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'm adding the Snell Golf Balls to my list to see what all the hubbub is about.

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.

New cart bag

Good pushcart

The only thing golf-related was this - the Live View Golf camera.

Check them out HERE.  Pretty slick technology that I know I will personally get a lot of usage out of on the practice range.

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.

    • @TxGolfDude I’m curious as to how long this ‘repeatable swing’ has lasted. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but we all know how cruel the Golf Gods can be. I too have had quite a golf swing journey. Unfortunately, when it comes to the golf swing I have zero natural talent. Nothing about it feels comfortable or natural. The grip? I’ve done them all and it still feels like I’m holding a knotted oak branch. The proper take away feels awkward and weak. Arms in a proper position, asinine and no feel of any power. I’ve had times where I think I’ve developed an acceptable swing with handsome ball striking for months only to fall apart. So, how long have you had this swing working for ya?
    • How come the marked shots on the picture add up to 366 yards and the label says 325? Are you playing it at 325? In any case, that hole is narrow with a capital NARROW. If those woods are lost ball territory, then I think you hit from the tee whatever club is accurate enough that you'll be able to hit the fairway "most" of the time. That could even be a wedge potentially, especially depending on how restrictive the trees back near the tee are. I might seriously consider playing this hole as 8 iron 6 iron or so. There's more room up by the green than the fairway, so save the longer club for the second shot.
    • Day 555, May 10, 2024 Practice outside at WW, hitting shots here and there. Good day.
    • I took a big step back last season in terms of scoring. I felt I'd plateaued and committed to another round of lessons and working on meaningful swing changes. Went from a 7.9 to an 11. Back down in the 10s. Just starting to see some of the feel of improvement show up in scores. In fact a few rounds ago I had my best round, both score wise and ball striking and putting, in a while! Shot 79 with a mental breakdown finishing bogey-bogey-bogey on a tough three hole stretch where I go scared of the water blowing up my 70s round and yanked three drivers in a row after pumping it long down the middle all day and then hit two of three approaches scared-yanked away from  water as well. Feeling like I can put some 70s rounds together this season!
    • Considering I only played a single round of 9 holes last year and only a handful of rounds of 9 holes in the 6 years before that. Now playing 18 hole on average ever 2 weeks this season. Definitely improved. Not by a drastic amount, but definitely improving. Hitting more pars and bogeys. Driving straighter etc. Practice helps! :D
