POLL: How Much Were Your Golf Clubs?
I’m about due for a new set of golf clubs and I’ve gotta tell you, it’s kinda stressing me out. Now I’m not talking about drivers and wedges here. I talking specifically about my irons.
My current set (Mizuno MX-23) ran me about $700 back in 2005. But here’s the problem: While I love the way my Mizuno’s look and feel, I’m not really sure my game has improved any over my previous set (a $300 set of Spalding Executives circa 1998).
So should I spend more than $700 this time in an effort to improve my game? Or should I spend less and save my hard-earned money for more “realistic” goals? Maybe I should spend the same amount and just take some lessons?
I probably should have purchased new irons by now, but this trepidation over how much I should spend has really held me back. Perhaps I should do what Stinky Golfer Chris did and have a set custom fit for me. Of course, I’m not sure Chris’ game has improved that drastically either.
Since my last purchase seven years ago, my life has changed – I have a family now and I don’t get out on the course as much as I used to. On the other hand, I don’t want to do myself (or my game) a disservice by getting crappy clubs.
So I’m hoping you can help. My scores show that I’m pretty much an average hack golfer. And since the Golf Stinks blog caters to average golfers, I should just ask how much you spent on your current set of irons.
Now if you got them for free, obviously that doesn’t count. But everyone else feel free to take the poll below – it might just help me justify what I should spend. Oh – and please be honest – if everyone puts “More than $1,200” I’ll know you’re all liars!
The "Excitement" Of A Golf Tournament
This past Friday I had the opportunity to attend game three of the Heat vs. Celtics playoff series. It’s been a while since I’ve been to an NBA game, and even longer since I’ve been to a playoff game. I forgot how much fun it is. The intensity of the crowd, the players, and not too mention the game itself. It’s a great experience and lots of fun. It’s also something that’s missing from golf.
Now I’ve been to golf tournaments, but never a major. So I may be a little off in my view here. However, I have to say, in comparison to even a regular season NBA game, there is simply no comparison.Â
Part of the draw for fans to any sporting event is how much fun and how exciting it is going to be while there. And even though it’s not my favorite sport, a basketball game is where it’s at action-wise. I love football, but there’s a lot of down-time.  I read somewhere once that, on average, a two-and-a-half hour baseball game has less than ten minutes of actual game play. So you can see how baseball could be a little too slow moving as well. But both of these pale in comparison to the “excitement” of a golf match.Â
Talk about slow moving. I love the sport of golf, but watching it? I’ve had people tell me they’re not interested in going to a tournament unless it’s free. I’ve even had free tickets that people have refused! If someone hands me tickets to a football, basketball or baseball game…count me in! And that goes the same for most sports fans I know. But golf? All of a sudden people have to mow their lawns.  They have some work to do around their house. Or they have a birthday party to attend. What’s the deal?
Well, when you take a sporting event at which half the fun of attending is going to the beer tent…you can see the issue here. The excitement of standing still and being as quiet as possible, while absolutely riveting for some, is mind-numbing for others. How do you talk someone who’s not really a golf fan into going to a tournament? “Hey, it’s gonna be great! Over-priced beer, sub-par food, wander around the course for a while and stand quiet as a church mouse.” Yeah…good luck.Â
I understand why people have to be quiet during the shots. I also understand that the draw to a golf tournament is seeing the best of the best. But that doesn’t make me want to attend a professional chess match! So I guess I can understand why people feel the way they feel about a golf tournament.Â
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not one of these people. I will attend a golf tournament if I have the opportunity to do so. I like the sport. I want to see the guys who are the best at it compete. But I can also understand how people find it dull and unentertaining. Especially when you compare it to a sport like basketball where there is non-stop action and the only down-time is between quarters and during time-outs.          Â
So with that being said, I encourage everyone to at least give a tournament a shot if you haven’t before. I plan on doing this myself in a couple of weeks at the Travelers Championship here in CT. It’s only about 10 minutes from my house, so how can I pass it up? Now, I’m just waiting for my boss to pony up a few tickets…   Â
Swing ’til you’re happy!

Life Gets In The Way of Golf
OK, it’s now May 21st and yesterday was the first day I was able to get out and play golf with the guys this season. Seems like it’s getting later and later every year. It used to be that as soon as the weather got nice, we were out on the course. But now, family, our jobs, work around the house and various other commitments tend to keep us from the game we all love.
So what are we to do? Do we just sit back and accept this? Do we just let life get in the way of the time we are longing to spend chasing the little white ball around the big green course?  Well, to put it simply…yes. That’s exactly what we do.Â
When things like this first began happening to me, I had a tough time accepting it. After all, it had been years since I had a job requiring me to work on weekends. So work never got in the way. I was a single guy back when I took up golf, so family matters never got in the way. But now, that seems like another lifetime.Â
Luckily, work doesn’t get in the way for me. But it does get in the way of our regular golfing group as one of us works on Saturdays. So to make sure we can still play together we’re trying to move golf to Sundays.Â
Family, on the other hand, is something that only seems to become more and more time-consuming as well. Now I know I just made that seem like family time is a negative, but trust me, I only mean it to be negative in a golf sense. I wouldn’t change family time for anything.Â
What I mean is, as we get older, we become committed to our kids commitments. Additionally, there are nieces and nephews, brothers and sisters, cousins and friends, aunts and uncles…someone always has something going on. Birthdays, graduations, school events, field trips, sports…there’s always something keeping you from being on the course.Â
So what to do other than wait? That’s about all we can do…wait. But, as Tom Petty said…”The waiting is the hardest part.” We wait until the kids are older. We wait until they’re out of school. We wait until sporting events are over. We wait until they’re too old to have birthday parties. Then, we can take our weekends back. Then, we can go back to playing as often as we used to. Then, we won’t be limited to fitting in golf when we have some free time.  Hopefully by then, all our time will be free!
But as much as I long for these days, I don’t want to make it seem like I’m in that much of a hurry. Because these are the times that I’ll look back on when I am older. And something tells me when I’m older, there’s a chance I may think just the opposite.

ScoreBand Scores!
As always, we are on the look out for interesting stuff that is golf related. With that in mind, we want to thank the great bunch of folks over at ScoreBand for hooking us up with their new score keeper watch. So what is this watch I speak of? Well, for starters it won Best Product Concept at the PGA Merchandise Show presented by the United Inventors Association. Not too shabby.
I do have to say that when I received this watch I was impressed with the quality. I’ve had another similar watch that definitely wasn’t up to par (pun intended) with this one. Also, after wearing it all week I can appreciate the light weight.
What about the score keeping? Glad you asked! There is an “Allscore” mode, which lets you keep track of just about any score and it just so happened to come in handy during a recent indoor soccer game. There’s the “Golf” mode which keeps track of your hole and round score and, might I add, was a hell of a lot easier than imagined. Finally, the “Tennis” mode. Although I have yet to use this function in a match, I still played with the buttons in tennis mode and just as expected, it was very easy.
My advice to you is to grab one of these. They make great gifts too! Speaking of gifts, it wouldn’t be right if we reviewed something and didn’t offer a chance to win a free one. So…
Just head on over to our Facebook page and simply “Like” the post on our wall entitled; “Enter to win a FREE ScoreBand!” That’s it – we’ll pick one lucky winner at random!
Hit ’em long…yell FORE!!! Good Luck.
