    Has anybody else noticed how much club ho'in is going on

    As you are all aware I do my share of buying, selling and trading. I love it, but I can't help but notice the amount of activity now. It's like Nascar and we're in the final laps..
    I love it.. people are changing up their bags and moving all kinds of gear.

    actually, I thought ho'ing was down. I guess I am pretty set and haven't seen much to tempt me as of late.
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

    That explains why the WITB 2009 thread is so slow, no one knows for sure what they will be playing yet!

    The only reason there is so much stuff to buy is that Geoff who use to buy everything is a lot more quiet...

    This winter... bought a set of irons, about 5 pairs of shorts, 3 hats, 6 golf shirts, balls, ... it has been a good winter.
    If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.

    Just did a count and in the last 2 months I personally unloaded 8 sets of irons.... that's not counting drivers, hybrids, fairway woods, putters or wedges I bought/sold..

    I feel like I just got rid of a pocket of spare change.. I feel so much lighter.

    And how many sets do you still have is the real question.
    Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!

    I think the Canadian economy is so good because of the Ho'ing going on up here.... The Saint, Hacker and Big Easy have supported the Canadian GDP! Now if they could just manage to mind some good R7 CGB Max fairway woods for me!

    Gee---it sounds like we should wait till we get home There is nothing down here and on top of that I am sure "new" at home is cheaper than new here--except maybe on the internet. Still having fun
    Does the 2nd hole-n-one come easier ?

    Is it me or has the forum classified become a real buyer's market? There are so many iron sets, Driver's, putters etc. available that the prices are almost too good to be true. Where else can you ask $400 for a set of clubs worth $300 and get $200 offered for them?

    I find there's lots going up for sale, but not too much buying unless the seller is practically giving the item away.

    You are a wiseman

    IMHO I believe the used market is almost saturated for us forum members. Most of us has too many sets of irons, drivers, putters, golf bags cluttering up our basements over the seasons of trading in this forum. Unless one is a collector then....

    I hear ya on that one. Perhaps we will have to wait until the actual golf season is upon us for the buyers market to heat up.

    Spring HO down

    Has anyone ever tried to arrange a spring gathering of all the Ho's??

    We could get together bringing in the exta gear we have gathered over the winter and turn it into a golf swap and bull sesion.
    Most times when I am trading there is no time to actually get to know everyone. It would be great if we could get together at a local golf club (before the season gets under way) If the range and bar is opened even better. We could try out different clubs and get to know every one before the season starts.

    What do you think?
