Prices on golf equipment, I have a question: How Low Can You Go???

I know that I posted this entry on my other blog, but I liked it so damn much that I had to post it here, and since the ecomony is bottoming out and it's such a big issue, take solace in the face that it seems that prices on everything seem to be goin down down down. I recently found some golf equipment worthy of my saliva that I purchased on the spot! a full set of golf clubs... Callaway X-20 eye-rons to be exact! 3 thru pitching wedge, this set has custom weighting as well as unique shaft stiffness that's customized for a golfer who's my size, considering my swing style and clubhead speed... and boy o boy, they are amazingly accurate: Seriously, I don't think I could throw a dart at a photo of George Bush as straight as I can hit a golf ball with these irons... it's amazing. I get a full-on Kool-Aid Man smile on my face every time I hear that lovely "THWACK!" as the iron grabs a touch of grass right beneath that ball and blasts it down the fairway like one of those robot club tester things that you used to see on early-morning infomercials... but when that ball takes off into the sunset, eclipsing the flag as it sails almost magnetically towards the green, it makes a grown man want to cry, especially with all that backspin... enough to make even the most equilibrious (yes, I made this word up) figure skater have her lunch return on her from pure dizziness.

here's the upside (and the point of this silly blog-o-rama): there is an upside to this downer economy... things are getting cheaper, & it isn't just the necessities... it's the fun stuff too...

like golf junk for golfin' junkies.

Ideas for golf equipment...

If you go to a major, golf-specific retailer, you'd be amazed with the amount of stuff in the golf equipment section. They make all kinds of tricked-out items, some of which are gimmicks, but mostly good stuff. I'm thinking that now that summer is here, sunblock should be kept in your bag. It's also a good idea to shop around for golf hats and find one that fits you comfortably, provides good ventilation to keep cool (you gotta stay hydrated on the course and make sure you stay cool! everyone knows you lose and gain heat mostly from your head) ... but most importantly, it should shade your face, not only to ensure a consistent view when putting, but also to avoid a sunburn completely and allow you to track your ball easier after a long, hanging tee shot.
