OH NO!!! I Need To Get A Golf Gift For...

By Evan Geldart

There is a wide array of gift ideas available for the golfer on your "Christmas List". No matter if he is a professional who can drive the ball 300 yards down the field, or a mere beginner who can barely get it off the tee, there is something for everyone. With such a wide assortment of gifts available where is one to start? What golf gift should you choose in such a sea of products? No worries, we are here to help you navigate the stormy waters of the golf galaxy...

Golf can be both a fascinating and frustrating game. You can make a fantastic shot one minute, and then spend the rest of the day chasing that little white ball from the sand trap to the rough to the water hazard. Yes, golf can be very frustrating, but it can also be a very exciting game where one well-placed shot can send your mind reeling on what "might be". Could you be a pro? Could you quit your day job and join the circuit? All you need is a little instruction and the proper tools, right? We will now delve into the categories available for golf instruction and equipment.

1) Equipment. People who know almost nothing about golf still realize that you need a ball, and then some sort of a clubbing device to hit it with. These are the basics, and beyond these there are a number of options and varieties available. These will depend on not only the quality of the equipment, but also the specific implement that you are going to need to get the job done. No use using that #3 wood on the putting green...

2) Golfing Instruction. Do you play guitar? It's been said that the guitar is one of the easiest instruments to play, and yet one of the hardest to master. The same can be said for the game of golf. Those who desire to master this game have a wide range of options available. The least expensive options are DVD's and books. For those who have a bit more money there is private instruction from a golf pro.

3) Golf Courses. Equipped with a ball and a club you are still going to need to have a place to use them. Many golfers are members of a specific club, so they tend to play most of their rounds of golf there...but they long to try their stuff on that other course nearby. Why not surprise them with a round or two of golf at this course? If you have a bit more money you could always get them a golf package to that fantastic course in Florida or California they are always talking about.

4) Golfing Tournament Tickets - Golfers are no exception when it comes to having heroes and mentors. Why not surprise that special golfer on your gift list with a ticket to see their favorite golfer in action? Golf pros are constantly visiting courses all over the world, trying their metal, and earning those dollars. Your golf friend could be in the crowd. They will remember your gift forever...

5) Novelty Gift Items - Laughing is the best medicine...or so the saying goes. Golfers, like the rest of us, can use a good belly laugh every now and then. Some of the golf novelty items out there are outright hilarious, while others are more subtle.

These are some of the areas of golf gift options available. In our subsequent articles we will hone in on specific gifts and highlight why we think they are great! If you can't wait, please visit our blog...
