I going to explain this one to my wife...

Anyone have access to some Cameron letterhead who can craft a "congrats on winning this SC '22 prize!"??

In years past, I may or may not have used the "look at what I won on Twitter" line

A good friend on here who shall remain nameless, but sound like  MDGolfHacker calls it a WDKF   Wife Doesn't Know Fund!

They obviously knew of whom they were dealing with

I'm impressed you actually got it. I tried to join that last year and they never sent me my package, so I cancelled.  Nice looking set there.

That's spoken like an ALL PRO right there!

When you sell golf clubs, the money goes into the club account.  That is the account that you use to buy new equipment. 

When you phrase it that way, we do something like this and what @chisaghad suggested.  Essentially it's a mutual understanding that we each get our own splurges.  It honestly prevents any fights bu occasionally, she'll see something and go "ooooooo, what did we buy today that didn't need replacing?"

A pair of Go Golf Drive 4 spikeless shoes in charcoal.  I have no idea what they look like first hand and won't until I get back to Montana... shipped them to the wrong place .  My rancher/neighbor said he'd intercept them and break them in for me.  He does not golf .

[dlow206]

Just arrived, still need to get it setup.

I will be rocking a new hat and shirt on the golf course soon!

Maybe a bit pompous of me, but at every promotion (since I started golfing) I’ve bought some personalized balls with the new rank on them.  These just came in, along with a divot tool while I was at it

Congrats, Sir!!
And I also noticed that appears to be a multi-function tool

Other than the "double secret" stashed golf funds to buy what I want. The best one I used "more than once" Hey honey I got chosen to test a _____________ by MGS. So excited, boy am I lucky, should be delivered next week sometime. You know what that means. I got to spend more time at the club doing some testing.

Thats a double win!

LOL I guess I am lucky mine does not say a word. But then again I do not order new high dollar stuff. I trade a lot of stuff etc and she knew from the get go that I was always a wheeler dealer. But then again if I went the new high bucks route she would not say anything as long as we ate and the bills are paid. Then again I do not say anything either because she is into Steven King and other books and has an extensive Barbie Doll Collection. She basically does her hobby like I do mine by wheeling dealing and trading.  I know in the back of her mind that it could be worse. When we married I owned 3 big trucks which were expensive to upkeep but made money and paid the bills. I also had 2 antique Harleys and 2 dirt track race cars. The last 2 are a money pit especially the race cars plus I still played golf just did not club ho as much.

Last thing I ordered was low buck compared to you guys. One of the guys on FB on a collector site I go on had a 62 Mac wedge that I wanted. I had one like it and it was stolen. I got it for shipping which was $30 from Indiana

Yep you guys did it----- I do not keep up with any kind of football but congrats anyhow---- I guess if I had watched I would have pulled for GA because after all you guys are my neighbors and I do own a Bulldog ( not a Mack Truck either). Now he is not a genuine English Bulldog like the GA one but a close kin a Frenchie Bulldog.

Got a new shaft in my 3 wood this weekend and just ordered some Lamkin Z5 grips for my PXG irons. 

[pakman92]

Just received Aldila Rogue White MSI 130 70 Stiff shaft with Callaway Tip.   I can't wait to try it.  I have the same shaft in 60 gram class and is my favorite so far out of 4 shafts I've tried with my Mavrik driver head.

[GolfSpy_BNG]

The last piece of the puzzle arrived today. It’s a great feeling getting a black box in the mail.  PXG Gen3 0311T PW.  Will be installing the DG 105 S300 shaft and Iomic 1.8 grip this weekend.  Will be updating my WITB post for the first time in a long while(actually forgot I had one lol) soon with pics.  

[DawgDaddy]

Decided I needed another new hat and shirt for the course this year.

 

 

[PMookie]

The Honma rebuild happens tomorrow! Finally got my Ventus today, so I’m “buying” a build! Honma TR20 driver head, Ventus Black 7X. Going to have 4g of hot melt put in the toe, and play the driver at 45.25”. Gotta find a grip for it in my stash!!! Can’t wait!!!

[russtopherb]

Traded in some clubs and bought a Cleveland Hy-Wood today. Worked nicely for me on the monitor in the store so hopefully once I can get out there in a few months that holds true on the course. 

[RichL85]

Still not technically a new club. I did have to order a new shaft for the 7-iron though. Maybe Nippon will cover the bend on warranty, maybe not. Either way I need a new one and I don't want to wait around on some ridiculously long warranty process.

I got mine about two weeks ago. It’s a really nice club

I play with a couple of younger guys who work in the PGASS nearby, and one of them told me I’d love it, and the other asked me to let him know what I think about it after I play it because he’s thinking about getting one.
it’s crazy how little stock even the big chains have. Thes two would need either S or XS flex but the only demo shaft they have is R. They were hitting the demo crazy long, but hooking the hell out of it.

So far it’s been very forgiving for me, very easy to hit it high and straight. I won’t lie, I wish I could get about 10 more yards with mine (It’s been frigid down here so maybe I can?) My plan is to test this against an Epic Max 5 wood, and the winner gets the spot in my bag this year!
