They
say the first step toward healing is admitting that you have a problem.
So I’m just going to come out and say it- I own too many golf clubs.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those people with a garage full of
overflowing golf bags. I’ve managed to lend out all of my backup
drivers (Titleist 983K, Taylormade R5, Callaway Diablo Edge Tour). I
have three backup 3-woods (Cleveland Launcher, Callaway Big Bertha II,
Taylormade Raylor), two backup hybrids (Adams Tour Prototype, Taylormade
Rescue), two sets of backup irons (Mizuno MS-11, Ping Eye2 BeCu), and
at least 5 backup putters. I think it’s time for me to get rid of some
clubs. I just bought a new 3-wood that I’m in love with, so I can’t
foresee much regret in getting rid of the others. I can’t hit my backup
hybrids, which I’ve only held onto in case I need to throw a set
together for out of town guests. That’s part of the problem- I feel
like I need to hang onto the hybrids and one of the 3-woods for when my
family comes to visit. For the same reason I feel the need to hold on
to the Mizuno MS-11s- a set of true blades that I feature the world’s
smallest sweet spot (but what a sweet feeling sweet spot it is!)- so
that I have something to play with when I lend my Cleveland CG Reds to
my bogey-golfer father. Beyond that, something tells me that the
MS-11s and the Ping Eye2s (the Ping’s grips are so worn that they can’t
be used) will only increase in value. I’ll have a hard time getting rid
of any of my putters because I’ve had solid putting rounds with every
single one of them. And there you have it- I’ve already managed to
justify keeping the majority of my cache of clubs. Here’s how you can
help: let me know if you are interested in any of my clubs (see details
below) and let’s make a deal.
