My Christmas wish is on the way. A new set of irons, Callaway Steelhead XR irons w/graphite shafts. Santa sent them UPS so it will take a while to get here just before Christmas. Thanks Santa!!

My wife and I were out walking the dogs in the snow this morning (we don't get a lot around these parts, despite living in Canada) and I dropped the hint of a gift certificate to Modern Golf for a full bag fitting....she seemed curious, so here's hoping! http://moderngolf.ca/

Aren't  you glad that you joined the rest of the country in our miserable December? lol.  We have had the absolute worst month for cold and snow here in Fredericton. Then one day ,today, the temp  rises up above zero to 5 and puts a nice glaze on everything, Sheesh !  Have a great Christmas.  I know you guys on Vancouver island will be back at it come the new years.

It is a bitter cold 54 in San Antonio today.  But should be in the low 70's Christmas Eve & Christmas day.

All I want for Christmas is consistent ball striking.  Please Santa, I have been very good (except for my scores, they are pretty bad)

1. I want some fleece lined ski pants, or something similar, to play or hit balls in the cold. Not anything real bulky, I don't want to look like I am wearing a diaper under my pants... If anybody has any ideas, where to get this, that is #1 on my Christmas golf list.

2. A couple of truly free afternoons from my duties at home, so I can just relax and play 18 (I never have enough time to play 18)

3. More Volvik Vivids (Green)

 

Take  look at wader pants. Kept me warm in 33 degree water under a pair of waders .

Picked up an old Ping Cushin Putter at 2nd Swing the same length as the one I purchased 40 years ago. Stripped off the grips on both of them, swingweighted them both. Added a few grams of weight down the shaft of the recent purchase to make them identical. Ordered a couple of matching putter grips and will install them when they get here. One for the current bag here at home and one for the bag at the lake. Plan to go up later in the week so I'm hoping they arrive this afternoon or tomorrow.

I already got my Mizuno MP 67's a lil earlier in the year so I am asking Santa for some Mizuno wedges.  I think a 52 & 58 will do.  Looking to find some quality older ones.  I dont really like the 2 or 3 new models out this year, the MP T5, S5 or T7.  What is with the anodized blue this year???

Looking for MP T or MP T11 or MP T12.

Hope everyone had a Happy Holiday and got what they wanted.

I woke to find some nice Mizuno MPR-12 wedges under the tree.  A 52 & a 58, just what I wanted!  Awesome shape.  Really clean, good groves, no dings and brand new grips on them!  Happy happy, joy joy!!  I wonder if I can get to try them before the year ends???

Driver: :callaway: Diablo
Woods: :callaway: Big Bertha 2 & 4
Irons: Miura MC 102's 3 - PW & Mizuno MP 67's 3 - W
Wedges: :mizuno: MP-R12 52* & 58*
Putters: :ping: WRX Ti4

Dear Golf Gods

if you would grant these few wishes, I promise that I will never curse you again. Here goes:

1. A swing from the inside that is straight and long with just a little bit of draw for extra roll. If a new driver is needed to achieve that result off the tee, I will make that sacrifice too.

2. After smashing the tee shot straight down the fairway, please grant me GIR on three out of four occasions, with the occasional "on in two" par 5.

3. A putter that never three putts.

4. A new push cart so that my golf buddies stop laughing at me for dragging around my "collapsible" cart.

If you can give me none of the above, i will be happy with good health and a loving family that will allow me to indulge in my golf craziness 365 days out of the year. (Of course, failure to give me wishes 1-3 means that I reserve the right to tell you guys to put the OBs, worm-burners, bladed sand shots and four putts where the don't shine!)

happy new year!

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • 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.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • 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?
