Unique Golf Gifts For The Holiday Golfer

Article by Chris A Smith

If you have a golfer on your gift list, make this the year you give him or her an unique golf gift. Actually, it’s more a perfect golf gift than unique. Do you know what it is?

Ask any golfer what they would like as a gift for the holidays. They may come back with a dozen different answers but at the heart of it, they all want the same thing. The golfer who absolutely needs a new driver to cure his slice, wants the same thing as the golfer who needs to start making those three foot putts and believes he has to have a new putter.

What they both want is a better golf game.

There’s an old adage about amateur golf that says all bad shots can be blamed on the equipment. The logical follow up to that is the fastest way to improve your game is to buy new equipment. Now that’s great news for club manufacturers, but in reality, it does nothing for the golfer.

If your golfer friend has a bad swing, or doesn’t know the fundamentals, he or she is doomed to continue to play badly regardless of what piece of equipment you give them.

Do you know what would turn that around?

Lessons. Another old adage that I am personally way to familiar with is “When all else fails, read the instructions”. Most amateur golfers had never had a lesson. They picked up the club and tried to copy what they saw on TV or their buddy or on the range or whatever. The net result is that there are some really unique, if not effective, golf swings out there.

You could be their saving grace. You could be the person that finally allows them to win a bet or two. Your gift will not be forgotten.

So where do you get these golf lessons. Almost every golf course has a teaching pro or two. Typically you can get gift certificates and then let your golfer work out the time that suits him or her best. Lessons from a pro are the best way to go but they are pricey and will typically run to 0 an hour for individual lessons.

The alternative can work just as well if your golfer puts their mind to it. The internet is full of DVDs and e books that will effectively walk him through all the different swings and strategies. These products are significantly more affordable and are obviously more convenient.

So this holiday forget the new golf towel or 12 piece divot repair tool and give your golfer something that will make their game truly better. Give him lessons.

Make The Best Deal Of Golf Clubs

Golfers all need a whole set of golf equipment, which include golf drivers, golf balls, golf irons, golf putters, woods. When you are going to buy a set of golf clubs, how can you get the great prices on them? First you should find which one you want, and then get the deal.

So you should search online to find the one you want to buy, you can try out as many brands and styles as you can. There are many styles and prices that you can choose from, such as callaway x-22 irons, callaway ft i-brid irons, and titleist ap2 irons. You can try out them all. Then you continue refining your search until you’ve found the clubs you want. Make a note of the price and some detail of these you watched.

Then you’re ready to shop the internet, where you can find some the lowest prices on the best clubs. To compete with each other, and to muscle out their brick-and-mortar competition, online retailers have to sell their wares at rock bottom prices.

Plus they not only want to give you a good price, the lower operating overhead allows them to do so. For you, that can mean great deals on your golf clubs, as well as golf bags, balls, clothing, and anything else you need for your game.

Cyberspace Pirates

Be careful, the internet is a refuge for crooks and thieves hoping to take your money. The internet abounds with scam artists who set up fake auction ads or entire web sites with the sole purpose of stealing your hard-earned cash. Once you send it to them, you can kiss your money good-bye. If you see unbelievable prices on golf clubs, the old adage “too good to be true” probably holds.

Make a safe purchase

Once you’ve found the clubs you want at a fabulous price, for example, you want to buy the callaway ft i-brid irons, you should proceed with caution to make your purchase before you buy it. Never provide any personal information to someone over e-mail. Next, check out any retailer on the web before you purchase from them. See if they have a phone number and a real address. You can even go so far as to research on a comparison site like MySimon.com, or on the Better Business Bureau’s site.

Enjoy your golf purchase and enjoy your golf life, just make sure you get the right golf clubs for yourself!
