Season is ending, but Christmas is coming!
As a thoroughly addicted Golfer in Canada. The first thing I do every morning this time of year is check the weather report. Hoping for just one more day that’s warm enough for a round of Golf. Of course with every passing day the chance gets slimmer. Instead I find myself scouring the internet for any interesting golf news, or products I haven’t read about yet. The good news is that Christmas isn’t too far away, and I’m sure to get a few golf related Christmas gifts. If you are wondering what you should be getting the golf enthusiast this Christmas. Here are a few ideas.
Top 8 Golf Gifts
1 – Rangefinder
This was my first Season playing with a Rangefinder, and I wonder how I was ever able to play without one. It makes such a huge difference in your golf game. If the Golf enthusiast on your Christmas list doesn’t have one. This could be their absolute favourite gift this year. The model pictured is one of the best values in Rangefinders.
2 – Golf Bag
Before you say anything about the fact that every Golfer you know already has a bag. Keep in mind that I have three. Bags can go through a lot of abuse so they do need to be replaced eventually. Also there are different bags for different situations. If the Golfer on your Christmas list only has one bag. There’s a good chance that they could benefit from having a light “Sunday bag” for taking a few clubs to the Range.
3 – Putting Mat
One of the things that keeps me sane during the winter months is my Putting Mat. It allows me to get a bit of a golf fix, and keeps my confidence up with the Putter. Sure you can use indoor simulators during winter, but they’ve never been realistic putting aids.
4 – Golf Balls
The one item that every Golfer can’t have enough of. I have a little over 5 dozen, and I’m always on the lookout for sales to get more. You can’t go wrong buying a couple dozen of the Golf balls that the Golfer on your list plays. You can be damn sure that they won’t go to waste.
5 – Wet Weather Golf clothing
The next time the Golfer on your Christmas list will actually be able to get out and play is next Spring. As soon as the temperature begins to rise they will be eager to hit the Range. Keep them warm and dry with some wet weather gear this Christmas. Trust me they will totally appreciate it.
6 – Home Golf Simulator
If only I had the space! Turn your unfinished basement, or garage in to a Golfers dream. If the price seems a bit daunting. Keep in mind that a properly set up Golf Simulator can double as a dedicated Home theatre as well. Something the whole family can enjoy, so why not. The one gift to rule them all.
7 – Golf accessories
There are so many little extras that even dedicated Golfers sometimes forget about. Tees, divot tools, head covers, alignment aids, and club towels all make for perfect gifts. My personal favourite one for this Christmas is the Frogger towel pictured. The perfect item to keep your clubs clean during a Round of Golf.
8 – Golf Grips
Something that many Golfers seem to forget about is changing their Grips. I’ve seen Grips on clubs that are practically falling apart they’re so old. The perfect time to regrip your Clubs is during the off season. So do the Golfer on your Christmas list a favour and pick up a brand new set of grips for them this Christmas. You might even improve their game as a result.
