Golf Gifts are great
to buy as they come
in such a wide range
of different sorts
and hugely different
price categories
so you can be fairly
sure that there will
be something there
that fits your budget
that a golfer is going
to love!
Now
obviously golf clubs
are not cheap, anyone
really into their
golf is already likely
to have a set of golf
clubs that they play
with, now if you are
feeling VERY generous
you may want to buy
them a new set of
golf clubs. For this
option though you
are most likely going
to need some input
from the person you
are buying the golf
gift for, you want
to make sure you get
the right set of golf
clubs that will suit
them. Golf clubs can
range from a hundred
pounds right up into
the thousands, all
depending on which
ones you are buying.
Now the next step
down from buying a
full set of golf clubs
is buying a new single
club, this is likely
to be either a putter
or a new driver. Again,
input from the person
you are buying for
is going to help,
if you don't have
this luxury and you
want it to be a surprise
you could buy a club
but let the shop know
that if it's not right
would an exchange
be OK, the chances
are this will be OK
with them. You could
get a voucher up to
a specific value as
another option so
they can choose their
own (although many
people don't like
just giving vouchers
as a present).
Another gift that
is more on the higher
price bracket is a
golf trolley, or more
specifically an electric
golf trolley. What
these do is mean that
the golfer no longer
has to push or drag
their heavy trolley
and golf clubs around
with them, the trolley
will do the hard work
for you. Designed
so that they won't
run away from you
the electric golf
trolley gives the
golfer an easier round
where all their energy
can be used on the
next shot as opposed
to having to use it
on pulling the golf
trolley. Electric
golf trolleys start
from around £80
up to a few hundred
depending on which
trolley you go for
and how much power
the rechargeable battery
will supply. The rechargeable
batteries will usually
be OK for a couple
of rounds before they
need to be recharged
again which is really
simple to do, the
battery disconnects
from the golf trolley
and just needs to
be plugged into the
mains to charge again.
The great thing about
electric golf trolleys
is also that if you
forget to charge the
battery and it runs
out during a round
then the golf cart
can still be used
in the same way as
a conventional golf
trolley and be used
manually.
More middle of the
(golf) range ideas
are golf clothing,
such as golf tops,
golf jumpers, golf
shoes and water proofs.
These golfing gifts
are not too difficult
to buy, there is a
huge selection of
choice in styles so
as long as you have
an idea what the golfer
you are buying for
likes to dress like
then you should be
able to make an informed
decision. Golf shoes
can be bought although
some people may need
to try them on before
definitely having
them just to see how
they feel, different
manufacturers sometimes
make ever so slight
differences in sizes
so this may be a slight
issue although not
too much.
While we are still
on about practical
golf gift ideas that
a golfer needs to
play golf, at the
other end of the scale
is the likes of gold
balls, score card
holders, golf balls,
golf gloves, towels,
, pitch markers and
repairers. These can
all be bought really
easily and don't require
too much help for
buying them, you simply
need to check the
golfers bag if you
are really stuck and
you want to buy the
exact same golf balls
or replacement golf
glove although to
the average golfer
this level of detail
may not be required.
Many golfers only
tend to only play
at the course they
are a member of or
the closest golf course
to them, with variety
being the spice of
life why not treat
them to a round at
another golf course,
maybe a slight more
exclusive golf course
that they would not
usually go to play
at. You can even buy
2-Fore-1
golf vouchers
that let 2 golfers
play for the price
of 1 at around 1,000
golf courses across
the UK & Ireland.
There is also the
opportunity to take
a golf break, where
you can have a couple
of rounds of golf
and also a night at
a nice hotel. There
is a number of hotels
that have their own
golf courses attached
to them which makes
them ideal for a nice
golfing break away.
If you are taking
your otehr harlf who
is not interested
in golf then many
of the hotels also
have health
spas.
Now with all the
practical golf gift
ideas done we can
move onto the more
imaginative golfing
gifts that should
give every golfer
a smile when they
receive them, allot
of the following are
more day-to-day golf
related items that
reminds the golfer
of their favorite
sport (well, unless
they are not playing
too well in which
case these gifts may
be the last reminder
they want of the game
of golf...)!
We
love personalised
gifts,
there is just so much
value added to an
ordinary gift simply
by personalising it
and making it a one
off, anything from
mugs to calendars.
We do have a page
dedicated to personalised
golf gifts
to look at but in
brief here are a few
of the possibilities
here.
Personalised
golf calendars &
personalised golf
mugs simply take golfing
images that are then
seamlessly manipulated
so that they look
like your name was
actually there when
the picture was taken.
The following are
2 examples, one is
of a golf mug and
the other of a golf
calendar!
