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!!  🤣

Actually I'm used to being called the young guy!  In the 4-some I play with, 2 of the guys are in their 80's, and one in his 90's!

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

A club-shaped box showed up yesterday that I wasn’t allowed to retrieve or look at. I’m hoping it’s the 3 wood or hybrid I asked for! The hardest part is that the weather has been holding out here and if I had the new club now, I could use it on the course, not on a simulator.

All I want for christmas is an easy going 3some to join me. All being between 22 and 28 years of age, blonde,brunette,red doesn't matter. With each supplying some single malt scotch or something similar, with tight little bodies. Yeah that's about right, and yes they must be female. Iffen my game is gonna go to hell......might as well have a good reason. MERRY CHRISTMAS to all.

I want my identical twin brother to start playing golf again! 30 years ago he was a club professional, went to work for a major hotel chain and flew across the world.(never married) Quit playing about 15 years ago, now he has retired and has no interest in playing. Has had long covid for over a year. Finally told me he just couldn’t play again,..ever.

All I want is for him to change his mind!

I don’t know if they still do it, but a course in Las Vegas used to offer that service.

If they don’t, you will likely need to find a different forum. The type of game you need to get what you want is not the type of game we discuss here.

Just get him out a couple of times and the bug will bite him again.

 

All I want is a warm winter and an early spring.... Well maybe the "The Golf Club 2019" software for my mevo+ also...😬

Tough call, no doubt.    (It is always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission?)

Only larger item I was looking at was the ShotScope LX rangefinder to match up with my H4. Had to cross that off the list since I got it for my birthday from the inlaws this morning. Back to the drawing board where I just want a relaxed day with the family.

Already had a huge pre Christmas 🎅 gift being able to attend the tour striker academy for 3 days a few weeks back. That was a great learning experience. Even though I used rental clubs from the local golf store for 3 days

So for Christmas my wish is every young girl and boy has a smile on their face Christmas morning. No matter where they are

This is a different take on the topic: I'm got my son a gift certificate for full bag fitting at WIndmill* Golf Center (hopefully he doesn't read this). His wife is excited as well since she can give him a gift certificate for clubs. He's never had a fitting and plays with a box set from Target or Walmart (you get the idea). The only thing better would be if I could be there during his fitting - He's in Ohio and I'm in Florida.  

 *p.s. @MattF can attest to this.  Windmill is one of the best independent fitters in Northern Ohio.

Actually I am hoping for some relief with my back.  Called my neurosurgeon today and set up an appointment for Thursday afternoon.  Shot 104 today and it has been over 15 years or longer, since I shot that bad.  Had to hit all my shots today just using my arms and absolutely no body movement.  My back felt like someone had inserted razors in the lower extremities.  See what he says when I visit.  Hope they can do something and I can get back to normal.  Have lost at least 50+ yards with my driver and fairways.  Had hip issues a couple of weeks ago and they injected steriods in each hip and that helped, but now the back is awful.  I know I have degenerative disc disease and arthritis.  Who could ask for anything more.  That is what I am truly wishing for for Christmas.  Put the clubs down today until I get some relief.  I just cannot continue like this.

  I just want to change that Xmas song to:

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love golfed with me:
Twelve greens in regulation, eleven good bounces, ten fairways found!
Nine straight drives, eight big putts dropping
Seven wedges spinning, six putts breaking,
And five new Pings! "Fore!" calling golfers, three sand saves, two chip-ins
And a par after that drive hit a pear tree!

I wasn't original, I admit it. I asked for money, as I plan to travel as much as possible this year. Of course I didn't find a suitcase full of money, but I got a small bonus. A small thing, but nice) I even spent it on a trip already. Or rather, not the entire trip, but the hotel bill. I always stay in the same hotels (their Florida collection is here) and it may seem boring to some, but I'm so sure it will be a pleasure. Not once have I been let down yet. And the prices are such that I can afford a great vacation not all the money in the world. So I am happy with this gift)
