The driller is very reputable, however, thanks for your concern. It's probably because what he had in stock, compared to what I wanted didn't align up. Since it's for a 5 year old, drilling shouldn't be expensive at "any" pro-shop. I spend quite a bit of money there, so he's taking care of a good customer, like most good pro-shops will do.
Your argument is pathetic, at first you were worried about me over-spending my "own" money and worried about the quality of deal that I received. Now that you know the whole story (even though you tried to comment on it before the fact), you've changed your tune to that of "you did all that to save $10" - you're not much for thinking, are you?
Short story - don't comment on stuff you have nothing to do with, especially if you're critiquing someone elses decision, as well as someone elses desire to give someone kudos.
Take care.
