Just as the title says:


What are you asking for Christmas this year that is golf related?

I've asked for a couple pair of TRUE shoe wear.

I also asked for the Mackdaddy 2 Wedges in 52/56/60

Lets hear it from the rest of ya!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but no golf items on my Christmas wish list.  30 years of golfing and I'm pretty well stocked up on everything!

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

A disc golf course in Erie.

Seriously, though, I never have anything on my Christmas list. I kid myself and say things like "the power shovel I got is my Christmas present" or "the deep dish pizza making supplies I just bought are my Christmas present," but I buy things when I need them, so it's just a "con" to say they're "Christmas presents" that I bought for myself.

My wife, similarly, doesn't have anything on her list.

I am still shocked that for the size of Erie, PA there isn't a disc golf course.

My big one is a laser rangefinder, and the usual couple dozen of golf balls.

Not so much what's ON my list, but what I can't bear to receive year after year . . . junky golf knickknacks, banal golf humor or guide books, the same old golf calendars, etc., etc..

How about an envelope marked "Golf Fund" full of big bills?

-Golfsmith gift cards so I can get a new driver

-Some 3Up golf balls

-a nice divot repair tool

-golf umbrella

That's actually the bulk of my list, I asked for a few shirts and books. That's pretty much it. I feel guilty asking for anything big after my wife splurged and surprised me with a pro studio quality electronic drumkit :-D

My wife has items on her list but her list drives me batty.  Conventional wisdom tells a man that he shouldn't buy things such as Vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, or appliances for your wife's Christmas present.  However, that is exactly what my wife wants!  Growing up as a kid and even in my teenage years my family always used Christmas as a time to get the "wants" in life.  Our gifts were rarely practical things like appliances.


So with my wife and kids now I try to treat it the same way.  On Christmas I like to purchase items that my family "wants" that they normally wouldn't purchase or that may normally be out of our price range.  Unfortunately, even with me offering to buy it for her anytime, my wife insists on wanting a Vacuum cleaner for Christmas.  If this is truly what she wants I'll obviously get it for her, but I feel bad lol.

Co-Workers:  What did your husband get you for Christmas?

Wife: He got me a vacuum cleaner.

......

Oh well, a bit off topic, sorry.

Hey for the record, my wife was THRILLED with the Shark vacuum I got her for Christmas last year. The kids actually use it more than she does, now that they're old enough to have specific chores to do. But she loved it.

The matching hand vac I got her for Mother's Day, however, didn't go over so well.....

The rangefinder I just bought for myself last week is my Christmas present. ;-)

Honestly, I've been saying since last season that I intended on making an Edel putter the top (and really, only) item on my list.  However, with the big birthday party my wife just threw, the rangefinder, a bunch of new golf clothes, etc, etc ... I don't know that the putter is in the cards yet.

I'll bring it up soon, perhaps, to test the waters. ;)

      Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.

      I have nothing to add other than I freaking love her swing and I think she's hot as hell and some of my golfing buddies disagree so I fought them

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.
