The Ultimate Equipment Junkie?

March 31, 2005

I thought that I was an equipment junkie until I read this article on a recent golf club auction. According to the Scotsman, banker Neil McLellan had acquired more than 3,000 state-of-the-art irons, woods, specialist wedges, putters and accessories in the hope that the latest technology would shave strokes off his 19 handicap.

The auction apparently brought 30,000 pounds (about $56,000).

I’m going to print this article and save it to show my wife whenever she accuses me of buying too much golf stuff.
