I will not be purchasing, trading or or otherwise acquiring in any way, a single golf club this year, new or used.
If Golftown stock drops... so be it

..........So in legalise you can still buy lots of clubs just so you don't buy them one at a time

**spackler** · 02-09-2009 04:17 PM

Does that mean you're going to play the same 14 clubs all season, or does that mean that the cache of golf clubs in Reidsville is so immense and comprehensive that they've become a self sustaining entity? Golf clubs that go forth and multiply, with little baby Apexes and Acer XDS Pros and magic 5 woods emerging from various golf bags and racks hidden in corners of the house?

**1972Apex** · 02-09-2009 04:17 PM

Change that to 'any' LOL!

**Chambokl** · 02-09-2009 05:49 PM

Reid, you better move out of Ottawa to maybe Hawkesbury or Alfred... where there is no Golf store...

**Bravesox** · 02-09-2009 06:09 PM

did your wife make you type that?

**Marcos** · 02-09-2009 06:23 PM

Finally,someone is stepping up to the plate.We are all rooting for you Reid.God bless you and help you in your quest.I wish I had the guts to quit!!!!

**Chambokl** · 02-09-2009 06:35 PM

I wonder if Geoff is going to join Reid in his pilgrimage...

**jeffc** · 02-09-2009 06:40 PM

sounds like a 12 step program. what step are you in?

Sorry ... Reid lives 10 mins for Hawksbury.. In fact he is the golf store in Hawksbury.

Well... there might be one or two extra clubs lying around the house

I do have 3 Magic 5 woods for example but can only use one at a time

But yeah, it doesn't mean the bag is set, just that anything that goes into it must come from existing inventory

I actually quit last year after going thru 20+ iron sets a season for the past 10 years....
It was a good effort, but I still went thru a half-dozen drivers and iron sets... and about 20 putters LOL!
This year though, there will be no wavering

It's very hard to quit acquiring golf clubs because they are so darn shiney! Isn't that right Saint?

**The Saint** · 02-09-2009 06:57 PM

Coming from a guy who loves golf clubs I know this is not easy for you. I understand your reasoning as I have pondered this as well. I know I have tons of equipment and believe me it would be hard just to have one set. I can't imagine that. I won't say how much gear I have but it's alot and not buying or keeping my stuff moving would leave a big void in the BST here

.. Good luck Reid... I'll PM with my inventory

Does the PM system here allow for multiple MB messages??

**sharon.gmc** · 02-10-2009 02:25 AM

yes, I think so. . .

**big easy** · 02-10-2009 06:25 PM

Reid, we are in February, it's not April 1st yet!...

**1972Apex** · 02-10-2009 07:38 PM

Are you kidding Big Guy? This is the time of season when the best 'hoing is done LOL!
The boredom of not playing golf usually sets in at this time of year. Clubs which seemed so fabulous late last season now are up for sale without ever hitting a bad shot over the winter. This is the time of the year when doubt about your current set up creeps in. Look at your sale for instance

**Steelhead** · 02-10-2009 09:23 PM

Best of luck in your quest my friend!!!

**1972Apex** · 02-12-2009 02:53 PM

I would really appreciate it if other OG members would please get off your butts and snap up the great iron deals in the Classified right now

Man, Geoff giving away firesole tours, Apex 50ths going cheap, and my old Golfsmith blades still in great shape and basically being given away...
Looks like I picked a bad week to quit 'hoing

**Marcos** · 02-12-2009 03:48 PM

Oh and you havent seen the pics of the Hogan FTx irons that i got for sale.

I've got a proposition for you. Because I'm incredibly generous, I'll offer to buy the Golfsmith blades so they can no longer tempt you. I will, however, require a loan, as I am entirely broke. Let me know if that works for you.

**jeffc** · 02-12-2009 04:02 PM

I am pretty set in my irons, driver(s), wedges, putter. I may tweak a bit in the hybrid/3w dept but none of that first 4 are going anywhere anytime soon. You heard it here also ;-).

I am also set for golf shoes, golf shirts, golf balls, rangefinder, rainsuit, tees and just about every other item I can possibly need. it is acutally a frustrating position to be in. I am looking for a new bag but I am pretty specific about that.

**OutOfTheRough** · 02-12-2009 04:50 PM

So is there going to be a pool going for when the first club is acquired???
LOL....
hehe

Seeing as how I know you personally, have a pretty good idea of where you live, and even took a pic of you at one of our get togethers that I could distribute to my associates and post online if necessary, I would be happy to help you out brother

I also offer very reasonable interest rates. Rocco, Vito and myself would be happy to meet with you anytime to discuss terms and conditions

**Indio** · 02-12-2009 09:09 PM

Something tells me the terms will be pay back within 15 minutes or you take the clubs as payment

**spackler** · 02-12-2009 09:51 PM

That sounds like a loophole in the resolution. He wouldn't be buying new clubs, just calling in a loan.
