Ho Anonymus

[razaar]

There are a handfull (maybe a doz) forum members that appear to have this problem. I am not referring to those who enjoy a business sideline, but the tragic trafficers in golf clubs who are always upgrading their equipment. I have never been able to understand this.....anybody?

[AndyP]

If they posted in this thread, they would no longer be anonymous.

Most do it, not to play better, but because they enjoy using shiny new gear.

[Lucasto23]

am i one of the people ;)

[razaar]

You are showing signs of the virus, Lucas.

[Ferrins]

In the last 12 months I've bought
5 Drivers
8 Fairway woods
9 Hybrids
4 sets of irons
17 wedges
7 putters
4 bags
4 pairs of shoes
Does this mean I qualify Ray?

[razaar]

For your penance say "I wouldn't know a nine iron from a steam iron" 20 times; "scratch wedge, not snatch wedge" 20 times; and finally "I will smile on the golf course when I play with SMS or Razaar" 20 times.

[sms316]

He usually smiles when he plays with me. Our conversations are "special".

It must be you Ray.

[Ferrins]

And I bought a Ping putter and fishing rod for $3 at the op shop.

[Scottt]

I find my hoing is inversely proportionate to the amount of golf I am playing.

Over summer I was playing twice a week and had no desire to ho gear, now I haven't played in five weeks and I am getting itchy again...

I love the playing around with gear part of ho'ing but ultimately it is just the quest for something you want.

My irons/hybrids/wedges are quite stable and the 3 wood may end up reshafted with an existing one but it will remain in the bag long term as well.
Putters...you can't throw stones Raz but I only have 3 at present which is pretty good IMHO. Is there a perfect putter - only one way to find out :-)
Drivers - yep well the club that causes the greatest problem is always subject to the most change ;-) Of course we know it is the swing with the club that causes the most problem but the inanimate can't argue back!

Still in 15 months I have only had 3 sets or irons, 2 sets of wedges, 1 set of hydrids, 3 drivers, 2 three woods. OOohh and 5 putters :-(

[PeteyD]

New crubs are shiney!

My reputation as a Ho is completely unjustified!

Sorry Hux you don't qualify as I can understand your obsession with putters.:lol:

[adlo]

Most reputations are Courty.................doesnt stop them from being given!

And the fact you have the badge to prove it in your signature:wink:


Sorry Hux you don't qualify as I can understand your obsession with putters.:lol:

Oh, if thats the case then just call him Imelda!!!!!!!!


He qualifies shoes first in that behalf!:smt045


Still 36 hours before I need to close that order Huxtable:lol:

[Jarro]

Ho-ing is overrated, and expensive !!

[razaar]

What's an Anonymus?
In this context, somebody with an addiction issue that he/she acknowledges.

[3oneday]

Ho-ing is overrated, and expensive !!

Correct, cut price hoing is more cost effective when compared to Cool Aid hoing ;)

[Scottt]

I've still, in all my days of hoing a lot of gear, only lost more than 10% on a club/swet once, and that includes some gear I had for 3+ years.

I was a fool to buy the R7TPs retail, but I learnt from it and never did it again!

I wake up and tell myself that every day, then by lunch its, I could reshaft this with that, and change the loft on that and so forth.

I like Tom Wishons book "The Search for the Perfect Club"

[AlexMc]

I still haven't quite figured out how I went from one Scotty to 5 in a year...

Could living in Dubbo be a possible reason.......the SC fan club in western NSW.:wink:
