You can still edit your post to delete the whole "inferiority complex" comment.

 

I stand by my comment about the inferiority complex in golf; perhaps it was worded wrong.  If you have a question or comment about it feel free to PM me and we can discuss.... in the meantime I have edited it and replaced it with something different just in case it is misconstrued.  

 

Not sure if you saw it but this was my comment clarifying it...

Finally - in regards to my comment about the inferiority complex...

This is the definition of inferiority complex from the dictionary:

"lack of self-esteem; feeling of inadequacy; lack of self-confidence."

 

I have a buddy who is a member of a fancy club.  He and his father have a pretty successful accounting firm and they needed a "tax write-off".  So he invites me to "the club" for a round with him and a couple other guys.

I have a 1996 black Toyota Camry... I pull into the lot and see nothing but luxury cars.

I park as far away from the clubhouse as possible.

I have a set of clubs which I got used that are years old in a bag from craigslist with balls that people have found and given to me.

I'm wearing a golf shirt and khakis that I picked up at the goodwill.  I have a pair of golf shoes I got on clearance 2 years ago that were a great deal but were a half size too big.

We get to the tee box and I see staff bags full of gear I can only dream of and guys decked out in the latest attire... 

Needless to say I felt like I didn't belong...some may say inferior.  (this all true)

 

Unfortunately golf is one of the few sports that can make you feel that way; anyone who doesn't believe that is the case is simply living in denial.  I know there are a lot of efforts to make it more 'available' to others but there is a lot of work still to be done.

First off let me say that this is a JUDGEMENT FREE ZONE.... no ifs, ands or buts...

 

Secondly - if anyone feels offended by this thread I'd like to extend my hand and say I'm sorry; this is not what was intended.

 

It's no secret that PXG gear is expensive. It's also no secret that makes them a target for a bit of poking, prodding and humor along the way. But I give Bob Parsons credit, he takes it and doesn't give a crap like the former Marine he is. I'm a former Marine, I love his attitude and I think his clubs are bad ass. Love the fact he uses MOS numbers on his stuff.... and honestly, if I could afford it I might play it. The intent of this was just to ask where people stood on it. It wasn't to judge those who choose to play PXG or whatever.... who knows, maybe a 60 dollar glove is worth it. For most of us that cost isn't out of question...and let me tell you something, if that glove won the coveted MGS Most Wanted award I'd bet that there'd be a lot of interest in it. If they told me that this glove would last 2 years minimum and is the best thing available I'd buy it (I figure 30 dollars a year for a golf glove is reasonable)...PXG or not...I buy the best equipment for my game and could care less about brands. That's why I'm a HUGE fan of MGS because they have the same philosophy.

 

Finally - in regards to my comment about the inferiority complex...

TO summarize - I'm not judging you if play PXG or XYZ or ABC...noone is; no judgment on if you get the glove and say - hey, it's pretty good and 60 isn't that much.

If you find it offensive - again - I'm sorry, that really wasn't the intention.

It was just a conversation starter to ask what folks thought about a relatively expensive golf glove is all - nothing more, nothing less.

P.S. If anyone thinks this has gone too far and is not in the spirit of the MGS forum then let me know and I will be happy to figure out a way to delete the entire thread. I don't want to put a stain on this great community we've built here.

I don't remember my score... this was about 3-4 years ago.  I think I shot somewhere around 92.  

I was really nervous until about the 15th hole.  :)

I did have a couple of nice shots...and the course itself was great.

 

The important thing was I beat my buddy who is a member!  He stinks, knows it and doesn't care...

I'm beginning to think that they are selling gloves for $60 in order to stimulate conversations like the ones we are having in this thread.

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

OK so I skipped all the banter and jokes but have been watching this thread progress.

 

Back on track, real question. What's PXG's selling point for these gloves? They justify the price for their irons through extensive fitting and full face milling, but how are they justifying the price on the gloves?

 

There doesn't appear to be anything remarkable or proprietary about them. What am I missing?

That's the point. What is it that calls for the price? The brand name.

 

From what I understand it is the quality of the leather they use in the glove.  Similar to what is used in some of the finest vehicles in the world.

And I raise the BS flag. Hopefully this glove will be put through the ringer at HQ during the most wanted testing. I get a half season or better out of my $17 footjoy. If my math is correct I should be able to get roughly 2 years out of this glove? Doubt it.

So I understand part of the cost of PXG clubs is the fitting process and I can see that. But on the glove are they'd going to fit me? Or is the glove designed to reducing sweating? I think when it all comes down to it its just the label. Kinda like the Tiffany's blue box. And I'm ok with that if someone wants that glove it's just not for me.

 

After 73 comments on e glove, I wonder if someone wants to bring up the cost of the bag.

So, just ordered the glove and will review it ;)

Not all heroes wear capes. Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

 

 

I read the description stroker posted about the aniline leather. Definitely sounds super premium. Doesn't seem 100% necessary for something you're going to sweat in but it certainly meets the Rolex qualities that PXG embodies.

this is ridiculous. My FJ gloves are just fine. And as Penick points out in his little red book, you don't need a glove.

Thought you might have played there, being just up the road a bit for you...I usually play it once or twice a year.  Being that I have a membership at my local course, my wife sometimes discourages "road trips". Being that to her golf is golf. She wouldn't no the difference between Augusta and a neglected cow pasture. So, to keep peace and golfing as much as I want, I heed her wishes for the most part. Keep my road trips to about a half dozen a year.

I try to get around a bit. Blackstone national is nice too. Play a couple of the courses in Plymouth. Out towards Worcester, up around Cyprian Keyes.

I like variety!

I like Blackstone....to be a hypocrite from my Bubba posts....Cyprian is very nice, but it "doesn't fit my eye" to be translated into the King's English..."don't play well there"
