Moderate Retirement Gifts For Golfers

By Owen Jones


There is a common belief that golf is the normal pastime-cum-sport of big shot entrepreneurs and businessmen. It is also perceived as being an elite sport and not accessible by regular blue collared employees. However, this is not the reality as modernization and commercialization have brought these so called elite sports into the reach of ordinary workers.

This is because there is no necessity to have sophisticated equipment to play a round, so, unlike big game fishing and polo which require very costly resources like a boat or a horse respectively, golfers only need a set of golf clubs, which are reasonably affordable. With this in mind, retirement gifts for golfers and would-be golfers can be easily dreamed up.

Making personalized retirement gifts for golfers is quite an easy task as you can easily personalize your golfing equipment with things such as home made golf club pouches, and caddy covers and ball cleaners. These can be knitted or made using any handicraft requiring other materials.

Another good idea is to think about golfing fashion by focusing on the apparel worn by golfers. You may even end up starting a new trend in golfing clothing by the use of your imagination regarding the design of the clothing for your retiree.

The most usual method of getting a retirement gift for golfers is to go to the local sports shop and get your retiree something they sell there. It may sound a little impersonal, but then this may prove really useful, if the retiree is still a novice golfer. Perhaps you could get a book on golfing, a subscription to a golfing magazine or a box of personalized golf balls.

However, you could try to discover what your retiree golfer still needs or perhaps even use your imagination to think about what methods you could employ to enhance the golfing equipment the retiree may already be using.

Commercially made golfing equipment is also a safe bet, if you want to make your retiree feel professional by buying him a famous-name set of golf clubs, thereby making him feel like a pro.

You could go to a joke shop and ask if they have any gags for the golfer there. They probably do, since golfing is such a popular game.

Gag gifts should be chosen very carefully since they could raise sensitive issues for the retiree, especially if he is a novice golfer. Gags as gifts in relation to golfing can be taken the wrong way and put someone off, if they are upset by the idea implied by the gag or joke you gave them.

As for veteran players who are already well adapted to the game and other golfers' sense of humour, the gift of a good gag on their retirement day would be quite funny as they would already see golfing not only as a way to relieve stress, but also to actually have some fun in a competitive environment.

Retirement gifts for golfers are just a simple way to make your golfer friend enjoy life after his career is over.
