HONMA equipment

[rezadue]

I was just wondering if anyone else has heard of HONMA clubs and if so why the heck are they soooooooooo expensive. I was just browsing the Golf Town website and ran into their iron set. Priced at $5500 !!!!!!

Do they not actually use gold in the clubs? I might be mistaken but I thought I heard this somewhere. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.

[rezadue]

Gold is a soft metal. But unless they use it on the face to give your shots a softer feel, I can't see where else it would be of benefit. Unless it is a cosmetic thing only!!! And I don't think I saw gold plating on the face...

Geoff, are you ever offline?

[davevandyk]

Geoff, to the best of my knowledge, you are correct.

These clubs are for those elite, rich players. For certain i know Trump and Marc Anthony use these clubs and i am sure other rich guys do also.

[Big Johnny69]

Hardly ever. But as for the gold I meant as a cosmetic accent here and there. I thought I read that somewhere. Would be the only reason I could see them being so expensive. But like I said, hopefully someone can answer this for us.

That is just rediculous. What is next?
Diamond and Ruby encrusted putter?
Perfume dispensing driver?
Gucci Bag with makeup kit and valuables safe?

The most expensive Honma irons are..................$33,000 Canadian. Email me to place your order. :>)

You can find a few used honma clubs using ebay's golf club finder, and they weren't too expensive, however I think the honma-type client is not too inclined to buy a used club. That plus I have no idea what they're like.

Of course, we all know that the more expensive a club is, the better it is, so taking out a second mortgage to knock .025 strokes per round from your game, is obviously worth the money.

Funny, if I had Trump's money, I would still use the Wishon and SMT clubs that I have. The difference is that I would use them at Pebble Beach, St. Andrew's, Pine Valley, Shinnecock Hills, and Eagle Creek.

You would fly back and forth from St. Andrews/Eagle creek?

Not far off, I have seen pictures of Loius Vuitton (SP) golf bags. I am sure that they are not under $10k. If you have money money money and more money why not be completly frivolous. I would probably buy Tiger Woods; complete set of putters from all majors won and play them. If that was possible.
