Unicorn sighting?

At what price does a golf thing go from okay to not acceptable. Seems that if someone can spend hundreds on a putter condom, then anything is on the table, right?
A Lamborghini Urus passed me on the highway today, $218,009.00 for the base Model. It's all relative I guess, if you live in a 20 million dollar house a $218,000 car to take the kids to Polo is reasonable.

Totally agree. I would never do it. Crazy to me, with that said I have some Majesty gear here and it’s been featured in Range Days with @Canadan and fared extremely well.
I’m genuinely curious though if there is a line drawn on cost? And why it only pertains to irons and not putters and/or covers?
Can’t speak for everybody, but for me it has to do with perceived value/benefits. I don’t care about social status, so I don’t buy things to impress others.
If there was a set of clubs with absolutely amazing technology you couldn’t find anywhere else it might be tempting to me - but just to look like a pimp or try to impress people with a rare, overpriced putter or head cover or whatever - nah. Not saying it’s wrong for anybody else, it’s just not for me.

I made a snarky comment earlier in the thread but, honestly, I agree also. You're money. Spend it how you want, man. Who in the hell am I to tell someone how to spend the money that they made? Spend it on a million tons of glitter for all I care.
At least he is stimulating the economy.

I kind of like them. But, then again, I like anything that stands out from the crowd. If money doesn't matter, play what you want. Who cares what someone else thinks?
I rarely see guys scoffing at PXG, and my lawwwwd, those are ugly, and expensive.
Just my two cents.

I might be one of the rare ones who actually likes the looks of the PXG irons. Even if the price tags were equal I’d bag them before those Majesties.

I don't think there is a limit on how much you spend on something. If it makes you happy then whatever.
I definitely have a limit. For me there is definitely a perceived value. Plus I like having stuff just to tinker with. I'd rather spend my budget on more stuff and turn part of it over. That's probably silly to a lot of people too. I'm sure there are people with $5k bags that think it is ludicrous to have 3 or 4 putters and a couple drivers and 2 sets of wedges. But to me it is fun to take stuff out to the range and play with it and move a club or two around ever few rounds.

Seems like hanging out on lake and seeing boats that have no earthly explanation for how expensive they are... but boats do attract a certain attention that makes for some kinda entertainment... not sure these clubs would do that...
I had never even heard of them.
Very Nice! Would be shocked if I ever came across those in person anywhere!

Glad it was a learning momentI made a snarky comment earlier in the thread but, honestly, I agree also. You're money. Spend it how you want, man. Who in the hell am I to tell someone how to spend the money that they made? Spend it on a million tons of glitter for all I care.
Guy probably has Wolfermans English Muffins for breakfast too!!
I don’t run in those circles.
Honestly, if I found one of these in a used section I hit it .... never heard of them but they look gaudy to me.
I'm keeping my yap shut as the guy who has a $23,000 1911 in his safety deposit box and a $400.00 Rock Island 1911 in his bedstand. These would be the same, set aside to look at while everyday irons would be the work horses.
