I don't really need anything. I'll get balls and tees in my stocking, which is nice.

The RX is such a nice ball, but they cost a mint & NEVER ever eveeerrrrrr go on sale.    Great Christmas gift though ...

As for golf, all I want for Christmas is a consistent golf swing.  This year has been a roller coaster ride with my swing.  Ugh!

But seriously, I usually don't care much for presents.  IMHO, I'm a simple man.  I am happy with what I have.

I'll add those to my list. I have played them for the last year and half and they are excellent.

I knew what I wanted for Christmas. These came in yesterday. I took them directly to the driving range. What a difference modern equipment makes! My old set was Dynacraft forged cavity backs that were about 20 years old.

I've looked at this ^^^^^ but can't convince myself that I can't do the same thing with my iPhone and iPod.  And I much rather look at the videos and add lines on my laptop, not on a phone or tablet.

As far as my Golf Christmas list, this is probably the first year in many years that I really don't need anything, but if the family asks and don't have any other ideas I am sure I can find something.

Oh heck. I just signed my son and I up for golf lessons so that's about it. We're enjoying improving our games together.

Here's hoping all of you have a great Christmas...

Custom fit RBZ irons. Taylormade RBZ driver. Some crappy old high-bounce Macgregor wedge and an even older Mizuno 5 wood. Haven't settled on a ball yet - still looking. Decades of football, weightlifting and boxing came together to create the world's worst golfer. I'm slowly correcting that now.

The golf bag that came with my set was not the greatest, and I am tired of fighting with it. Have had my eye on a few cart bags for quite some time.  The Sun Mountain one was on clearance at Dick's for $159 and we got a $20 coupon applied to it. So I know what my Christmas gift is this year. That's all I want/wanted. It's all about the kiddos, would rather spoil them.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
