firemangeorge: I made it all those years with some basic equipment. Old Rapture clubs and basic putter, wedges and free balls served me well.
Man! Either spend a "little" money and continue to have FUN or move on.
It seems to me, well it is obvious, you have been playing this game spending the LEAST amount of money as possible. That is ridiculous. You cant take it with you when the clock stops - permanently.
LIVE man! Anything you do in life that is fun, exciting, interesting, adventurous or just plain enjoyable cost money. SPEND a "little" and ENJOY LIFE.
Gosh darn. It just fries me who try to play a game, or go out to dinner, or go to an event -God forbid it is not a "FREE" event and (let me say that bad word) SPEND AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE to TRY and enjoy themselves.
FREAKING LIVE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
