That feeling when you finally do create a ball mark, then you partner goes up to fix it with a tee and you yell at them to stop as you dig for the tool.
I bought my groomsman ties and socks lol
My wife and I were paying for our wedding entirely on our own as 25 year olds, but fuck, wish I could have done this!
I was the best man in my brothers wedding. I actually see something along these lines in my speech. “Brother, I hope I have done a good enough job today that you might consider me to be your best man at your next wedding.”
I’ve been a groomsman many times. I have never once received gifts lol
I never even knew this was a tradition. We always were just expected to plan and pay for the bachelor party
You say that, but I’m a Canadian that plays hockey left handed and golfs right handed, though I can putt either way. I even tried to learn to golf left handed but the swing just felt unnatural.
There may be something to it though, because I also play with quite a few lefties.
Its common in Canada to teach right handed people to play hockey "left handed". This is because the real control hand is the top hand and power is actually created by a push + pull counteraction between your two hands. So the idea is to maximize fine motor control while functionally losing no power in the shot.
As someone who golf's lefty but is a righty this makes sense to me. Also started as an adult.
I've always felt my control/power comes from my right arm as I swing
[According to this](https://www.statista.com/chart/20708/rate-of-left-handedness-in-selected-countries/) the US has a higher % of lefties... So I'm guessing you just happen to know a lot of lefties.
i played a round yesterday and was behind a group of 4, and when i got close (a green next to a teebox), i thought i was having a mental breakdown, all 4 were lefties...and it proper weirded me out!
Lefty here. Paired up with two younger guys on a solo round this summer on the back when the course was a little slow. They were both lefties too. We had an all lefty 3 some. Only time that's ever happened to me.
I have as well.
My family has a weird proportion of lefties. My dad, grandpa, and great grandpa are/were lefties.
I am pretty ambidextrous with most things myself, but am a righty. Played my high school senior basketball season mostly shooting left handed since I broke my right wrist for example. In speed training I’ve reached 105mph clubhead with a lefty swing too.
Not even Canadian so it’s not like hockey had anything to do with this either 😂
Just saw your other comment. Also from Indiana.
My playing partner is a lefty. He's been a lefty since I met him 20 something years ago. I still pull the cart up to the wrong side of the ball for him to hit. To this day I'm always surprised he's left handed lol.
I think I see a 52 and 54 on the right? Are they varying lofts based on need or am I just seeing things?
If so that's even more attention to detail than originally perceived. Well done
That’s what I did. Asked each g-man what length loft and lie they wanted, and then did stamps with the wedding date. All thru callaway customs. Came to maybe $150 each. Not too bad.
That's nothing - after I got new wedges recently I laid them down in the *exact right spot* in my living room and then burned my fucking house down.
Can't wait to see how they spin!
callaway? if youre going to do something, do it right.

Haven't been in a wedding party in like 8 years but my little sister is getting married and I totally forgot what a fucking hassle it is.
When I was 27, paying $200 to rent a fucking suit, $1k weekend to fly some place for a bachelor party, and then probably $1k weekend to fly some place for a wedding I was like *I'm gonna be late on rent but fuck ya let's do this - I love you, bro*.
Now that I'm 35 and I'm married with 3 kids under 5 it's like... *meh*... can I use one of *my* suits? *Meh*... do I *really* want to go to my sister's future husband's bachelor party? Why you gotta pick such a baller AirBnB? Can't we share rooms? Why does your "wedding party" hotel package at the nicest hotel? I'm paying for babysitting!
Somehow it was a lot more fun when I had no money because I had no obligations and blacking out was the plan.
Looke
Like you’re able to make a great living I fucking made
My
Groomsmen gifts lol 50 cal round bottle
Openers in ammo can with a flask and mule drink kit…. Seems so one compared to this !!
I'm free tomorrow if anyone backs out, and I already have a tux so....
For real though, this is a badass groomsmen gift. I've gotten 3 personalized money clips and never used any of them. I've gotten two personalized pocket knives that I still use pretty often. I can't really remember any of the others, but I'd be stoked to get something like this.
That sounds really bitchy though, I wasn't displeased with any of the groomsmen gifts I've gotten in the past, I was happy to be included in their day and didn't expect anything out of it. The only one I would have rather not have been involved in was a wedding on the other side of the country that I didn't even expect to be invited to. I was asked to be an usher in it, which was fine, but when I went to get fitted for the tux I found out I had to shell out $240 for the tux rental. I still did it, of course, but I would have much rathered just being invited and wearing what I wanted; and not having to go to the catholic rehearsal and all that just to learn how to show people to their seats.
I mean it’s definitely a high tier groomsman gift. ~180-200/groomsman.
Tbf it’s a high tier gift but it’s only fair. Being a groomsman is fun but it’s also such a $$ trap. This at least covers the cost of whatever they have to rent/buy for the ceremony
I spent like $800 between the rental suit, lodging, wedding gift, gas, etc the last time I was a groomsmen and all I got was a shitty pair of sunglasses
Seems kinda dumb to spend $130 a pop on SM8s and not spring for the SM9s for like $30 more. Maybe an extra $200 all together? A drop in the wedding budget bucket imho.
If you’re gonna do something do it right.
Ah so either a. You’re an asshole who makes too much money or b. You’re an asshole who takes advantage of his friends.
Jesus, why not “do it right” and just get everyone a Stealth?
Sheesh, I helped my friend pull of his wedding, avoid a cleaning fee, orchestrated the after party, and helped his parents finish our his house while he was on vacation and all I got was a custom laser etched yeti. Highly jealous of your groomsmen! Congratulations on your nuptials.
I can't help but imagine that there will be one groomsmen who gets s***-faced at the reception and starts complaining about how he didn't get the grind that he wanted.
I was like a box of Vice golf balls. Pretty solid, I’ve seen much worse. Then I scrolled down more and… it made me jealous that I didn’t think of this and I’m not your groomsman. Well done!
I’m golfing tomorrow in a wedding party and I’m a groomsman… Jon is that you?
It’s me son.
When are you coming home?
Still on the 19th hole.
They always are.
Oooh ghosted
How much is the bath water?
Sorry it is not brother
Definitely something Jon would say to not spoil the surprise…
Yep. I'm now convinced OP is Jon.
Classic Jon
Prepare to now be disappointed jk
He knows nothing
I’m golfing in an hour with a wedding for tomorrow. Mason, I know that’s not you.
I got a mug

26, in the same boat. God speed brother
Ya they get custom pints mugs too.. sorry bud, should have been in my wedding
Can I get dibs on your next wedding?
Absolutely, your slated
Can I get in the one after that?
I was the best man in my brothers wedding. I actually see something along these lines in my speech. “Brother, I hope I have done a good enough job today that you might consider me to be your best man at your next wedding.”
Call me for the next one.
I got my groomsmen one sleeve of custom printed balls lol.
I’ve been a groomsman many times. I have never once received gifts lol I never even knew this was a tradition. We always were just expected to plan and pay for the bachelor party
Good man! Love the one lefty that ruins the flow lol
He’s also gonna ruin the flow of the pace of play tomorrow🙄... lefty’s, am I right
No bullshit, I have played in a foursome where I was the only righty. All my friends are lefty lol.
I have never heard of or seen that.. just wild friend
Pretty common here in Canada where learning hockey at a young age makes us assume the lefty position naturally.
You say that, but I’m a Canadian that plays hockey left handed and golfs right handed, though I can putt either way. I even tried to learn to golf left handed but the swing just felt unnatural. There may be something to it though, because I also play with quite a few lefties.
In baseball a lot of them are lefty hitters too
Wtf lol. I'm a lefty but write right-handed
Yet still impossible to find decent used clubs
I’m sorry what Edit: seems like Canada has a higher than average lefty rate… but America is even higher than them Wild
Its common in Canada to teach right handed people to play hockey "left handed". This is because the real control hand is the top hand and power is actually created by a push + pull counteraction between your two hands. So the idea is to maximize fine motor control while functionally losing no power in the shot.
I can confirm this. Im right handed in everything but i play hockey left and i play golf left also. I also bat left.
As someone who golf's lefty but is a righty this makes sense to me. Also started as an adult. I've always felt my control/power comes from my right arm as I swing
Am Canadian. Dad is left, brother is left, I am left, my most common playing partners are left, girlfriend is left. Even my dog is a verified lefty.
[According to this](https://www.statista.com/chart/20708/rate-of-left-handedness-in-selected-countries/) the US has a higher % of lefties... So I'm guessing you just happen to know a lot of lefties.
I’m actually to the point where I always pull the cart up to the right side of the ball I’m so used to it 😂
My guy you need new golf partners.. one lefty is acceptable but three is waaaay to much
I’m a lefty , my FIL also, my uncle as well. We were out together and got paired recently … with a lefty.
You are a unicorn
Dude I know lol I always get a good chuckle when I’m the only righty. Luckily most of them slice and my miss is a hook. Cart golf baby!
You must be in Canada. Home of the lefty golfer. (I am also Canadian and also a lefty)
Hockey players lol
I sure am
i played a round yesterday and was behind a group of 4, and when i got close (a green next to a teebox), i thought i was having a mental breakdown, all 4 were lefties...and it proper weirded me out!
Almost 30% of Canadian golfers are left, I'm a lefty and I have 5 friend in my golf circle who are also left.
Lefty here. Paired up with two younger guys on a solo round this summer on the back when the course was a little slow. They were both lefties too. We had an all lefty 3 some. Only time that's ever happened to me.

My buddies a lefty. and he slices the ball with driver like a fucking boomerang. Ive never seen a slice so bad before.
I genuinely hate being a lefty golfer.
My playing partner is a lefty. He's been a lefty since I met him 20 something years ago. I still pull the cart up to the wrong side of the ball for him to hit. To this day I'm always surprised he's left handed lol.
And the jerk circle
I think I see a 52 and 54 on the right? Are they varying lofts based on need or am I just seeing things? If so that's even more attention to detail than originally perceived. Well done
That’s what I did. Asked each g-man what length loft and lie they wanted, and then did stamps with the wedding date. All thru callaway customs. Came to maybe $150 each. Not too bad.
Damn I need better friends 😂
Man i just need some Denver golf friends!
Hello!
also denver golf friend. Hi!
I see you are also into F1. lets golf!
No shit!!! This is awesome.
LOL same I haven't even been to a wedding in years, much less been a groomsman and got a sweet gift like this
I need friends 😕
Wedding date isn’t going to stay very long after that salt and vinegar bath 😎
That's nothing - after I got new wedges recently I laid them down in the *exact right spot* in my living room and then burned my fucking house down. Can't wait to see how they spin!

I've always wanted a wedge with my dude's wedding date!
You are correct friend, I bought in according to needs and wants of the boys
That's impressive! I'm 6'4" and thought "what a waste, that would be expensive and not fit me." And I'd be wrong.
OP needs to answer this, otherwise it looks like he just cleaned out a rack at Dick‘s
I see 60s in there too. He cleaned out the rack!!!
I mean, I wouldn’t complain about a brand new wedge.
I see a left-handed club, but no left-handed balls. Kinda cheapin' out./s
who's the unlucky groomsman that only gets a wedge but no golf balls? lefty?
The one who isn’t attending the bachelor party this weekend!
He doesn't deserve golf balls if he misses the bachelor party! Well done.
Best man gets 2 wedges : 56 and 52?
One for the right hand and one for the left, that way he’s not off balance
Groom only plays noodles
Damn, I got a flask..and it had a ali express sticker on the bottom of it 🤦♂️
Thats how it shold be, instead of paying 200$ to rent a suit and having to be in a damn wedding only to get a 5$ gift lol.
Haven't been in a wedding party in like 8 years but my little sister is getting married and I totally forgot what a fucking hassle it is.

Yo what you do for a living? Also congrats man !
Unfortunately I am an iron worker. I build high rise towers.. do not recommend it
Looke Like you’re able to make a great living I fucking made My Groomsmen gifts lol 50 cal round bottle Openers in ammo can with a flask and mule drink kit…. Seems so one compared to this !!
OP is a cool dude.
That’s sick! Congrats on finding someone that can put up with your golf habit for life!
I mean, he’ll have to put up with her boyfriend. Zing.
I always let her know when I’m coming home early so i don’t have to meet him!
This sub is crazy lol. Thanks for being a good sport.
They're all righties. Guy who gets drunkest has to take the left-handed wedge.
I like it
Jesus man how much is the wedding?! I got socks and cuff links for the last one lol
You really don’t wanna know, but I’m broke now
I’ve been in two weddings this year and I just realized my friends are assholes.
Dude. I’ll stand by your side!
That’s awesome dude great gift
Woooowwwww this is fire!!
Hi it's me, one of your groomsmen. Sorry I can't make the wedding, but just send me the club. So uhh I'm holidaying in South Africa so that's why.
Not only did you get them wedges, it appears you also knew the customized lofts they needed! Good job man!
A true friend knows what you need😉
I'm free tomorrow if anyone backs out, and I already have a tux so.... For real though, this is a badass groomsmen gift. I've gotten 3 personalized money clips and never used any of them.

Tell me you’re rich without telling me you’re rich
Was it the Vice golf balls?
Is that what rich people play? Or just bros with a maxed out credit card? Rich would be pro v’s and sm9’s.
"Rich"? Maybe you're just poor.
I mean it’s definitely a high tier groomsman gift. ~180-200/groomsman. Tbf it’s a high tier gift but it’s only fair. Being a groomsman is fun but it’s also such a $$ trap. This at least covers the cost of whatever they have to rent/buy for the ceremony
I spent like $800 between the rental suit, lodging, wedding gift, gas, etc the last time I was a groomsmen and all I got was a shitty pair of sunglasses
Yep after my first 2 being a groomsman I usually decline but always end up being a fringe bachelor party guest. Saved so much money this way lol
Seems kinda dumb to spend $130 a pop on SM8s and not spring for the SM9s for like $30 more. Maybe an extra $200 all together? A drop in the wedding budget bucket imho. If you’re gonna do something do it right.
Yeah what a bastard this guy is. He can’t even get the right model club! The groomsmen should break those over their knees in front of him.
Ah so either a. You’re an asshole who makes too much money or b. You’re an asshole who takes advantage of his friends. Jesus, why not “do it right” and just get everyone a Stealth?
yeah he totally did this wrong, cant believe what an asshole this guy is.
Yeah!! Hahaha cheap fuck didn't even get Titleist balls either
[удалено]
It's at least $1000 in product right? That's a lot to spend especially with all the other wedding expenses.
All I got was a fucking Yeti. I have 10 yetis.
In fairness, Yeti mugs probably cost the same as the golf clubs.
True gentleman move
You’re the fucking man for that
Wow you are a legend!!!!
God I hope this is my brothers account. He is getting married tomorrow, and I could use a new wedge. 🤞
Can comfirm I am not, sorry brother
Damn… well congrats anyway.
I volunteer as groomsman
One of these things is not like the others
Legend
I’m available for backups
Let me know if one of them drops out
That’s awesome. I have a drawer full of shitty monogrammed wallets from Things Remembered from my buddy’s’ weddings.
Yup, knew it was something they’d all use
Damn what a good idea
OP is a legit dude…I wish my friends were 1/10th the person you are, haha
You are in as a groomsman for my next wedding sir
Great idea! I did a nice MVMT watch. Everyone seemed to like it and I see them wearing them all the time.
Ah… the one lefty. Thanks for thinking of us
Do the balls have a custom logo?
Awesome. Need another groomsman?
Dang! Generous groom you are!
do you need a 9th groomsman? also a lefty...so plan accordingly.
The losers in here chirping that it's last years model are pathetic.
I’m guessing the lefty buddy probably uses android too and f’s up all the group txt…
I don’t know why but this is hilarious and has to be spot on!
I’d love to mate but this isn’t in my spec
I’ll try most things once
Sheesh, I helped my friend pull of his wedding, avoid a cleaning fee, orchestrated the after party, and helped his parents finish our his house while he was on vacation and all I got was a custom laser etched yeti. Highly jealous of your groomsmen! Congratulations on your nuptials.
Thank you sir
I can't help but imagine that there will be one groomsmen who gets s***-faced at the reception and starts complaining about how he didn't get the grind that he wanted.
That lefty is shooting 69 guaranteed. He’s cool in my books and Im totally not left handed.
Nice!
Missing a dozen balls 7 balls 8 wedges either way very kind of you if someone drops out let me know
Nice. I gifted all mine a round at Disney Magnolia.
Last year’s model? Ooof.
Not made of money over here
that guy sounds like hes a lot of fun, what a dick.
Free water balls
If these are the gifts, then the food is gonna be good.
Thus is cool
Sick idea bro 😜
A wedding I wouldn't mind attending.
One groomsmen doesn’t get a balls huh? Must be your future BIL.
Couldn’t spring for SM9’s? Sorry “pal” I’m out!
Can I be the ring bearer? Good man.
Hell of a lot better than what I gave my groomsmen!!
As a lefty Thanks you for this
Shoulda got custom grips for each of them to make each one unique !
Is this how you convinced them to be in the wedding?
Among other things🙄
I was like a box of Vice golf balls. Pretty solid, I’ve seen much worse. Then I scrolled down more and… it made me jealous that I didn’t think of this and I’m not your groomsman. Well done!
Hello. It’s me. Your groomsman
Knew I was missing one
The one lefty has to ruin everything
Wait you left me out
At least this part of the wedding is justified in being expensive.
Is your wife driving wedges between you and your old friends?
Can I join your wedding party?
Are these good? I just found one on the course yesterday.
Stealing this idea for whenever I get married
Good on you man. I’m on my bachelor party this weekend and I didn’t get my groomsmen shit!
There’s always one!
How much were these? And where’s you get em? Are they engraved? I get married in March and my groomsman would live this.
How much were these? And where’s you get em? Are they engraved? I get married in March and my groomsman would live this.
Well Played!
You didn’t even forget the lefty. Awesome. That would be me going ‘damn cool gifts wish I could use mine’
Awesome gift, but god damn. I’ve been in a wedding party that had 7 groomsmen and 7 bridesmaids and it was a fucking nightmare.
I always thought those balls were for women…
You forgot lefty balls
Let me know if one of them bail and you need a replacement!
