I have over $1000.00 dollars worth of golf equipment . the best game I ever played in my life was with a set of clubs that I found in some ones trash can ..... go figure. (long story) . I'm not sure that money and awesomeness always go hand in hand but MOST of the time , they do seem to parallel each other ..I've heard praises on hi-points and complaints on Kimbers but I pass up the low dollar "opportunities " and save , save , save for the " dream machines "......
