OH NO!!! I Want to Get a Golf Gift For...

By Evan Geldart

If you have a golfer on your "Christmas List" this year, you have a multitude of choices available for you. It doesn't matter if he is a pro who can drive that ball 300 yards down the field, or a mere beginner who doesn't know which end of the club to hold, there is something for everyone. With such a wide selection of golf gifts available, where is one to start? With such a sea of products, what golf gift should one choose? In this article we will help you navigate the stormy world of the golfing 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) Courses. Now that you are equipped with a ball and a club, you are going to need to have a place to use them. Many golfers have a specific golf course that they use on a regular basis, but long to give that other course a try. Why not surprise them with tickets for a round or two? For those who can afford it, why not surprise them with a golfing packing to a course in Florida or California? Four!

4) Golf Tournament Tickets - We all have heroes and mentors, and that includes golfers. Why not surprise him/her with tickets to see their favorite golfer in action? Golf professionals constantly tour the world entering golfing tournaments and displaying their abilities. This will certainly be a gift that they will remember and cherish for all time.

5) Golf Novelty Items - Everyone, including golfers, enjoys a good laugh now and then. It seems that the "gags" in the golf world are endless. Some are very subtle while others are outright hilarious.

These golf gift categories are just something to get you thinking. In our future articles we will be offering more specifics on particular gifts, and why we think they are just GREAT! If you can't wait, you can always visit our blog... :)
