What Gift Should You Buy Your Golfer This Year?

This holiday season you might be having a hard time deciding what to buy for the golfer in your life. We would like to help you out with a few suggestions that any golfer will absolutely love, along with a few tips on things to avoid buying.

So without further ado here is our list of top 5 gifts. It also includes 3 gifts that you should avoid like the plague (which for a golfer is the slice).

Top 5 Gifts:
1) Golf clubs - Every golfer adores their golf equipment and they are always looking for the next big thing that is going to improve their game. You will want to do a little reconnaissance work and see what they might be in the market for by simply asking, “What do you want to add to your golf bag?” Of course we can help you out on this item, and offer a 30 day money back guarantee in case they don’t like your choice for some reason.

2) Golf Balls - Next to clubs, this is one of the most popular items because it is a piece of equipment that you use every single round and every single shot. Of course some of us run out of them faster than others. If you want to surprise the person you are giving them to, check out their golf bag and see what they are playing. Otherwise I would recommending going with a nice box of Titleist Pro V1’s or NXT’s. They are the most popular ball in golf.

3) Golf Gift Cards - As you already know, us golfers love to play as much as we can, most of us are borderline addicted to the game (I am not borderline, I admit I have a full fledged golf addiction). So find out what course they like to play and purchase a gift card over the phone or online that they can use to play their favorite track whenever they get the chance.

4) Golf Accessories - As girly as it sounds, us golfers love to “accessorize.” We want to have a great looking bag to store all of our sweet gear in, a nice golf glove, some sharp golf shoes, a great looking towel to go on our bag, a nice hat to help us look like a pro on the course or a name brand golf umbrella to match our favorite clubs. You can’t go wrong with some well thought out golf accessories (again you might want to do a little work by looking at their bag to see what is needed).

5) Coming in at number 5 on our list is a golf magazine subscription - When we are not on the course you have probably observed us gazing off into space or making motions with our arms and hands. We have not gone crazy we are just visualizing and working on the things we need to improve for our next round. So that tells you that we think a lot about golf while we are off the course as well. A magazine subscription is great (I currently subscribe to Golf Digest, Golf Magazine, and Golfweek) or a book or video can be a great gift as well.

And now for the 3 gifts to avoid buying the golfer in your life:

1) Clothes that look like an outfit John Daly would wear. Yes they bring him a lot of attention and are made for TV, but most of us would not want to look like him on a Saturday morning round.

2) Anything you see on a golf infomercial. What is the last thing you saw that you wanted on an infomercial? Snuggie (yeah we didn’t think so)? The same applies to golf gadgets most golfers are not looking for anything that you can buy on TV after midnight.

3) Golf Lessons. First of all you may be insulting the person you are getting the gift for, not a good idea to give them the impression that their game stinks. Also it is best to let the golfer find a good pro to work with and someone they are comfortable with. If you already know who that is than it might be a good idea, but be careful about the message you are sending. It’s kind of like signing your wife up for Weight Watchers (probably not a good idea)
