Never considered myself as an over priced club buyer but just totted my team costs the other day and it goes:

Driver £120

5 Wood £25

Irons £100

3 wedges £150

Putter £45

grand total £440 ......

Don't it mount up

Hows that compared to yours.....

Grand total                         £624

Not as bad as I thought! 

Make sure your WAGs don't visit this site !!!  and no one ask Wayne to include clothing

Lucky balls weren't included as well!

Did the same recently and scared the living daylights out of my self, then I checked on ebay how much I could get it all 2nd hand.  That was even more scary !!!

New : £1377

2nd Hand : £500

A word to the wise, DO NOT, add up the cost of balls, bag, glove, trolley, etc.  If Mrs L ever finds out she may find out that there is a reason that I maintain that I cannot afford a divorce

Just like to throw in a few stats as to why I think golf is cheap

Daughters horse = £5500

Part share in horsebox = £2750

Livery per year = £3400 

Vets/jabs etc = £700

New tack/bits and pieces = £2900 to date

Insurance = £275

etc etc 

Pleased we only bought a budgie !

Only one thing to say, Tim, it is a good job the horse does not play golf.

Ah, forgot shoes - £55 every six weeks, competition entry - £300 p/a, lessons - £1000 p/a, diesel etc etc

Driver - £150

3&5 Wood - £150

Irons - £380

3 Wedges - £130

Putter - £70

Bag - £80

Total - £960

David,

I personally didn't spend £249 on a driver. My house & garage got flooded last July & I had all my gear replaced via insurance & I got it replaced at the Belfry so it was the only time that cost wasn't an issue.

Now for a driber I'd spend thousands!!!

Well for the record....

(all second Hand)

Driver: TM Burner £85

3 Wood: Adams Tight Lies £30

Rescues: TM rescues £35 each

Irons: TM 300 forged £120 

Wedges: Vokey x2 £30 Feel PW £25

Putter: TM rossa Mezza: £40

Total: £430

However this doent take into accout the fact that i have 3 yes 3 sets of TM 300 irons (dont ask) and approx 4 drivers, 2putters, 3 other wedges and other random rescues and woods that never see the light of day, let alone the course. 

I think i would start to add to ebay instead buying only!!!

oh how i love this game

Sorry to hear you got flooded out John ,that's a horrible buisness. A tad ironic considering your surnames Flood. Mine is Ley do you think that ever happens!! Looking forward to seeing Driber in action.
