My big oil grandma got a huge royalty check and told my wife to tell me to pick out whatever club I want.  I'm trying to get an Edel putter and drive up to take a tour of the shop 10 minutes north.  I'd like to talk with David Edel and do a little review for the site, so keep your fingers crossed.

Hoping Mrs. Santa will approve a joint trip to Vegas this winter for us to get some Mesquite desert golf in - will alleviate a mopey husband for 5 months of golfless winter...

I agree completely! Last year I got a box of Dunlop balls, a "practice putter" in which the shaft unscrews into 4 pieces to be pocket-sized, a golf moulded grip with laser pointer to practice indoor swings and some golf socks which were normal socks with pictures of golfers on them. lol

I'd love a Bushnell V2 for Christmas but I don't see that happening.

My darling wife must have been reading your mind because last night out of the blue she said why don't you buy that driver you want and I'll wrap it for Christmas - R11 here we come.

I get a golftrip to Scotland and England. We're going to play Carnoustie, Old Course, Royal Liverpool, Birkdale, Lytham & St. Annes and possibly the coolest of them all: Musselburgh ( http://mocgc.com/visitors/hickory-golf ) with Hickory Sets and gutty golf balls.

I'm pretty stoked

And I'm going to buy myself some new irons, I think the Nike VR Pro Combo

Pfffttt. Is that all? My kids get me a huge bag of tees and a couple of golf gloves. So you keep your Open Champoinship rotation and I will sit here hoping I get natural colored tees instead of white....

Thinking of getting myself the Opti-Shot and letting my wife wrap it. So I can work on the swing a little throughout the long....cold .....winter months.

Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated

I want my left arm/elbow back. I tweaked it last month and haven't touched a club for the past month. Weather was pretty good too. bah.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

The same thing I have wanted for Xmas the last 15+ years..... nothing. If I want it I go out and buy it for myself (within reason).

Like some others, if I get anything golf related it'll be a dud, so I'll just look forward to all the other "gifts" Christmas season offers when you have a job, a nice family and are relatively healthy. My daughter is skating on her own now (mostly falling, but she'll get there) so weather permitting we'll be checking out the local outdoor rink (ODR) on Boxing Day (Dec 26). We went to the lighting of the Christmas tree party on Tuesday and that was nice (the city turns on the lights on all the decorated trees - and one particulary huge one - outside city hall) which kicks off the Festival of Trees this weekend (local custom - very Christmassy) Gonna see Santa somewhere (probably at the mall). The 2 month old will be terrified and screaming for the photo of course, but it's all part of the tradition.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

    • Wordle 1,644 3/6* ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 a case of elimination and a good guess using what was left to choose from 
    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.
