Last year I got a moulded-grip laser pointer golf "training" tool, a "putting practice kit" which consisted of 4 pieces of balsa wood that screw together to make a shaft and an aluminium head and a 36 Dunlop PoS balls on special at a local sports shop.

I told people never to buy me golf-related stuff again unless it's something I've requested otherwise they're wasting money.

This year I got "The Natural Golf Swing" by Knudson and "Harvey Penick's Little Red Book" as requested.

I got a lot of golf balls but I'm guessing that was based on the fact no one knew what to get me. They all got me pro v1s so I definitely scored and even my fiance got me golf balls which generally are cheap balls but I'll use in the winter. However this year she got me nike tours as a stocking stuffer mainly because target had them discounted to 17.99. I also got myself a ping i15 hybrid with some pro shop credit I had that expired at the end of the year. I don't need a hybrid or any club but it was in the pro shop so I picked it and will take it to the range to see what happens.

Driver: i15, 3 wood: G10, Hybrid: Nickent 4dx, Irons: Ping s57, Wedges: Mizuno MPT 52, 56, 60, Putter: XG #9

Got some Callaway Tour i(s)'s, some long tees, a bunch of crappy balls, a golf fact book, a coffee mug that says "sunday driver" on it with a golf course in the background, and my gag gift this year was a ball pouch in the shape of a ballsack that says "it takes balls to golf" on it.

Needless to say I will NOT be hanging that off my golf bag.

Whattt? My "mysack" is already on my golf bag and I believe it improved my drives by almost 20 yards. I'm more focused now as a bad shot results in a lot of "Hey... take your balls off of your golf bag and tuck them back in your pants, Sally!".

(I got one of these as well... unfortunately lol)

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
