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.

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)

    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls. 
    • Day 1 - 2025-12-20 Starting a new streak, of at least 1. With rain dumping for the next week in the north bay area, I'll be a lot of outdoor net work and maybe some putting. About 10 minutes of 7 iron work, focused on the usuals: weight transfer, keeping hands behind me. I'll have more time in the coming days for video review and maybe some Hack Motion.
