A New Golfer With A Credit Card
You know the only thing scarier than a new golfer with a credit card?
A new golfer with MY credit card : )
Here is Ethel at Van's Golf Shop in North Scott$dale. (Why, no - we couldn't got to a golf shop in Glendale or Guadalupe. Why do you ask?) She had just completed her last introductory lesson, and we were looking around for some good used clubs, when we ran across this deal on some Adams Tight Lies ladies' clubs - a hundred bucks less than we'd seen the same set anywhere online.
So we bought 'em.
While we were there, it turned out that they had the men's Adams Tight Lies set - with one fewer woods, and one more iron - for a good bit less than that. So we bought them, too.
Now we have Christmas already taken care of, except for buying for everybody else, and decorating, and cooking, and everything else. But we both have new golf clubs.
My clubs are far better than anything that I had ever bought for myself - my Daddy used to say, when folks asked him why he didn't get new clubs, "I'm not as good as the clubs that I already have". I've always felt the same - but, during last ski season, I bought some new Dynastar Legend Sultan 80 skis, and they changed my skiing dramatically and quickly.
Getting new skis changed my skiing. Would getting new, better golf clubs change my game?
After looking at some new clubs the other day, I got in my car - a ten-year-old BMW Z3 roadster - and pulled onto the freeway. While accelerating into the turn, I realized what a good car that is - and that buying a BMW really makes a difference. And so I started thinking about getting new clubs even more.
So now I've got some. And, after I've played with them a few weeks, I can take 'em back in and have them custom fit to my body, no extra charge. So we'll see.
Meanwhile, Ethel is a new golfer, with some very, very good clubs. And she wants to play golf. So I'm accommodating her as much as possible : )
In them meantime, I'm looking at taking tomorrow off and jumping - they got the Caravan in, and that would mean that I'd be able to do many more jumps in a day....as I typed that, I got scared. I'm sorta planning to finish out this Advanced Free Fall class, but I wonder if somebody who is as ADD as I am has any business jumping out of airplanes as a hobby : )
