2. You've bought something from either Ez or Rock.

5 points if you have from both
3 if just from one
0 points if you haven't

3. You currently have more than 2 drivers.

5 points for 2+
3 points for 1
0 points for not having a driver.

4. You currently have more than one bag of clubs.

5 points for 2 or more full sets
3 points for 2 or less sets
0 points for no sets
(add 10 bonus points if your entire bag was stocked by either Ez or Rock. )

5. You've bought multiple (3 or more) clubs without hitting them, and then sold them within one week of recieving them.

5 points for 3 or more clubs
3 points for 2 or less clubs
0 points for not being crazy/stupid

6. You've bought clubs for one peice (shaft, head, weigh kit, headcover, ect.)

5 points for 2 or more clubs

0 points for never hacking a perfectly good club to peices.

5 points for 3+ putters
3 points for 2 or less
0 points for having one lowly putter (the smart guys pick this )

8. You've bought clubs from Canada, the United States and the UK/Europe.

5 points for all of them
2 points for each of the 3 if less than all of them
0 points for just buying from your home country

9. The guy at the post office knows you by name.

5 points if you no longer show ID
3 points if he/she at least recognizes you
0 points if they have no clue or you don't ho enough

10. You've recieved a box that has your name in felt marker on it from a previous ho.

5 points if you've used that box yet again
3 points if the box just has your name on it
0 points if you haven't been so fortunate

11. You have at least 4 golf classifieds bookmarked on your computer.

5 points for 4+
3 points for 3 or less
0 points if you have none
(Bonus 1 point if it's only Shot Talk and it's sponsors)
(Bonus 3 points if you have them bookmarked at work)

12. You have had shipments sent to work or somewhere else (to either escape the peering eyes of your better half, or so that you can get the box sooner.)

5 points for someplace other than home
3 points for scheduling a UPS/FedEx/USPS/DHL/Purolator pickup
0 points if your wife knows of every purchase you've made


Scoring:

60 points - Ez and Rock know you are cheating.
40-59 points, you are a true ho!
24-39 points, you're getting there. PM Ez for tips.
0-23 points, you need to work on it. I suggest starting with a new bag.


Add 'em up. See where you fall.

[goatster]

well i feel pretty good i only scored 16(maybe 18 not sure if i bought any clubs from Canada or UK)

[Rockford35]

Well, evidently, I scored 61 with bonus points (not including the 10 points if Rock built your bag). How does that happen?

Geeze.

[Pa Jayhawk]

I had 6 points. I only have six because I never sell anything, have my old clubs from 4 years ago that I replaced because I need stiffer shaft and to get fitted, decided they were better kept for someone who comes to visit than selling them for like $50. Had it not been for those it would be a 0. Having 2 hybrids and 3 FW's, for what I currently hit better is about as far as I go. Until this year. If I get the MP60's, I will likely have 3 bags.

I'm on my way. Buy golf stock now!!!

[Scotty01292]

21 points... Pretty steep for a 14 year old, but not bad compared to some of you guys...

[MCDavis]

Well, I got 35...but some of those points are because I have kept every golf club I've ever owned up until now (points for # of drivers, # of putters, # of complete bags).

Of course, the rest of the points are because I've been really stupid since November.

I gave myself 5 for shipping somewhere else. I haven't done that but there are a few purchases the wife doesn't know about.

[ezra76]

Geez. I only scored a 34, I'm not all that bad. Have yet to recieve the same box I sent somethng out in, that I know of. The hiding clubs thing, thankfully, is not an issue for me... yet. lol.

[Bubble Head]

10 - But it is cheaper, and more fun, to buy 4 used drivers and figure out which is best than to buy one brand new one at a place with a launch monitor.

[sandwedge]

16 points for me. I keep my old clubs rather than sell them just in case I have company from out of town and they need to use them.
