Ho Question

[cwo2lt]

Does a gift of a club constitute ho-ing? Is it more of a mini ho as opposed to a full blown ho?

Ho'ing is a two-part process. First you have to "get it". The cheaper you can "get it", the better. Then you have to dump it in favor of "new talent".

Otherwise, you're just a FOOL like me who never turns the merchandise over.

That is still Ho'ing. Its just a different faction called Ho'n'stow. I believe Eracer and I are some of the more prolific Ho'n'stows on ST. NSherman would have us beat, combined, if he was still active.

Being gifted a club is not technically a Ho. You found someone else to do the dirty work for you. Its probably closer to being a pimp.:laugh:

Well just call me Pimp Daddy! lol

I would not presume to consider myself in your league, Tim.:laugh: However, I am honored by the thought. I think...

Ho-n-stow would describe me, I don't get rid of clubs I no longer use. I am keeping them & will cut a few of them down so my grandson can use them.

I don't know, we will have to count clubs someday.

Ah, another member in Wi-Golfer. You get too attached to the clubs, too? :laugh:

Thats what we call Ho in training. You've only turned your bag over once. Once the disease takes over more of your body, you will get up to speed.

I tried to quit last year.......lasted almost 4 months then came back with a vengence.

A friend of mine is a ho-n-stow as well. He has an ft3 tour, 2 r7 425s, a cobra x speed, a titleist d1, a 983E head, a 905S, a 975J, an r7 ht, an r5, a ping g5, and maybe more. Actually, the r5 and g5 were traded away, but he has everything else.

Yep, I don't need the small amount of $$ I may get from reselling the clubs so I hang onto them. A few I have thrown around my office area here at home as decorations. Others are just evil clubs which don't have any good shots left in them & I couldn't in good conscience pawn them off on unsuspecting others.

 

[ualtim]

I have sold a few of them, but only to people I know who are looking for cheaper price on a good club. The others, well, its very hard to part with something I have built or worked on that has produced good shots. I know that there are more left in it....:laugh:

I've "outfitted" just about every guy in our league with my drivers. They line up every week to see if I've got one for sale since I lose my ass on them so badly and they're all name brand clubs in like new shape.

So you're a "ho'lanthropist":laugh:

I'm not sure what I'd be called, ho'fool maybe? I get new clubs and let my sons con me out of the old ones, with which they whip my butt with on a consistant basis. I had a putter riding around in the back of my truck I was trying to sell, then my youngest son saw it. He called me last night to tell me he couldn't miss with the Evil Flat stick I couldn't have sunk a putt into a basketball sized hole with. Great, now he can beat me by 10 strokes now.
