Golfers: Do you throw away old clubs?

[Fenris]

I ask because as I was walking to my car this morning, this guy walked up to about 30 feet from the dumpster, tossed a golf club toward it, and walked away. So after a while I went over and took a look at it. Chinese-made Golfmate Eagle alloy 1 wood. Doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it. Maybe he got a better club. :shrug:

1. I haven't golfed since I fell off of the ballwasher....

..and sprained my shoulder.

:rofl:

Sorry, that joke is springloaded for whenever anyone mentions golf. I can't help myself.

[Fenris]

3. It works so well!

:rofl:

[TwoHandedLayup]

2. Never have

Either trade them or sell them to someone else. As a last resort, will donate them to goodwill to resell.

Never heard of that club before. So many brands and styles out there.

4. Maybe he just used it in a crime

And was getting rid of the evidence. Alloy wood huh? Is that like American cheese food, it's cheese but not really?

[Fenris]

5. Sort of like Velveeta.

:D

I didn't see any blood on the club. :D

[XNASA]

6. Did you look on the grip?

[Fenris]

7. Yeah, no blood there either.

Maybe he smashed a car window with it.

[underpants]

8. I gave an old bag and my original clubs to the First Tee

Some shoes too.

Hey, if it helps :shrug:

[flamingyouth]

9. Maybe it will match the chairs left there two weeks ago

:D

[Fenris]

10. Well, since it's in one piece, it doesn't.

:D

[flamingyouth]

11. Been to Eskimo Hut lately?

:rofl:

[Fenris]

13. No, but I was going to today.

With my change of plans, that wouldn't be prudent. :D

[flamingyouth]

14. ROFL - on the road to Houston?

No, not a good idea to drink before that trip. :scared:

[Fenris]

15. It's hard enough sober.

[GOPisEvil]

12. I usually trade mine in.

Otherwise, I donate them to Goodwill.

[Fenris]

17. That seems to be the consensus.

[yorgatron]

19. my dad kept his wood-handled putter for years.

he started playing golf before the clubs had numbers.
ever heard of a "niblick" or a "mashie"?

[GOPisEvil]

22. Those are old school names.

:)

[WeRQ4U]

16. He probably put his drive in the drink a few times.

And got pissed off and threw it away. I usually dispose of my cursed clubs in the nearest water hazazard or river, but evidently, this guy waits until he gets home.

[jpgray]

18. I threw away the set I shot a 67 with

Of course, it was only nine holes. :cry:

[KitchenWitch]

20. My dad is a huge golfer

He saves the clubs and regrips them and often replaces the shafts...He has like eight sets of clubs...did I mention that my dad is a packrat?

[Blue-Jay]

21. I threw a pitching wedge into a lake once.
