Christmas Gift Ideas

For those of you that are looking for Christmas gifts for the golfers in your life, or if you just want to buy yourself some good golf related Christmas gifts, here are a few ideas.

I recently received an email newsletter (I get a lot of them 😀 ) from MyGolfSpy with some thoughts on golf related gifts, and they came up with some good products.
  1. Best Personal Launch Monitors

    COMMENT - I agree with their number 1 choice, I own a Rapsodo and I think it's the best bang for the buck on the low end price range.

  2. Best Indoor Putting Greens

    COMMENT - I've owned a BirdieBall mat in the past, and didn't care for it - I felt that it wasn't very durable. I own a Big Moss, and like it, and I have a Pro Putt Systems mat set up in my basement. Having said all of that, there's one excellent mat not mentioned that I used a lot when I was playing my best and it's probably less expensive than any mentioned here or in the link. It's the SKLZ Accelerator Pro Indoor Putting Green with Ball Return, $49.95 on Amazon.

  3. Best Hitting Nets

    COMMENT - I built one myself out of PVC and good netting, but all of the ones mentioned in the link look pretty good.

  4. Best Practice Mats

    COMMENT - I own a Rukker "rough" texture small mat that I use with my backyard artificial green for chipping practice, an they make a good product. Having said that, when I coached college golf I bought several mats from Real Feel Golf and I loved the quality of their products.

OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS

Before I make a few more recommendations, full disclosure. I bought and used all of these products and loved then so much that I became an affiliate with each of them. That means that I make a small percentage on each sale when you buy through any of these links. It's not much, but it does help with the expenses involved in broadcasting this free newsletter.

When I'm in the market for anything that can help me with my swing, it must fall into one of three categories:
  1. It must help me develop proper ball contact.
  2. It must help me develop a proper release.
  3. It must help me develop swing speed.
That's why I recommend the products below with total confidence. They have helped me in all three categories above, and as such have helped me maintain a low handicap even as I age.

Here they are:
  1. Proper Ball Contact:: The Divot Board will drastically improve your ball-striking.

  2. Proper Release: ImpactSnap.com Start using the ImpactSnap training aid indoors or outdoors to make you instantly aware of proper hand action, which is second only to low point awareness (proper ball contact) for great ball striking.

  3. Develop Swing Speed: I use both of these superior swing speed training aids depending on the training environment at the time. They both work for developing swing speed, you can't go wrong with either of them:
    • Click here SuperSpeedGolf.com to buy this swing speed training aid and increase your distance off the tee.

    • Click here Rypstick.com to buy now, and make sure that you enter TOMTUCKERGOLF (case sensitive) in the Discount code box when you check out to receive a 5% discount.

I pretty much guarantee that you'll love the results you get from any of these training aids.
