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.

SWING DNA
Speed [77] Tempo [5] ToeDown [5] KickAngle [6] Release [5] Mizuno JPX EZ 10.5° - Fujikura Orochi Black Eye (with Harrison ShotMaker) Mizuno JPX EZ 3W/3H - Fujikura Orochi Black Eye Mizuno JPX 850 Forged 4i-PW - True Temper XP 115 S300 Mizuno MP R-12 50.06/54.09/58.10 - Dynamic Gold Wedge Flex Mizuno MP A305 [:-P]


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 

A new titleist golf bag and some pro vs.

:whistle:

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

Hahaha.....golf gifts are forbidden.  My family knows not to buy me golf related items. Once in a blue moon, I'll ask for a very specific stocking stuffer, but that's about it..

What's in Paul's Bag:
- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Driver
- Big Bertha Alpha 815 3-wood
- Callaway Razr Fit 5-wood
- Callaway Big Bertha 4-5 Rescue Clubs
-- Mizuno Mx-25 six iron-gap wedge
- Mizuno Mp-T4 56degree SW
- Mizuno Mp-T11 60degree SW
- Putter- Ping Cadence Ketsch


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)

    • Unless it has changed recently, CONGU – who control handicapping in Great Britain and Ireland – affirmed the Local Rule could not be used in any qualifying competitions or general play scores. That’s any event where handicap marks could be affected.
    • I think you are spot on.  Seems like every survey I read about playing golf in the US says that the biggest issue here is pace of play. Anything that can help pace of play feels like a good idea. 
    • Just checking.  Are you healthy again? I seem to remember you going through some injury issues. Are all of those behind you now? Or are you still doing PT? 
    • Funny, I heard a talking head on the radio this afternoon saying words to the effect of "Why would any coach want to draft Shedeur Sanders?"  The point being that since Deion Sanders has expressed interest in becoming an NFL head coach, allegedly even going so far as to "reach out" to NFL teams to express interest in taking over their head coaching duties. Why would you draft Shedeur Sanders knowing that if you get off to a rocky start with him Deion is going to "reach out" to your owner and suggest that he should take over head coaching duties?  Of course their are more people involved in the decisions on who to draft, but if I'm a head coach and I have a say in the process. I think I'd stay away from him.  It was an interesting take. I actually didn't think of Deion that way. I pictured it more of having to deal with Deion Sanders second guessing you all the time and being annoying in the media. I never really thought about Deion Sanders actually taking your job. 
    • I mean we're going to win two or three of the next four super bowls, so copying might be a good idea... 😉🦅 Of course, we've gotta stay ahead of the curve, so everyone started drafting DTs, we went with LBs 🤣
