The nice thing about golf is that it is sort of like fashion. Every year there is a whole new collection of products. The great part is that the newly old are drastically marked down. If you go a second generation it really gets affordable with discounts of up to 70%+.

I have been saving my allowance :) and I am about to buy a driver for $179, that was $499 a few months ago!

That is true for almost anything. Wait for a few months and you no longer desire the item you dread for which is the best because I get to save money!
