TheWahoo Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Fortunately, I have never received a bad golf gift. My wife knows that she can't go wrong with golf stuff. Fortunately, my buddies at Duke's Golf (a local shop) know how to take care of me. Years ago, I did have a buddy that told his wife that he needed a 3 wood. She goes to a golf shop and says she needs to get a 3 wood. On Christmas, when he opened his gift, he found a Patty Berg 3 wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUDque Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Funny list. I can proudly say I've only gotten the logo balls as a gift. My family generally stays away from golf gifts. The 3 that stand out are a nice divot tool, putting mat, and foam practice balls. All of which are fairly useful.

My wife did get me a few nice putters over the years but she may have had some help from me on those. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy My immediate family understands, gifting anything golf related requires a unique understanding of golf only the obsessed share. As a result, they stay away. They also know I will buy what I want anyway. My gifts have all come from extended family like the idiot brother-in-law we all seem to have in common. To make matters worse, mine is in politics! So, he thinks he knows everything about anything anyway. He is 98% of the reason I hate holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
