Prompted by some fun office staff gag gifts, I thought I'd revive this topic with a 2020 edition. What did you get from others? yourself?

 

I got myself some new MCC Plus 4 align grips and the Blast Golf device to use for my putting practice. I believe I will get some new golf shoes and perhaps an Edel Wedge. This is what I was given this morning for use at work. Classic...I'm sure many of you have been given this:

I bought myself the Blast sensor thingy, and also a swing speed radar for the TST superspeed group. My wife and I don’t buy each other gifts because were adults who can buy ourselves exactly what we want. So I’ll wrap them and put under the tree with the kids’ presents.

My brother and his girlfriend got me a $100 Golf Galaxy card.

So now I have a decision to make. I'm thinking about one of these: 1) Replace grips, 2) Buy new shoes or 3) help replace my antique 5W.

Not sure the card will quite cover all of that, but it will help

The shoes aren't terrible right now, but I blew off getting the grips done last year. Upgrading the 5W should really help make GIR more realistic on those par 5s.

Guessing the two of those would be $300-$400 range, but the card surely makes it more manageable and easier to rationalize.

I inadvertently opened a package that had my golf gift in it. It was a package that contained my spool of PLA filament for 3D printing, but it also contained a mask with a golfer silhouette on it. I've been using it for 2 weeks but it was supposed to be a xmas gift. https://www.amazon.com/Weddingstar-Washable-Reusable-Adjustable-Filter/dp/B08B3JS92Z/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=golf+mask&qid=1608856787&sr=8-1

If you buy the grips, I can replace them and save you some $$$

Nothing golf related for me. I got some nice Harley stuff though.

Well now that the day is finally here, I can update with the other golf-centric gifts that I received. I got a nice windbreaker style vest (not a fancy one but I quite like it), a golf bag/club ornament, a "golf tip a day" calendar, and a nice Tervis large tumbler with a nice top on, and it is styled with golf balls on the side. My family is quite small these days, so we don't do lots of big gifts, but these were really nice and thoughtful.

Have been carrying a Ping Zing 2 one iron for years but don’t hit it all that great so decided to go with a hybrid!

Got a NX9 with slope. Although, it’s not a Christmas present, close enough timing, I’m re-upping with Srixon/Cleveland to get all new gear in January!

    • Day 323 - Opposite of yesterday, focusing more on taking a full backswing than anything else.
    • Day 139: worked on putting for a while. Did the two cups drill for bead. 
    • It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno…. 
    • Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.
