Dear Santa

I have been a pretty good boy this year and practicing really hard, but of course you know that already. I’m still a bit creeped out that you see me while I’m sleeping and know when I’m awake though. I hope all the reindeer are doing well and the elves are working hard. It can’t be easy living in such a cold climate. Hopefully you at least have a golf simulator up there. Tell Mrs. Santa hello for me.

I know it can be hard to find a good present for an adult, so I thought I would drop a few ideas. First and foremost, I could certainly use a different hybrid. The Adams one I have and I do not get along very well. Pro-V1’s always make good stocking stuffers, but I’ve been hearing good things about these Snell golf balls. A launch monitor would be really cool, but I’m afraid I would be watching the numbers instead of working on my swing. What would REALLY be handy would be a video system like the one they have at GolfTEC. I’m not sure where I would put that though. What I really want for Christmas is a membership to a golf club here in Florida.

Have a good Christmas everyone! I hope you get everything you want!

Dear Santa,

This Christmas I have patiently supported my dear wife, and devoted countless hours to keeping with appearances and making Christmas perfect, including putting on a monkey suit and hobnobbing with the most pretentious and phony people in town. I have validated and ennobled our daughters, whose self-righteousness and conceit are an affront to the Season. I have given my employees raises and bonuses despite not giving myself any. I will endure another dull alcohol free dinner at my in laws and once again be trampled by my hyper-competitive brother in law. I will patiently bite my tongue while my father interrupts me to tell the same dubious stories all over again, for the one hundredth time. And by December 25th, I will have flattered every baker in the neighborhood by accepting a cookie at the expense of my waist.

Santa, I have 3 days to myself, Dec 27-30. If I promise to turn my cell phone off, all I want for Christmas is… please hold back the rain :)

Dear Santa:

Nothing golf related for me this year.  I prefer to purchase golf stuff myself rather than have someone else decide on what I receive (the brand, style, characteristics, etc...).

Take care big guy.

That's why I'm writing the big guy directly. ;-)

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
