Top 5 Golf Stinks Posts of All Time!

August 15, 2012 | By Golf Stinks | Leave a Comment

Three years. Can you believe it? We’ve been blogging about golf-related nonsense for three years!

But in all seriousness, we have blogged about the good, bad and silly that encompass the world of golf. And we hope our observations and insights have made you think…at least just a little!

What better way to celebrate our third birthday than to list our top 5 posts of all time (based on page hits)?!

Thanks for being fans and enjoy!

Number 5

5 Reasons Why They Hate Golf – Some people just don’t like golf – it’s sad but true. In 2011, we tried to explain why anyone could possibly hate this great game!

Number 4

Is USGA Membership Worth It? – After years of trashing his annual membership form, Stinky Golfer Greg explained why 2010 was the year he finally joined the USGA!

Number 3

Custom Fitting Golf Clubs: Worth It? – In June of 2010, Stinky Golfer Chris went to get custom fit for new clubs. In this candid post (and his follow-up posts), he explains if it was all worth it.

Number 2

10 Golf Etiquette Rules Most Jackasses Ignore – In this April 2011 post, Stinky Golfer Greg lists his biggest golfer pet peeves in a no-holds-barred rant about cell-phone use; playing from the wrong tee-box; and giving unwanted swing advice.

Number 1

Male-Only Golf Clubs; Sexist Bastards or Constitutional Right? – We opened up a can of worms with this post from 2009 on the rights of private golf clubs vs. the sentiments of the 21st-century.

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!
