Underachiever Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I used to play a lot in the past but 5-6 hrs on the course, plus some time on the 19th, ate into my cycling and family time too much. so now I only play 1-3 times per year - corporate events. AND I work for a big corporate, which does not help!! So enjoy!!! Weather is stunning nowadays!
Pusher Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 The Pro Shop is a dangerous place to vist during their annual sale. Your wallet seems to empty itself for no apparent reason. I recently bought myself the new TaylorMade Burner irons and they're awesome.
MTB_Roadie Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I am not allowed to go there....My girlfriend told me never am I allowed to go in there....
Stumbles Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 gonna pop around on friday to check it out. - need a fairway club

Tankman Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 If you used your Discovery Credit card, at least you'll get some back! Unlimited monthly spend at Proshop
Wayne Potgieter Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 Took the new stuff to Benoni lake golf course today. What a glorious day for a round of golf. Shot exactly 100. Driving was poor, but reasonably satasfied with my approach game.
KnobbyMech Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Wayne: "Caddy, do you think I will get there with a 5 iron?"Caddy: "Yes sir, eventually" Wayne: "Caddy, you are the worst caddy ever!"Caddy: "Impossible sir, that will be too much of a coincidence." My problem with golf is that I stand too close to the ball...after I hit it. Enjoy your round tomorrow.

nickc Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Ok, so this is what i bought on sale. Taylormade burner driverOdyssey putter for meOdyssey putter for the wifeSkirt for the wifeTop for the wife2x shorts for me1 x top for me2 x belts1 x callaway golf shoesa crap load of new golf balls6 pairs of sockslaser rangefinder Now i am officially broke. Anyone else been lately to the sale? As a matter of interest and being a non golfer myself what do you spend more on if you total everything up - Golf or Cycling. My Golfing buddies at work are alway horrified at what cycling costs but when I question them it seems as golf is not far behind.
Wayne Potgieter Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 About the same to be fair. A decent set of irons is around R6k, Driver another R3k. Some rescue clubs and a putter, a fairway wood etc, add at least another R3-5k Shoes R1k, Clothes, R1k. Its about the same as a midrange bike. But a round of golf is a bit pricey. I am lucky that i play only during the week, and i play special days, so i keep this cost low. But a two ball with cart even on a special is around R400 to R600. Then its lunch, colddrinks and a beer or two.

katz201 Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Anyone want to buy a set of hardly used Cleveland clubs? Been gathering dust in my garage ever since I got back on the bicycle about 3 years ago!
