Choosing A Great Golf Gift

By Rita Wall

Whether it's a Christmas golf gift for a serious golfer or a fun prize for the family reunion or company tournament, picking out a golf gift that is truly appreciated takes a bit of planning. To adjust your gift to the golfer's skill level, here are a few tips you can follow.

Determining the skill level of the golfer who will be receiving the gift is the first thing you need to do. A seasoned veteran of the game with a 4 handicap will probably place little value in instruction books or training aids that a beginner may appreciate. Similarly, the occasional golfer may not know how to use the high degree wedge you put in his stocking.

Based on skill level, here are a few suggestions to consider.

For the beginner, a swing training video with some easy drills may provide an easy way to practice in the privacy of home or office. There's a variety of choices that professional trainers have produced.

A good idea for the occasional or immediate golfer is a hinged training club. I have found this type of device excellent not only for developing my swing, but something I reach for when my slice starts creeping back. It is designed for improvement, so it likely won't be resented as an insinuation that a swing needs improvement.

The experienced and low handicapper may be quite a challenge to please. Golfers appreciate having nice shirts and quality balls. But if you want to get something special, sneak out to the garage or try to gain access to his or her locker at the club, and take an inventory of every club that is in his or her bag. Based from your list, ask a pro from an online shop or golf shop on what to get this person. Golfers also appreciate trying new stuff, whether a new style of putter, high degree wedge, or maybe something new in hybrid technology. You can always return it if it's not used, still the golfer will appreciate the attention.

These ideas will likely be appreciated and it also comes with a personal touch. You can come up with a great idea for a Christmas golf gift if you apply logic and creativity, not to mention there are a lot of golf gifts ideas to choose from.
