JonasVenture Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 The only gift I gave this year was this summer to my dad. I regripped his entire set for his birthday/Father's Day. No one else in the family is much of a golfer, so nothing for Xmas. However, I will be "giving" myself a Dynacraft Avatar Evolution 3-Hybrid clubhead, an Apollo Shadow Steel wood shaft (driver experiment!), and a few Golf Pride New Decade MCC grips. And those are just my pre-Xmas gifts!

jayhawker Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I am the only one in the family that plays golf(At least at a level that would want golf gifts for Christmas) so I am not buying any golf gifts for anyone this year.

Mrs.Manbearpig Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I can't tell you. He's watching! I got him the Bushnell Leupold Range Finder last year, though. Didn't he get enough golf gear already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparnar Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I just had a few items shipped to myself. Some True's, a couple of hats, some books, and some accessories for my Clicgear. I also got my wife a Adams 8i as she wants to come to the range with me over the holidays. We also went glove shopping over the weekend (I was inspired by the How to get your wife into Golf article), and my wife now owns a glove more expensive than any glove I have ever owned. It is one of those neon Puma gloves, as she is a big Puma fan. I don't really mind spending some money if there is a odd chance of getting her into the game, although I am pretty sure what the end result will be. The 8 iron I got was only $15 incl shipping, and the glove was roughly $20. Other than that, my brother in law might be getting a golf present, as he is the only in the family who also plays regularly. I know he is struggling with his putting, so trying to find a cheap mat over here in SA to give him. Edit: Also coming over with my other goodies, are two pairs of Kentwool socks. I just have to try these out with my True's. Have heard too many good things, to not try them. In my Clicgear B3 cart bag on my Clicgear 3.0 pushcart: Rocketballz 10.5* stock stiff shaft Adams Idea A3 Boxer 19* TMag Rocketbladez 4i-6i Mizuno MP53 7i-PW Mizuno MP-R12 52*, MP-T11 56*, MP-T10 60* Some old Odyssey putter (Don't laugh, it gets the ball in the hole nicely) Bridgestone E6 Walking on air with my True Tours and Kentwool socks No-one will ever have golf under his thumb. No round ever will be so good it could not have been better. Perhaps this is why golf is the greatest of games. You are not playing a human adversary; you are playing a game. You are playing old man par. Bobby Jones You swing your best when you have the fewest things to think about. Bobby Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he probably doesn't care one bit about conforming or not but 2-way chippers are not conforming.

Ice Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Two way chippers have a face on both sides, because the companies making them don't have much money, don't want to exclude lefties, and their customers don't care about conforming. The Odyssey chipper can be had at Maple Hill for probably 80 bucks.

GolfSpy Barbajo Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Think I'm going to get a driver fitting for my lifelong best bud. We only get to golf maybe one a year due to distances, but we've been best friends since 4th grade and he's still gaming an old Nike Sasquatch that isn't quite right for him, I don't think.

Tyk Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I'm extending and regripping my dad's clubs for him, I tried to tell him last time that he'd like midsize vs standard grips, and put 1 on for him to test it.

furu Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 My dad spends most of the year at a golf village in Portugal called Balaia Golf Village. So I bought a Tin Cup with a whale for him to mark the balls. Balaia means whale in portuguese Getting som yellow Srixon or Bridgestone balls for him too. Thinking about buying a Cleveland CG Black driver.

sparnar Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I shouldn't have, but I couldn't help myself... I figured out my 56 SW is a low bounce club (it is an old Cleveland CG10, and I didn't realize until this week, that they indicated the bounce with dots). So I was gonna go get a MP-R12 56, but saw these on the shelves for a little extra.
