Par4QC SMT You already know/knew the golf world is full of dopes. The headcovers for those things go for obscene sums on the secondary markets, let alone the clubs. There's a biz for ya. 🤣Grab the old Singer and get clackin'!
DonM Par4QC You and I probably have similar sensibilities about style versus money. But there are people who want style, and good for them.
Par4QC DonM imo, it has nothing to do with style. Maybe not even money. It's an attitude, ego thing. And most "have broken 90". 😲
Jelopster Par4QC And most "have broken 90". 😲 I’m hoping to join them this year! 96 and 95 on consecutive days are my best. I play most of my rounds on a par 33 9 holer so I don’t get a lot of true full course rounds. (And yes, I’ve broken 90 many times on the 9 holer played 2x)
pellmell https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/swag/ Swag as an acronym didn't start out with this meaning, but it's appropriate in this instance....not that there's anything wrong with that.
KCee I admire their marketing, but if I'm going to spend way too much on a putter (which I'm not unless I hit the lottery) then I'm going one of a kind custom like these https://www.olson-mfg.com/pages/putter-gallery
Par4QC Typhoon I once asked why anyone would join the Marines, 6 year stint, instead of the Army, 2 year stint. The reply I got was......'compare their dress uniforms, see the sword, see the glitz, see the commercials?'
Par4QC Eguller 🤣 1 guy we ran around with was given a choice 1 day....by the judge. "6 years....where do you want to serve them"?? He came back changed, for sure. And alive.
UnholyDefenestrator78 as someone who dabbles in several hobbies that cater to extreme limited run collectible versions of items, the price differential (excess markup) on these seems quite excessive. This is really the niche of niche markets. He should really try upping the FOMO factor on his releases by offering some exclusives in bundle-only options.
SMT UnholyDefenestrator78 I love Bobby, but... This level of excess pricing makes the original post look like a damn deal. Look right above the email your info to see THIS price. https://bettinardi.com/pages/custom-putters
Eguller What should one expect to pay these days for a highly customized, boutique, one-off putter ? 🤔
