Mostly asking with a golf theme in mind.  What perfect golf gift would you want this year?  A new driver, golf lessons, golf trip?

Or is there a golf gift you plan on giving someone else, your wife, Dad, kids?

My son asked me for a camera today, so I'm going to do some research.  Not a Casio , just keep it simple so he can film a few swings when he's practicing.  And cheap enough if he drops it it's not a big deal.  He's good for equipment, just got him a 7-wood for his birthday, which he loves.

Mallory or Sara Brown from Big Break, but I'm sure my wife would make me return them. A new set of Mizuno MP-59's or Titleist 712 CB's would be nice to wake up to.

Combining birthday and christmas present to get a driver fitting, and new driver. We are agreed that what ever the fitting process tells me, I can purchase. Thank you wife.

Now to find a fitter. Golf Galaxy may be my only choice. Not sure if that is a good thing or not....

Im giving some thought to getting my son his first set of clubs for christmas.   He loves to get mine out in the backyard and I think next summer he may be ready to get out to the course a couple times.

As for me, Ive only asked for gift cards from TGW.  Im hoping to build a better swing over the next 6 months before getting fitted for something new.

Jamo,

What has been keeping you off the course.  Hope it's not a health issue.

No spring flooding for 2012.  Backup is dozen Q Star golf balls.  Thinking conservatively since this season I purchased new Ping irons and also Garmin S1.  Love both.

Thanks for the concern, but I've just been really busy. ;-) I have been to the driving range, just not the course.

I've learned to be very careful when asking "Santa" for things.  If I asked for golfing stuff I would most likely end up with a $29.99 John Daly special driver.  I guess there aren't many golfing opportunities at the North Pole so Santa can't tell the difference between quality gear and junk.

I do think I might be getting some balls this year though.  When I bought my TM burner driver I mentioned that I should buy some burner balls to match it.  When I brought home some noodles I got on sale, the wife said, "I thought you wanted burners."  So I guess they do listen sometimes.  If I'd known she was gonna pay attention this time I would have asked for some Pentas or Pro V1X's.

General rule: NO GOLF STUFF unless it's something you buy for yourself and let your wife gift wrap.

Golf gifts are the worst. Almost as bad or at least as bad as fishing gifts.

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
