Worst/Best Club Ho Shenanigans?


GolfSpy AFG

Recommended Posts

@Getoffmylawnthose are all great haha. 

i’ve used #2 a time or two before, it’s a solid move. 

i have a pretty big gun collection, so what i started doing was leaving a few new ones at my dad’s house, then after a training day at the range, taking mine over there to clean them and coming home with 2 or 3 more in my range bag than i left the house with.  it’s less obvious than coming home with a brand spanking new case.

generally though, my wife and i don’t worry about how the other person spends their money. we have a few joint accounts that are shared for household expenses and our businesses, but i don’t have access to her checking acct or credit cards and she doesn’t have access to mine. 

ill definitely get an eye roll when “more stupid golf stuff” shows up, but it’s just her teasing me. i do the same to her by pretending to hurt my back hauling 20 amazon and target boxes off the porch 😂😂

Yeah, all joint accounts here.  And she spends her fair share without a comment from me.  To be honest, I'd be skeptical of my club spending too...but if you don't know, you don't know that wedges wear out, swing changes and improvements produce different needs, etc.

Another tactic I didn't list is the most tried and true one, but you really have to sell out for it...

4) Acquire new club in offseason.  Wife notices the following season.  Reply incredulously "What?!?  This club?!?!  Are you serious?!?!  I've had this club forever!!!"  If wife comments on new appearance of club, equally incredulous response of "Seriously?!?!  I take care of my things!!  Are you being serious right now?!?!"

I used to have everything shipped to my old office and I'd switch out the clubs in my bag when she wasn't home. I felt guilty about doing that after a little while, so now I just have everything shipped to the house and I make a point of taking pics of things I'm trading or selling while she's around so she knows I'm moving stuff out to have $$ for new stuff.

I may have done that once or twice...

As soon as I submitted my post I realized what the final straw was in starting to be legit - my darn son started noticing the clubs changing and made comments 🤣

I have the uncanny ability to get the boxes from the front door before my wife sees them, and then i don't bring them in the house, only into the garage. My wife doesn't really look at the stuff in the garage very closely.

I also expect the worst, but then it usually turns out better than expected. With my DF 2.1 putter that i just picked up, it definitely looks nothing like any other putter that i have owned, so she would know its new. She didn't make any comment but just wanted to try it out on our indoor putting mat (she doesn't golf)

Almost bought a putter just the other day. Thankfully the wife is understanding and so far has been fine with purchase, though the issue is I am running out of really old clubs to replace, so that's the new challenge, getting new clubs when the others are not that old. Might be able to sneak in that mallet putter I want to buy and try out.

Detached Garage.....About 150' from the house.....She rarely goes in there.

Although, she is a golf nut and goes through more clubs than I do looking for a magic solution rather than practicing or fixing a swing issue.  Currently she is looking for a 14* or 15* fairway wood she can hit now since the 17* doesn't get the same yardage as last year...(all her yardages are shorter this year).... Rather than fixing the current swing issue of practically falling backwards when she swings.

The other day my wife spent a grand on massages, yes, a grand on massages, because she got a 20% credit.  So now she has $1.2K sitting in credit at this spa, and we know we'll be assigned here for 2 more years, so she'll be able to burn that up in 2 years no problem and ultimately save us money as compared to pay-as-you-go.  But still, a grand on massages.

My thoughts as I was listening to this:  "Save this one.  Mental note:  Don't argue, tell her 'if you think it's a good deal then I support it' and then drop this hammer when you get a discount on your next irons."

Got to think long term...

It's not really that my wife will tell me no, it's more that i am trying to avoid any comments/discussions about why i just bought more clubs when i already have clubs.

In that case, we are on the same boat. She won't disapprove, but she'll make fun of me in tons of different ways (your ugly swing, it's the indian, not the arrow, etc.)

Whenever I offer to upgrade her gear, she's like what for? I can beat you with these old clubs. 😭

SWMBO has her shoes/clothes/estate sales addiction thing, and I leave all of that alone.   This creates the need for her to reciprocate, thus, no complaining when those 48" boxes keep showing up on the porch.  Maybe just a little complaining. 

Get more grief from the kids, who are unpaid spies sounding "the golf package has arrived alarm" for Mom .  "Another golf club, Dad????"  Dad is so simple-minded. Golf, golf, golf."

We have our own spending money so she's free to spend her money on what she wants, and that goes for me, too.

Now, that doesn't mean I haven't occasionally "borrowed" a month or two in advance 🤣. With my new putter, for example, I spent a month or two ahead plus was planning on selling my old Spider X to make up the difference. Of course, my wife (who does golf but hasn't in the past two years due to shoulder surgery) picked up my Spider X the other day and rolled a few before proclaiming that she was going to use it as her putter next season. I can't very well charge her the value, can I? Haha.

The other day my wife spent a grand on massages, yes, a grand on massages, because she got a 20% credit.  So now she has $1.2K sitting in credit at this spa, and we know we'll be assigned here for 2 more years, so she'll be able to burn that up in 2 years no problem and ultimately save us money as compared to pay-as-you-go.  But still, a grand on massages.

My thoughts as I was listening to this:  "Save this one.  Mental note:  Don't argue, tell her 'if you think it's a good deal then I support it' and then drop this hammer when you get a discount on your next irons."

Got to think long term...

This, gentlemen... Is how you play chess not checkers LOL

You guys have seen my putters but you should see my wife’s shoes and purses Always go with the long play and not short term. Heck I got her to the point that she set a number and if it over that then we have to have a talk and I have hit that number once.

A few other good tips...

Use head covers that are not specific to clubs. That way never draws attention when you swap in a new buy. I told the wife years ago I did it not to draw attention to what was in my bag. Great long term play.

If you plan to buy clubs have your golf bag in the car. Best way to sneak in a 15th club is with the other 14 in your bag.

Most places will take the stickers off the clubs for you. Makes it easier to say “oh, that...something I had hanging around that I wanted to try out”

Don’t draw attention to your bag with your significant other. I don’t know what’s in her purse and she normally doesn’t know what’s in my golf bag (well she does now after paying the PXG bill).

Ah yes, I have a Denver Broncos FW headcover that I'll occasionally get out if there's potential for a club change in the near future...

I am lucky that my wife doesn't like to buy very many things, she would rather get rid of things, so she doesn't have very many expensive habits. These days, she is mainly stockpiling disinfecting products. I feel like we have a lifetime supply of hand sanitizer. I am no better though, I have been stockpiling N95 masks, surgical masks, and other types of masks. I have different masks depending on what I feel like for the day lol.

Lucky for me my wife’s a golfer and has a problem buying shoes, so I don’t get too much shtick when clubs/gear/balls show up on the doorstep. She did, however comment on the $450 I dropped on a shaft for my driver this summer. But even she agreed it was worth it when she saw my results.

My fiance knows i’m always moving clubs in and out.   Her only “rule” is we dont have room for more than one set in the closet at home.  So any others have to stay in my office at the course.  
If i ever leave this job, i’m going to be up the creek without a paddle.
