Birthday present ideas!

[Stuey01]

Hi all,

My missus has just asked me the dreaded "what do you want for your birthday?" question.

I haven't a clue. My only hobby is golf. I have all the tech gadgets I want really, have no time for computer games anymore so a ps4 or Xbox one is out. I'm really stumped.

I don't really need anything for golf, at least I don't think I do. Just got new irons, putter, wedges, and rationalised down to one driver from many. I have a decent carry bag and cart bag, and a clicgear. Got 3 pairs of serviceable golf shoes and decent waterproofs.
The only things I can think of that I am interested in are a fitting for the 915 driver fairway and hybrid at Titleist fitting centre Celtic manor, but that will result in huge expenditure on clubs. Or maybe a laser range finder.

Anyone have any ideas that I may not have though of?

Cheers
Stu

Considered GAME Golf?

Short game or putting lesson (only you know if it would be beneficial to u or not )

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Just tell her to 'surprise me'.

 

[Smiffy]

An almost new set of Ping i25 irons at a massive saving on new.
She'd be happy. So would you.
So would I.

 

[patricks148]

a bucket load of Pro V1's

Nice pair of Oakleys for those low, into the sun drives off the early tee's

Never EVER let a non golfer choose a golf-themed present for you.

You will end up with golf ball finder glasses, a Dunlop gift set or a PGA scorecard holder.

Yes, I have all 3, and have now respectfully asked that no-one gets me anything golf related.

Regio3 - You missed off the 16 books of witty golfing quotes that aren't really that witty or stopped being witty by the 3rd book.

Lessons are always useful, a nice golf polo shirt (make and size to be provided to prevent horror buys), named brand golf balls. If you get a fitted driver voucher from your wife then blimey, she's a keeper.

Seems like all you need is a GPS or range finder of some sorts . . . go for that. I agree with region3 though. Maybe go with her when she buy's it . . . .

Winter gloves, its getting Icy

Smiffy: just got new mizzie mp64s so no dice, cheers anyway.

Doon: if I ask her to surprise me, she will, with nowt.

Lesson is not a bad idea, trouble is I'm forever buying blocks of lessons and then not having time to use them.

Might look into a lesson with Crossfield, that would be quite cool, and he's within reasonable driving distance of me.

 

[Dan2501]

Was going to suggest a lesson with Crossfield actually. Been dropping hints to the missus to get me one booked in as a graduation present. Fingers crossed!

 

[Stuey01]

I've got a garmin s1 watch already. So I don't actually NEED a range finder, but quite fancy a laser anyway.

I have, tbh I'm not that keen. I'll look into it a bit more.

 

[Stuey01]

Crossfield lesson looking most likely, just enquired about a "3hr performance assessment".

How much did they say it was going to be? That's exactly the sort of thing I'm after!

 

[seasidehacker]

This is such a great "first world problem".

 

[TaylormadePhil]

Why not have a night away at a golf/spa resort, you both win.

It is isn't it! Woe is me, I have everything I want boohoo.
