fatshot I do the exact same thing. My attitude is that stuff is stuff. I don't buy it as an investment, I buy it to use. I'm that way with my golf clubs, my car, my household appliances, etc. Nothing wrong with people taking great care of their possessions I guess, but I'm just not that attached to them or the money spent on them. I'm also not wealthy, and perhaps that attitude has something to do with it π. But I'm quite happy with what I am, not using my equipment to make money, and not at all worried about wear on my golf clubs.
