Well, I have two tournaments between now and X-Mas, so I guess it depends on how I play in those. I have decided that the next big ticket item I get is a GPS unit of some sort, but I'll be using tournament/skins winnings for it. A few weeks ago, I put three fresh wedges (P,A,S) and a new putter in the bag.

Below are some super cool golf gifts...


Round File, book that keeps stats (GIR, putts, etc..) From the same folks that make Pin High labels for clubs, another great gift idea.

Pin High name labels for clubs...

Club Caddy, one of the coolest things I have bought. Holds your wedge while you putt or putter while you chip, etc.. Great for those early morning rounds with dew on ground or when it rains. No more wet grips. Just a slick little idea and works very well.

Brush tees. Assortment pack (4 sizes)...

Srixon Z-star/Z-starX HI-VIZ yellow (or white) on sale for $29/dozen (when you buy two). Incredible ball. Truly.

I always use christmas to stock up on accessories. Am getting 2x500 pack of natural wood tees from walmart, 2 SPID-R gloves for play and a pack of 2 FJ gloves for practicing. Two new sets of spikes, possibly the Black Widow custom but not sure if they're worth it. 4 dozen Pro-V1 from Golf Galaxy when they go on sale for $45.99 and a new FJ windbreaker. Hmm I guess thats it..


OH yeah a new Scotty Cameron Newport 2 which I ordered yesterday from my local pro..I can't wait to start using that as soon as I get it, I think we all know it's impossible to resist using new clubs.

My wife was at the range when I demo'ed the 910 D2...she said I hit that much, much better than my old driver...then she asked when I was going to buy it. I love my wife..

I think Santa/Wife is bringing me a Daytona Ghost putter. She saw me researching it all over the place and every time I drag her into Dick's when in the mall, she sees me playing with it and asked me what length I use. I guess I better get her something just as lavish eh?

Im asking for gift cards to Edwin Watts or Dicks. I like some of UnderArmour's winter golf gear. I tried to explain a 910 to my mom, and she was searching all over the place for deals. I was like "mom, the club has been out 2 weeks" no deals anywhere lol. Plus Im getting fitted so she cant just buy one.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
