With Xmas over (almost) I think it's time to create a list of top 10 stupid, useless golf gifts. Maybe after we collect all the posts we can print it and show it to the siginifcant other(s) as guideline for "DO NOT" next year ?

I start with a "Putting Green Mousepad", with a hole and a flagstick, along with miniature ball and putter. Who can top this ?

I got all good presents this year. The only golf-related present I got was a "Golf Hole a Day" calendar that's really nice (full color, glossy photos, etc.).

One year, I got 10,000 tees for Christmas, and then promptly joined a course that gives you free tees. I think I have 9,935 or so left.

So, no bad golf gifts for me this year. My Secret Santa sent wonderful gifts as well, so... really, no complaints or additions to your list.

Same here. All good presents (so far, heh). The best, though not golf related, is the Logitech MX1000 laser mouse. This thing rocks my world. Hoo boy.

I have the MX-700 and love it to death. Best mouse I've ever owned.

Yep, the MX700 is the one that's being replaced. Until today, the best mouse I've owned, too. I'll probably take it to work to replace one of the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorers I've got there.

I got a Golf Digest "365 Golf Holes" in full color (and it's not a stupid gift), but no tips calendar. Sorry.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
