Would love to have the coin to spend more money on golfing equipment and clothing but I don't haha so I basically just rotate between a black nike polo and a light coloured adidas polo depending on the weather. The Mrs bought me the adidas polo along with a puma cap as I was always getting burnt haha.
I actually don't own golf shoes, they're next on my list - and suggests for a bloke on a tight budget? I've actually been keeping my eyes out on gumtree and buy swap and sell facebook pages for some size 12 shoes.

i hope this doesnt come out the wrong way, for mine golf shoes are vital in your arsenal. you're on your feet all day. to go cheap will impact your feet and your play as you will be hopping around.
try some different ones at your local store. footjoy make the best IMO.

Absolutely
I have an awesome pair of Dress RipCurl lime shorts I'll wear with many tops, Oakley FJ Nike Adidas
All about the colours for me
Haha it's all good mate
As I said I've been meaning to get a pair, but those ones you linked above are always going to be well out of my price range. Actually think all of my equipment combined would be less expensive than those haha. In fact they're more expensive than my annual golf membership

So I went into Pureform for a full bag fit, they had a 60% off discount in March, it usually costs around $400.
I recommend anyone that hasn't done a proper fitting with modern 3d modeling technology like trackman etc to do it. Has completely changed the game for how accurate you can dial in your clubs to your swing.
I used to get "fitted" with skid pads and tape on clubs etc, it's laughable to think of that now, plenty of pro's still use them to fit golf clubs, which is ridiculous.
It'd take me forever to post all the data, but these were the winning clubs/shaft combinations. They couldn't beat my current hybrid setup. So they are just lengthening it and spine aligning it. We also tested balls for my swing, the Bridgestone B330 won out for me. All the grips are getting made thicker to my standard which helps people with bigger hands from turning itover too much.

gonna rock adidas tomorrow
Picking up a second hand 3-wheel push buggy I found on gumtree this afternoon. My current one has a sharp left hook and the brakes buggered. Added benefit of the one I'm picking up is a seat and an umbrella holder. Pretty good score for $20.

Just on golf shoes, found the footjoy ones I had which were supposed to be the 'best of the best' terrible in terms of comfort and stability. Was constantly rolling my ankle in them for some reason. Last year I got the ecco hybrid shoes which are the best I've ever had. Cost like $400 in Bris but out at Melb DFO I was able to get them for $110.

Finding a good golf shoe seems to be the hardest aspect of it all.

Anyone got any experience with GameGolf or Arccos? Someone buying me a birthday gift has given me a choice.

I have Gamegolf, the classic, not the new live one, but just find it to be a pain having to tag it before every shot. A lot of mucking around after a round if you aren't vigilant on the course. Was considering Arccos but heard the weight of the sensors are quite noticeable and could potentially affect your swing.

Yeah cons with GG seem to be limited to the need to tag. Arccos cons seem to be related to the tag weights and the sensors missing/adding shots at random. It seems like neither is foolproof. Arccos getting the better reviews.

do they work in same way as golfshot and other apps on the iphone? gps, score tracking? i imagine those ones you noted do much more.
i havent, IMO too much mucking around, dont even use golfshot anymore. i got enough things to worry about on the course then having to remember to remember to enter something or check something during the round.
good luck in your decision however!
Ordered a pair of these online today. It's a budget shoe but have read some reviews and it should be okay.

Who through?
Golfbox, $99 with free express shipping. That was about my budget - I looked around a bit. My birthday later this month and the girlfriend offered to get me a pair for that but she lives around the corner from drummond golf at southland there and it's always very pricey there.

Golfbox are great. Can order in Brissy at like 4pm and have them arrive the next day at 10am. Pretty amazing.
Yeah I've heard good things.
Anyone have any recommendations on where to buy balls? Usually I just pop in to Boyles Golf Shed in tullamarine but I believe it's closed Sundays now so makes it hard to find time to get there.
