So now is the time that family- parents, brother, in-laws, etc all start asking what I want for Christmas.   It's easy to default to loading up the golf ball inventory but what other reasonably priced ideas do you guys have in mind this year?

[citizensdiscount]

you can never go wrong with a few dozen balls to start the year off right or a new pair of kicks

Happy Holidays

[tommyrobson]

Nothing much in terms of clubs.

A new bag
New gloves
new shoes
continued support from my parents.
thats about it

[freddyottawa]

I never ask for clubs, way too much could go wrong there. Giftcards usually work best for me, then I can get what I would like.

[SlowMotion]

I already picked up several dozen golf balls On Black Friday.

Christmas Wishlist:
New bag
Set of Irons
Golf gloves
Golfsmith or Dick's gift cards
A wife that doesn't mind me playing weekly

[monty09]

I say golf stuff and let their minds run free. I don't expect a gift I can use on the course but looking for a good laugh.

[Yepyukon]

I usually ask for the small stuff.  New spikes for my shoes, golf gloves, maybe balls, hat or specific head cover.

[Colby327]

I'll usually ask for specific shoes and clothes.   My advice is to give exact sizes, brands, & models,  so know what you're getting will fit.   Saves you your own money for green fees next season.

Spikes, awesome idea.   Keep 'em coming.

[zack175]

-blueboard 83x with vr pro LE 5 wood head from my brother

-black and red players towel from my sister along with 2 dozen tp5 golf balls

-new J36 combo irons with PX flighted 6.0 from my grandparents, I have those shafts in my x forged now and I love them

-new AD DI 8x with VR pro LE 3 wood head from my parents

-new Bridgestone staff bag from my parents

-Oban Devotion X shaft from my parents

-callaway x utility 18* from my parents

-parents just got me a back up driver exactly like my gamer for my birthday Razr Fit 9.5* with AD DI 7x last week

I just ask for a gift card to GolfTown. If you have to buy me something....

Gloves (RBZ Left Med Cadet) or Balls (ProV1 or Hex Black). I like the gift card because I just save them.

There's really nothing else that's relatively inexpensive that I want. I have towels, tees, markers, etc...

I do like the idea for cleats.

One idea you might want to ask for:

A membership to GolfWRX: ClubWRX

It is $35 a year and you get some cool stuff/discounts from joining.

[Freddie P]

Slowmotion....

A wife that..........

That sounds like a Lottery Jackpot to me...

[keatonec]

I would like to get a couple of gift cards to golf town.

I need though new irons, some more balls and spikes for my cleats.

Irons would be a great Christmas present to myself!

[teeitlow]

No golf stuff for me, usually a couple of bars and chains for my saws. Christmas mainly revolves our kids and they don't seem to be interested in anything golf related this year.
I would love me some S3 Pro's though!

Damn...

[Air Jordan]

I'm getting this bag (Go Jackets!), gloves, balls, and shoes. Maybe a few more things as I get ideas from this thread.

JP is looking for the perfect long sleeve polo shirt, sort of a base layer thickness. It has been really hard to find the one that showcases Jack Pearsall's physique such that the cart girl will give JP a free Snickers bar.
So far -- no freebies for Jack.

[coreythelefty]

Anytime it comes to family getting me golf gifts. I just asked for the small stuff.

Golf Balls
Tees
Golf Glove
Hat
New Belt

[Carolina Golfer 2]

My better half, doesn't like buying me golf stuff, she knows it is very particular to the player and she wouldn't want to guess.  Although I told her take a guess on any $400 driver and I'll not be disappointed...just remember to get a gift receipt

Seriously, she will get me a polo or two as she knows I like the Cutter & Buck and Addias Clima-Lites and she knows my size.

But mostly she gets me non golf items, and that's just as well.  I don't need her browsing around the store and seeing the prices of equipment

Agreed.

I'm asking for a spring golf trip with my buddies. With a 2 and a 4 year old at home, leaving the family for 4 days or so to golf with my friends is not as easy on everyone as it was 5 years ago.

#1 is a "wife that doesn't mind me playing weekly"

If you have that then all the rest of the stuff falls into place.
My wife doesn't mind me playing, knows only I can buy my golf stuff, and doesn't complain when I play or buy my more golf stuff. That is the best present any married person can receive.

anyway i dont really tell people what i want in my family, because no one every asks and frankly doesn't care. Way back when i turned 16 a family member bought me a snickers bar for my birthday. After that and many other things  i basically understood that my family was full of cheap skates. Maybe it worked out for the better, because im actually very thankful to spend time with friends and family (well some of them) during the holiday, and go to church service on xmas eve. Basically at 21 ive learned that a good christmas is one that im able to spend with my grandparents and the other part of the family isnt in constant argument. But if anyone asked id guess id like a ball retriever, could save me a ton of money.

My parents got me a $99 Odyssey putter once for my birthday(December baby) with I turned 15...

[Sean2]

I'd like a gift card.

[Puppetmaster]

I don't want anything golf related because I wouldn't be able to enjoy it until March. I'd rather just buy any "new" items then, if not I'll be walking around the house torturing myself with a brand new driver/fw/wedge/iron/putter and likely take out a lamp or piece of furniture by accident. Okay, maybe not with a putter.
