1407.0. "Christmas Wish List" by DPDMAI::VENEZIO (Does dry wine come from raisins) Mon Dec 23 1991 19:01

    Have you requested Santa bring anything special for you this year??
    
    I have asked for the David Leadbetter instructional book. I'm hoping my
    bride hasn't forgotten. She has seen me suffer this year and my
    handicap is back in the double digits (13 up from 8 last year). Surely
    she would not forget. She also offered to wrap up a few lessons this
    spring from the local pro.
    
    We'll see.

Indian summer weekends from now till the end of March.
1407.2 Can you say "Pings Santa"!FLYSQD::MONTVILLETue Dec 24 1991 11:3915
    
    
       Well, the "semi-annual" (birthday and Xmas) request went in once
    again.  All I want for Xmas is a full-set of Ping's.  I don't think
    it will happen again.....but one can sure hope!
    
    Second, I think my in-laws purchased some lessons for me...I sure
    need help with the short game.  I wish I could get the ball to
    "check-up".
    
    Happy holidays.... And remember, theres only 3 more first Fridays
    until were out there again.

1407.3"Metal is Wood?"NEMAIL::GLASSThu Dec 26 1991 17:2410
    After watching Nicklaus use a metal "wood", I announced my desire for
    one and got it.
    My wife bought me a 9.5 degree, pear shaped driver that feels great now
    and hopefully will allow me to hit longer drives.
    I won't play up here for sometime, but may get into South Carolina in
    one of my frequent trips!
    
    Happy New Year to all,

    Santa delivers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
     The only golf item I requested was a Ping 1-iron. My dear old mom
    came through and what a club it is !! Already hit several 220 plus
    rockets right down the middle !!! Why didn't I ask for the whole
    set ????????????????????????????

    Hey One Ton
    
    One Iron?  Sounds like you plan on lowering your handicap, or playing
    in the wind a lot.  I still think Trevino has it right about one
    irons..."Not even God can hit a one iron."
    
    Happy Holidays

1407.7Just what the Dr. orderedDPDMAI::VENEZIODoes dry wine come from raisinsTue Dec 31 1991 13:4511
    Well the wife didn't let me down. I asked for and got the Leadbetter
    instructional book. After a quick glance it looks alot like the Hogan
    book with a few swing changes. 
    
    Best gift was from my parents. A video camcorder. After I went out and
    purchased a tripod, it looks like a natural fit for the new book. I'll
    be spending some hours on the range trying to work on my swing. The
    plan is to work with the book, take a few lessons early in the year and
    video practice sessions for best results.

    One Ton
    
    That's exactly what Karsten into trouble.  All of a sudden guys like
    Calchevcchia ( Mr.Shank) are hitting one irons.  Prior to Ping, the
    only thing one irons were good for was holding up Tomato plants.
    
    Have a happy New Year

1407.10New wedge.BIGRED::DUANESend lawyers, guns & moneyThu Jan 02 1992 14:3710
    Santa brought me a new Wilson 1200TN "T" wedge. I think the  "T"
    means  "Third".  Anyway  it  is a little more lofted than my "S"
    wedge (after I saw the "T", I'm not sure anymore whether the "S"
    means  "Sand" or "Second"). Anyway, I'm hoping this will help my
    medium-short game; you know - the I'm-60-yards-from-the-pin,-now
    what-do-I-do  blues.  Outside  of about 85 yards or inside of 25
    yards, I'm fine, so now we'll see what happens as  soon  as  the
    South Texas monsoon aftermath dries up a little.
