My brother gave me 6 sleeves of various golf balls.  Love it.
I gave him an old school Zebra putter he's been muttering about for a while.

A new pull trolley.

...and a great friend gave me a dozen old hickories that are just awesome and an old Tom Crow 4w.

My instructions are to make sure I swing slow and smooth, may be the best thing for my game ever!

Merry Christmas to all the GCA guys!

Leopard-print golf thong worn by John Daly...and the beat goes on.

Truthfully, I received the David Barrett book on Merion.  As for giving, I have an abundance of golf balls that I am giving out to golfers in my inner circle.

I got two dozen Pro V1s with high numbers on them (6-8) from my dad.  That should last me all of my next year's 25 rounds.

I got him one dozen Callaway balls, that should last him a month being he plays 15-20 rounds a month.

Mom gave my wife and I enough $$$ for about 5 rounds of green fees here in AZ.

And we each got a bottle of scotch--that's sort of golf-related, isn't it?

Hey Brett...

I got a driver and 3 wood from Louiseville golf from their Niblick Series.

My dad's (who plays once or twice a year and always with me and my 6 year old son) club are actually my deceased grandfather clubs that are vintage 1960 era persimmons.  Cooler than my new ones...but I am still excited nonetheless.

I got nothing golf related but did give my oldest daughter (11) a new shirt and my youngest (7) a new visor.

Plus both got new ball marker hat clip thingys that are are girlie and cute. No way any self respecting female golfer could use just a dime!

My parents paid for me to go to the Titleist facility in Mass. Back in October. Did a complete club fitting. The parents also paid for a complete new set of clubs to replace my 15 year old set (including the 15 year old wedges). It was an early Christmas present and the clubs started coming in in early December. The last two (3 wood and hybrid) won't come in until February as they aren't on the market yet. The clubs are fantastic. But the only bad thing is that the weather has sucked in Cincinnati. The ground has been snow covered since the clubs started coming in. Right now it looks like my first chance to really use them (other than off the mats at the heated range) will be a February trip to Torrey Pines (paid for by a customer).

Received:  True Links... an early peak gets a big thumb's up

Given:  A trip to my son to go and play Lost Dunes (in conjunction with an ND game...He is a soph with his heart set on going to school in S. Bend).  If truth be told, the gift is as good for me as for him  ;D.

Merry Christmas to all.

I get it, you are mad at the world because you are an adult caddie and few people take you seriously.

Excellent spellers usually lack any vision or common sense.

I know plenty of courses that are in the red, and they are killing it.

What else, golf books! :)

My in-laws gave me copies of the History of Pebble Beach as well as True Links while my wife gave me a copy of the awesome The Story of Golf at The Country Club, which won the 2009 USGA Book of the Year Award and from the look of it deserved it very much.

I got a Wife who understands my fervor for the game and supports it fully.  Every day is Christmas!!!  Normally, the "gift" doesn't come in the way of purchases, but in her patience with my Golf trips during the year.

However, this year was different and included a gift (new Taylor Made HT Burner Irons), which were "pre-gifted" in late November so I could swing them a few times before the snow fell.  To be fair, her signed Phil Dawson jersey was pre-gifted so she could wear it during the last half of football season.

This season also included the purchase of a new set of rain-gear.  However, this was really an ancillary golf benefit.  We both purchased rain gear a few weeks ago in anticipation of forecasted showers during the Bills-Browns game (which is another great gift - my wife insists that we go out and watch football every Sunday rather than stay home and do chores).
