What are you asking Santa for?​​​​​​​

[PBH3]

What golf related Christmas gifts are you asking for or giving this year?  I've asked the big guy for a new rangefinder 

[Paul Hedrick]

Nothing; absolutely nothing.

[MattF]

Nothing here as well. They'd only get it wrong.

[EasyPutter]

I used to ask for things up until I was 19.  It was then I was tired of knowing exactly what I wanted, having made sure those who were getting it knew exactly what I wanted, and on the appointed day of receiving I was always disappointed.  The whatever it was that had been imagined and thought about for ages never lived up to what was expected.  After years of being  disappointed I realized it was not the receiving of a thing that made the season so special, it was the times of togetherness and sharing including whatever was on hand for food and drink that makes everything perfect.

I sincerely hope you (meaning everyone who reads this post) get your whatever it is you want.  And with any luck at some point in the future, our paths will cross, most likely in warm months well away from winter holidays, and then we can lift a favorite drink and have something delightful to eat and share some good times together.  It is after all that which makes life worth living.  Merry Christmas everyone and I look forward to celebrating with you whatever is your holiday and those special times no matter what they are called.

Only Santa can afford to get me a LAB Golf LINK.1 but, if he is listening, 35" Long with a 69* lie angle and I don't need the stability shaft but I would take it if I have been especially good this year....

[WaffleHouseTour]

Just told Mrs. Claus those new PuttOut DevilBalls would fit nicely in my stocking

I'm with you in the Range finder search or wishlist. I have actually never owned one and am getting a little tired of Arccos so for me seems like best fit for the upcoming season.

I’ve never seen a golf club I did not want to at least demo. So, if a service exists that will let me create a priority list of clubs I want to demo and send me 3 at a time like Netflix used to do with DVDs, then I want a subscription to that…Or an Evnroll putter. 

[GolfSpy_APH]

Was pretty hard to not jump in several of the black Friday or cyber Monday deals but I managed to hold off. Really hope the rangefinder ends up being under the tree!

Dollar drive club was something like that, but pretty sure they went under. ?

An indoor putting practice mat.  Wouldn't mind one of the swing speed improvement tools and alignment sticks, either.

 

[fozcycle]

Would really like 52/56 Vokey wedges with Fubuki MV senior shafts.  I should get them because Christmas Day is my birthday.

[Kenny B]

Santa is getting me a Launch Monitor.    

[Weekend_Warrior]

Well I'm making a trip out to Pinehurst next year so I'm hoping Santa just gives me some cash. 

[tony@CIC]

A better game! 

[RollingGreens]

It’s be pretty cool if Santa got me some gift cards so I can keep taking lessons! I think it’s better than asking for a new shiny driver

A back yard putting green.

November 2021, we started a back yard renovation after a tropical storm took down one neighbor's tree limb which in turn destroyed most of our back yard trees.  Now with no shade, my wife wanted a small dipping pool.  I wanted an outdoor putting green and eventually, we both got what we wanted.  We needed to do the pool first before tackling the new landscaping and green installation.   Almost a year later, in mid-November, the contractor "shot" the concrete pool which gave us hope for a completed project (both pool and putting green) by Christmas.  

Like everything else, delays have been a big part of the entire project!  I ordered my putting green to time delivery in mid-December.  I found out this week that my source is having issues with the quality control of their supplier causing a delay in delivery.   They have over 100 backordered greens and won't know for two more weeks when they will even be able to ship the green to me.  

Given everything so far with this project, it would be great to have a Christmas miracle and get my green by that special day.  Who knows, maybe the story can become the latest Hallmark Channel Christmas made for TV movie!

And that would be the only time I'd ever watch a Hallmark Movie

Only a few weeks till Christmas!! anyone getting excited for some hopeful golf gear?

[Mark In Land O Lakes]

Simple.  I just want back the 20 or so yards I've lost off the tee in the past few years! (Getting old has its penalties.)

I GOT old years ago; now I'm trying to maintain the speed I have to not lose more yards.  My swing changes are coming around and I'm more consistent now, which helps.  Hopefully, I can improve even more when my hitting bay is complete; that's my Christmas gift to myself.

I'm fairly happy with my bag, so I don't see much changing there this next year... please don't tempt me!!!

Don’t really need any golf gear so I do t have any on my list.  I want to follow the @Kenny Broute and setup a hime hitting/practice area but don’t have a room or space to accomplish.

Yeah, I got old years ago also.  But at first the loss was gradual, and really only noticeable if I compared it to my distance from a year or two earlier.  But I just hit 75, and it seems like now I lose yardage each time I play! (ok, slight exaggeration.)  I just need to hang-on for 5 more years so I can move-up to the red tees in the league I play in.

I had the space for the past two years; it just wasn't ideal... now it will be.  While I head to the course most days, whether to play or practice, it is so nice to be able to stay home when the weather is bad or when I don't feel like making the trip, but still be able to work on some part of my game.

Well, you young whippersnapper... I turned 75 last spring!  I have found that by improving the efficiency of my swing, I have gained some yards.  I'm hitting the ball further than I did last year, but some of that is from moving up to the Senior tees on my birthday this year!!

Looking for a 7 wood under the tree!

[DMcA]

I think I'd like a Tanto divot repair tool. Things look rad.

I have to be very specific otherwise I get random balls and towels, etc...so details count. Headcovers that represent my favorite sports teams, the exact ball I play, the specific accessories I need...and if all else fails...gift cards to Golf Galaxy.

[gingerbeast87]

A new 3 wood, my first one is getting a little raggedy. Was just a cheap slazenger one from a cheap set. Keeping pinkies crossed for a Rife one.

I am asking Santa for a better short game.  My short game is my weak link.
