Whenever we go to the beach it seems that I spend more time on par 3 sand than on beach sand. What a great article, and it is good to see someone who has his priorities in a row. We need to reward ourselves for jobs well done, and I believe in budgeting for these times as well.

Enjoy your new driver. I hope it takes your game to the next level!

I got my HiBore (stiff shaft) last year! Absolutely love it. Bought Cleveland’s Visual Performance putter a few months ago. It is just as great.

I’m going to have my man read this post. He likes to golf too and will be playing more now that the weather is nice. I don’t mind him purchasing new stuff from time to time as long as he puts our priorities/financial goals first. Enjoy your new driver!

@Mark, I did the same thing! I didn’t play for a whole year, while getting out of debt. And, I only played once a month while building up my emergency fund. I missed it, but I needed those greens fees for debt reduction!

I’m glad to see a personal finance blogger write about golf! I gave up golf when I finally had my financial epiphany because paying for greens fees, new clubs and balls, and driving range buckets was a major contributor to my credit card debt. I made the promise to myself that I wouldn’t play anymore until I was debt-free and had a fully funded emergency fund and fully funded Roth IRA.

It’s that much more motivation for me to get my financial house in order!
