Has someone you love succumbed to the lure of golf travel this
year? Golf trips are among the most popular holiday travel, especially
those that take you to warmer, sunnier climes. If your favorite golfer
has booked a golf vacation this holiday season, why not add to the
festivities by giving him or her a golf-themed holiday gift? If you’re
not sure what to get that will be appreciated, here are a few
suggestions that will help add to the fun on golf trips and golf
vacations.
Golf Passes
Most
golfers plan their golf trips around the courses they want to play, but
they’ll usually have plenty more time to get in even more rounds on
other courses. Once you know their destination, check around for other
golf courses and clubs in the area, then check into the availability of a
golf pass. In Arizona, golf courses sometimes band together, for example, to offer a golf pass
that will grant entry onto the greens of any one of several major
courses. Golf passes are relatively inexpensive, and many also offer
discounts for playing as well as on items in the pro shop.
Golf Lessons
Help
your golfer hone his game before he sets off on his golf vacation with
lessons from a local golf pro. Phone up his favorite course to find out
the availability of lessons, or check online for other nearby courses
where you can schedule classes that concentrate on specific problem
areas. What better gift can you give a golfer than shaving a few points
off his handicap or helping him overcome that nasty slice?
Golf Equipment
He’s
got his favorite clubs, but every golfer has a few pieces of golf
equipment on his or her holiday list. If you’re not sure, you can ask
directly, or you can call up the pro shop and ask for recommendations
for a special golf gift. One possibility – a gift certificate to the pro
shop that includes a swing analysis to help them fit him with the very
best equipment for his own personal style.
Golf Balls and Other Stocking Stuffers
If the golf travel is taking your golfer overseas, one of the best gifts you can give him is a supply of golf balls. People who often take golf trips to Ireland, Scotland
and other popular golf travel destinations always recommend bringing
along extra balls – they’re expensive if you have to buy them while
you’re there.
Of course, if you’re looking for a really spectacular gift for your favorite golfer, you could go all out and book him or her a golf vacation
to his favorite dream destination. If he’s already beat you to it and
booked his own golf travel, however, you can get in on the fun with one
of these great holiday golf gifts.
