What's on your Christmas list?

Matt, I am a big Christmas Guy.......not only is it the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, but it is also My Birthday!  64 Yrs old this year.  

 

That's a very good reason to celebrate. And you don't look a day over 65!  :lol:

 

I just don't like where the commercialism has gone. I work at Walmart as a second job and we've been playing Christmas music for the last 2 weeks...before Thanksgiving! How about we finish one celebration BEFORE we start another. 

 

It's changed so much since I was a kid, but so's the world.

That Christmas music would drive me insane.

A week ago, I would have said nothing was on my list.

 

Now after watching Rick Shiels latest videos on the 915 driver, I'm thinking that I'll pick one up.   Like many here at MGS, I thought the 913 was a very consistent, very forgiving head -- but quite a bit noticeably shorter than most of the competition.  It was so short for me, I couldn't be tempted to keep it.  So too did Shiels, because it didn't do well in any of his tests last year. 

 

You guys probably already know that Shiels an enthusiastic tester who doesn't bother himself with too much data in his short videos, but I've found that at least he's pretty dang objective for a Ping staffer currently bagging a SLDR driver.   (He didn't give the G30 very good reviews and recently said the Aeroburner was better.)   So given his past tests, I was very surprised to see that the 915 came out triumphant in a bunch of his recent head to head tests against the G30, R15 etc.   Including a neat little test in which he put the same Rogue Silver 110 shaft in both the 915 and the 913.   Output numbers of this last test don't matter so much, but the 915 ended up much longer and significantly straighter.

 

Those tests have me pondering again.   If I could get that same Titleist 913 feel, look, forgiveness and consistency combined with decent length (not even superior length) I'd be all in.

 

So now what to I do with my new uncut Rogue shaft?   Callaway tip or Titleist tip?  I'm undecided.

 

This makes me think it would be a real shame to leave it out of the 2015 MWD test due to Titleist's perennial reluctance to submit a club.   It might very well win this year whereas the 913 had no hope of winning last year so its absence was not missed.

I was going to say a set of bettinardi or Edel wedges but after last night, there will be a new hard drive error under the tree. Learned about S. M. A. R. T. failures. Not what I was looking for.

The Pro shop at my club now has the Wilson Staff FG Tour M3 Driver & 3 wood in stock for $120 & $80...That's $200 and I get an extra 10% off...so that means they are cheaper than the Internet offers.

 

Wondering why Wilson Staff dumped the price on these.....from the reviews, they look like very nice clubs.....

If I remember when I lived in Corvallis. The sun comes back in the summer. :)

I would get them for that price. That's a steal.

Ok, I'm not greedy... I would like

> 15 mph swing speed increase

> 4 more greens hit in regulation

> 3 less putts per round

 

But I will take anything I can get.

Unfortunately... Workout, yes.

May consider a golf school revisit in a couple of months.

I wish I had 1,000,000 more wishes...

 

Rangerfinder.  This one is huge.  For play and the range.

Putter fitting, maybe a new counter-balanced jobby-do, Odyssey Tank-7?

Driving fitting, want some adjustability in my life

Renegar RX-14 60' Wedge

A golf mat from DWQuail No bounce/No shock baby, something to match the bedroom carpet.

Lessons

Health club membership, need to work on the gut, making it smaller, at the moment I am working on making it bigger. The PBRs are a flowin'

New golf shoes

Golf Balls, Golf Balls, and more Golf balls.  (None of those stolen range balls though.) Srixion Zstars, ProV1s, Bridgestone e-6 Tour Yellow, yaa. 

Little umbrella for the clubs

 

Is anybody really going to buy me this stuff?  Is it too late for MGS secret santas? 

 

If not, that's ok. Then I wish that everyone can have a better life next year than they had this year, and they get to keep going in that direction.

Respectfully,
DHUCK WHOOKER

Kenny B you need some good UnderArmour stuff for 26 degrees and 15 MPH winds, probably out of the north.

I like the all natural stuff(ing) for protection... but a little whiskey helps a little too.

New furniture for the new house

Incoming baby in 2 weeks, so a bunch of baby stuff

So I don't think there will be money left for my own Christmas gifts xD

 

But if I could, I would go for a PS4 and a new video card (GTX 970 or wait for 960)

 

I'm set with golf gear... actually have to get rid of a few sticks that don't work for me :(
