While full of equipment junkies, who stands out as the person less likely to change something, and keeps a bag set the longest? I'd like to put myself up, but I feel I'd be disqualified for not playing enough golf to justify inclusion. For me, last purchases I can remember are a Ping Tour 54* wedge I bought off Jack, would be quite a few years ago now though. Other than that the last one was a Callaway FT hybrid I got off Courty at the KV champs.

After taking a look in Andyp's bag at the Leon day, I was thinking him. Still rocking the same irons and driver I remember from years ago.

I have been using the same irons for over 2 years (although that is changing this week), my driver and hybrid are 2 years old (4 wood only 6 months), wedges 18 months, we won't talk about putters though :mrgreen:

Only my putter has changed since Nov 2010. Driver will be up for a change soon.

I was going to throw you my vote, cant remember seeing you hovering in the Classifieds, either buying or selling.....
Although you where talking re ditching the driver a little while back?

Ultimately if I'm not hitting fairways it is my fault and not the club's. I'm starting to see guys hit it past me who normally don't. That is a fair sign that a change is due.

In my 34th year now I have had:
6 sets of irons, 4 putters, 9 drivers. Fairways don't count cos they are evil.

I bought a hybrid rangefinder/GPS last year and gamed a new putter cover = HO.

Dude, Where's my Par?

I have had my current irons since I think 2001, they were my third set. I did buy a new driver in December, it would probably be my umm, 4th. I have had my 2-ball putter probably since 2003, that is my third putter and I have an original Steelhead 5 wood...
Until I can find a better set than my A10 Tour Limiteds I am sticking with them, especially since they have lived in iron covers their whole life they are in pretty nice condition ;)

Hmmm...my irons are from 1991, and the newest club in my bag might be my Ping Rapture driver, which must now be about 7 years old?

Goughy, nothing wrong with PING Tour wedges mate, I still play them.

Will have to check his signature, but I think so?

I haven't changed any clubs in a few years now (apart from a few shafts :roll:), but Haysey has become the Anti-Ho.

I was going ask about the reformed. :)

In 25 years I've owned 4 sets of irons, 4 drivers, one set of wedges and 3 putters.

Everything in the bag has been there for around 5 or 6 years, except for the driver which has been steady for about 3.

And where has that got him!? playing 9 hole cameos with the NAGA! Karma I reckon!:wink:

Pretty sure the last club I bought was my driver, Mizuno MX700, I think that was 2008?

3 wood was purchased 2000/2001

Hybrid 2007

Irons 2005

Wedges 2005

Putter 2006

Would like some new wedges, but only playing 15 ish rounds a year means I don't really see the value there.

Still got the Oxygens in the bag (and the fairway woods, wedges and putter I got at the same time) from 2003/4, but have changed driver once in that time (I think about 2010).

Seeing I haven't had a round since before the Champs, I'm probably disqualified from this discussion.

not talking about age of clubs, but frequency of change.

I've had the same irons Wishon 752TC for over 5 years. TBH these are a great designed head that would suit alot of people.

Bought a wishon hybrid at the same time which I use, so 5 years for that.

Using a GCR putter that is maybe 8 years old.

But just bought a 4 wood to T off with that I've had for a few months. Was previously using a Cobra SS 427 driver that would be one of the oldest clubs I own but after breaking the shaft, it didn't work right.

I would have suggested replacing the shaft in the driver, rather than using it broken ;)

I bought a set of i20s 3 to W about 14 months ago apart from that nothing has changed from about 4 years or so

I still have it. It broke down near the tip. Golf pro stuck it back in but it never played well again. Could reshaft.

I kinda like the sound the 4 wood makes so it might be a while before I add a driver back in. TBH for me its all about hitting the perfect feeling shot. The sound the 4 wood makes is really fun.

I used my first putter for about 29 years. It's shameful that I have changed three times in the last 4 or so years.

I bought my irons brand new in 2000, and still use them today.

The newest thing in my bag would be my driver and fairway. Titleist 909 D2's.

I might have a problem. I have just as many golf bags right now as drivers I have ever had.

If I am a collector of golf equipment, does that make me a HO?
