My wife was having lunch with some of her friends. I decided to take a walk and brought one of my friends (SonyA6000) with me. I got into a light conversation with a local and we discussed the occupants of the marina. He told me that some of the boats moored in the marina are never taken out. The owners come down every weekend and putter. They dust, they clean, they have a beer and chat with each other......and then they go home! I guess, having more money than you need can be a problem!

If I had that kind of money to waste I definitely wouldn't waste it on a sail boat that never leaves the dock.

That what you get with people who have more money than brains

If I had the money I spent on golf over the course of 15 years, I could not only have a D850 and D500, but every top of the line lens I could imagine. Just the price of a bass boat could buy a lot of good camera gear!! Problem is, once you think you have top of the line stuff, if you blink it's outmoded and depreciated.

I agree. GAS also applies to golf. Better driver, better putter, better ball. My bag is my first and my last. My taste in putters has changed. I stopped listening to locker room chatter. Cancelled my subscription to Golf magazine. Stopped reading Dave Pelz. (Too much science destroys the game.) Bag and clubs have gone into the garage. I bought a new tennis racquet. I bought another camera. Bought a bag of chips, some dip, bought another book from Dave Busch. March Madness is at full bloom! I'm happy.
