Come Sit on Santa’s Lap!

Posted by Double Eagle in Miscellaneous

Because of the extensive connections I have (not to brag), I managed to block out some of Santa Claus’ time.  He agreed to come and hang out with me so all of you can tell him your Christmas golf wishes for 2010.  So, come kids of all ages, sit on Santa’s lap and tell him what you want! It can be something for you, something for someone special, or anything relating to golf, in general.  Leave your list in the comments section.

I’ll get this party started and give you the five things I’m asking from Santa for Christmas.

Enough Tiger Drama

First and foremost, I want a return to normalcy in the world of PGA Tour golf.  The Tiger Woods story has been one of the biggest of the year, and I’m guilty of gossiping about all the ins and outs (no pun intended) of that whole mess.

For 2010, I want the elephant in the room to get up and walk away.  I want Tiger back on the course and I want to go back to the way things used to be, when I felt like I could root for him without thinking about all this controversy whenever his name is uttered.

Gimme Some Iron

I want a new set of irons.  I planned on getting a new set last year but because I was struggling with my ball striking for much of the year, I didn’t feel I had earned it.  Well, I’m pretty much over that hump, so it’s time to replace my worn Callaway X-16 Pros with something new.  I debated a few different new models last year, but I’m undecided now so Santa will have to use his judgment.

Soaring to New Highs

Obviously, I want my game improvement to continue.  I made some really good progress last year (despite some hurdles) and I feel like I’m ready to continue breaking through.  I can’t wait to get out there in the spring, work hard, and break through all the barriers that I can.

I learned an awful lot last year.  Not only did I make strides in my game, but I learned a lot about the mechanics of the golf swing in general and how those nuances apply directly to my specific swing.  I feel like I’m actually getting to the point where I understand what’s going on under the hood.  That’s a good feeling and I want it to continue next year.

Take Me Away

It’s been a long while since I did a golf getaway, so I’d like to do a mini golf vacation in 2010.  The dream vacation to Scotland is pretty much off the table for 2010, but if I can get to Myrtle Beach or Florida or Arizona for a long weekend of golf, that would be ideal.

And My Gift To You

You didn’t expect me to use all five things on my list for myself, did you?

I’m asking Santa to bring you everything you desire in the realm of golf for 2010 (I can’t influence anything outside of the universe of golf, so you’re on your own with that other stuff).  You had better take advantage and tell Santa everything you want because Christmas is only a couple of days away.

Leave your list for Santa in the comments and if you’ve been good this year, you never know, your wish may come true!  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  Even if Christmas isn’t your thing, I still wish all the best for you and yours for 2010.

    That’s quite a list, Michael! You’ve been a good boy so it’s all doable, except maybe the Tiger Woods thing. That may be too big even for Santa to deal with.

    Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!

    I’m wishing to be able to get it up and down like Tiger (no pun intended)

    That’s too bad, TP Golf, that would have been a great pun. I’ll see what I can do to help you score more next year!

    It’s the end of December; there’s snow on the ground. All I can think about are 5-wood shots from the fairway and chipping. When will the weather improve? I’d be pretty happy with anything above 45*, light winds and a relatively firm course.

    Sorry, Diane, but I can’t make the temperature in your region get into the mid 40’s for at least the next ten days. Hang in there and hope for an early spring. Ho! Ho! Ho!

    Sorry Santa, but I have trouble believing you can have any effect on the weather. If you can control the weather, how about helping me out here? I haven’t hit a golf ball since Thanksgiving.

    I’m sensing coal in your future, Michael. And I know where you live.

    Ho! Ho! Ho!

    Hang in there, Stetson. Hopefully 2010 brings you all the things on your list.

  • The Art of Reading Greens
  • I’ve heard reading greens referred to as a combination of art and science. I disagree.

    I think green reading is mostly art. Sure, it involves scientific principles from geometry and physics. But without instruments handy to take accurate measurements, we’re back to the art of guessing.

    How many degrees does the green slope? How much friction is present between the ball and the grass on fast greens? How many degrees right or left are you going to [...]
