The upside to crappy/meh economics?

[LINUS]

I've been watching a certain flavor of golf clubs on Ebay, wanting a set but not willing to pay what other seem to think is "good". Crazy what people think used clubs are worth.

Now it's like a ghost town - I bet I get a set fairly soon. Between fall / cold weather coming & everyone ducking & running, I'll be in a new set soon.

My 401K might fall to crap, but days on the range with new clubs will ease the pain. By the time I want new, new clubs my 401K will have bounced back.



Who else has found a silver lining in the last few days?

When the "New" for '09 model comes out, the bottom will fall out too.

I still use a Titleist 975J driver - I got it when they announced the firm release date for the model that followed - what had been like $400 was closer to $150. I have yet to find another one I like better. Hell, I am playing a 4 year old set of irons and flip-flop between a black two ball putter and an old White Hot #5.

Maybe I need to start looking if its a good time. New irons would be nice . . . .

:-)

As for silver linings, in a morbid sort of way, I do a lot of bank work - foreclosures are an all you can eat stream of income right now.
