People are Nuts for New Stuff

Last weekend one of our Golf Retailers had their annual April 3 day multi vendor demo events. Nice grass range, tons of OEMs but less than stellar weather....

Keep and use the clubs you already have. Duh!
Problem solved. No money spent at all.

It's what I'm doing. Already re-shafting older irons just to play something 'new'.
I have a like new set of irons for sale, but in a couple weeks I'm going to be able to double the price of them.
Then I'll drop it 20% for a great deal!! 😄

That violated all standards of conduct for being a club ho. Blasphemy!

My dodge around pricing issues is to play 25+ year old irons and used modern putters and drivers. Just scored a really nice set of matching PING ZING2 irons for $90. TARIFF BUSTERS UNITE!🤣

jsippy73 Wait, what?!? That's just nuts!

Sneakylong Wait, you have hair?

No new clubs + no new cell phones = no tariffs. FACT

Sneakylong Yup… they will. Most Golfers are idiots.

Eguller The more it costs the better it must be…. Golfer mentality.

Sneakylong tour edge did at one point .....maybe still do. What would be the $ difference in assembled in China/tariff vs. USA labor to assemble goods that came in were that were already tariffed ......dunno , but seems like it would be a big nothingburger "$" wise for the end user.

jsippy73 I have a tracfone. New phone and 12 months service for around $100. Works perfectly.
Get a new phone every year whether I need it or not, cheaper than buying their one year service plan. Comes out to under $9.00 per month. 5G phone.
Only stupid people buy expensive phones and pay $100 or more per month for service.
I would put a bullet in my head before I would do that.

Tracfone guy here too. My monthly bill was $7. We just reupped so not sure what it is now. Have a Samsung A15 phone. I don't know what more I could ask a phone to do. I paid $49 for it.

My wife has decided that she needs a new iPhone because it has satellite phone capability....wtf.
I am on a pixel 5 that is just fine. We use a pay as you go carrier that rents from Verizon...around $70 a month for 3 people. It's more that enough. I think new iphones are around $1500 right now.
