28. Just Got New Clubs

Dec 2018

Joint in the city where i grew up (sizeable, around 180k people) has a successful internet golf shop. But they also had a retail store front.

Well, i stop in there to buy (not kidding) a putter cover. That's it.

I didn't realize they were closing the retail joint forever. Their irons were 45% of their already discounted prices. I paid about 32 cents on the dollar for the irons i bought. My other irons were 10+ years old and i didn't absolutely NEED new ones, but would eventually. I was never going to get a deal like that again, so i grabbed 'em.

As to green fees, you wouldn't believe how little i pay per year, if i told you. For unlimited golf. And the consulting gig, for 4 months pays those puny fees for 8 to 9 years!

Might teach guitar again, too.
