cnosil 15,604 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Amazon doesn't even make me make impulse buys. I have a quite a few gift cards for amazon that are just sitting on my dresser. I have thought about the orange whip and super speed golf but always find a reason to not pull the trigger. 1 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* set to 16.5* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 816H1 19* set at 18* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 588 54-14, 58-12 Putter: Ten S Backups: 6330, ER2.2, Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to post Share on other sites
downlowkey 3,892 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Now that you're a member of MGS, you can go into those stores and impulse buy with a purpose because you're equipped with knowledge. While I always applaud a good MGS plug, I'm having some trouble wrapping my head around the marriage of impulsive and purposeful.

StrokerAce 10,783 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 A couple of years ago...maybe three now, I forget...they opened a Golfsmith about 15 minutes from my house....woo-boy was I excited...first, I rarely buy new - depreciation on golf clubs has got to be even higher than a new car!...but this Golfsmith had a bunch of used stuff and they had hitting bays with launch monitors that you could use too....that was fun, but I'm like BIG STU - a cheap SOB. I never did walk in there without the intention of buying something and end up with something. I did buy a couple gloves and some tees (knowing that was what I was going in for) but their other stuff was overpriced (maybe that's one of the reasons they went out of business) and I knew I could get it cheaper online. C'mon - 60.00 for a golf shirt? Seriously... For now, there isn't a golf shop near me so it really helps with the urge. I will confess though - I'm an ebay-oholic. I'm constantly looking for deals on there... craigslist/golfwrx not so much but ebay can have some real bargains. 3 Quote P G410 LST | C King F7 | C SuperHybrid | T 818 H2 | S Z785 | C ZipCore | SC Newport 3 Link to post Share on other sites
hckymeyer 6,247 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I don't frequent big box stores much. But I impulse buy the hell out of the classifieds, amazon and ebay. I bet half my golf purchases have come from Wed nights after men's league coming home half in the bag. Win a few bucks on the course and have a good night of dice in the club house and it just makes me want to buy golf stuff. 4 Quote Driver: Epic SZ w/ VA Composites Raijin 65 04 3w: '16 M2 hl w/ Diamana D+ 82 5w: Launcher HB w/ HZRDUS Yellow Hybrid: 22 deg.

Berg Ryman 3,867 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 So, as someone who worked in those big box shops for 4 years, outside of simple accessory purposes (tees, spikes, gloves, grips) I don't recall buying anything in a big box store for myself that I didn't need while working for Dick's or at GG. The only "impulse" buy i've made in some time was the Triton I picked up last year, but that was slightly researched, not pure impulse. The only thing that pushed it quick was the stock (2 left in my specs) and clearance pricing. 1 Quote ST180, 10.5, Kuro Kage Silver TINI Dual Core 60-S Epic Flash Sub Zero, 15*, Kuro Kage Silver TINI Dual Core 60-S F9 Speedback, 18.5, Hzrdus Yellow 70-S G710, 4-UW, Blue Dot, Nippon Modus 105-S TW-W4, 56*, Nippon Modus 125 T20, 61*, Nippon Modus 125 Pipe (awaiting a SIK Flo-C) Tour B-XS (2019) Link to post Share on other sites

Flipper554 881 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I'm an hour away from the golf shop and go in every time we go to the city. I rarely get anything mostly just play with all the toys. My impulse golf fix is the book store. I have a bookcase full of golf books I love to read and see what their take on the game is. Kindle is even more dangerous.

Kenny B 24,090 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Perhaps it's time for Kenny to do a Sure-Out review. Hmmm? I'm interested. I was contemplating between the 58* and the 64*, and went with the 58* because I thought it would be more useful around the greens to me. When I went to the course, I noted a couple of things. First, the Sure Out is a big wedge compared to my SCORs. Second, I had no trouble hitting balls off tight lies. Third, the ball spun better than my SCOR 58* (maybe the my grooves are worn?). Fourth, "Not one ball stayed in the bunker. They all came out" Give me a week with it after it warms up here a little more and I'll consider making an evaluation. It snowed this afternoon!!

revkev 22,565 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I am not an impulse buyer. I look at stuff for a long time and generally decide that it is more money than I want to spend. When I go to golf stores I see lots of okay stuff just don't end up purchasing. I even struggle when I have gift cards; just nothing all that interesting. Guess I have all the golf stuff I need. Nah you're like the addict who refrains by thinking, there's always tomorrow. I can buy something tomorrow.
