You can't scale this!
I think a lot of people love tinkering and its part of the fun of golf, but for me I think if I want to get better at this game and become the golfer I want to be, I need to play the same clubs.
A: No tinkering, no golf for me. It's the same reason why I work in the tech field for extremely demanding and challanging clients. New gizmo's with old challanges solved.
B: I love how dedicated you are to becoming a kick behind player Breezy. You and Buck have an excellent attitude about it and it's fun watching the progress you both make. However it's an entirely different way at looking at the game then I do. That's the great thing about golf in general, the different ways of looking at the game and getting different things out of it.
2 short answers:
1) People like new things. Some people buy new clothes, some buy new cars, some buy new golf clubs.
2) It's much easier for people to buy new clubs and think they will improve than for people to get better by "digging it out of the dirt." For those that are content to just play the game for fun, why not get some enjoyment out of new clubs?
1: YES!
2: Sometimes clubs do make players better. It's amazing how often I hear or see "I was fit for this so what the fishcake is happening?!?". You were not fit for that unless a monkey did it. Bad fittings are rife out there. Good fittings and the resulting equipment change can often see immediate effect.
it's all about confidence.
A good point as well.
Honestly, if I had the financial means I would buy ALL the clubs. Every club, ever made, I would own it.
I love this statement so much it's not funny.
