Ideal Items for the Golfer's Man Cave

By Lance Martin


The man cave is defined as the last, real male sanctuary in the contemporary world. It isn't an actual hole in the side of a mountain. The term man cave is a metaphor for the last bastion of masculinity. The man cave is typically a garage, a basement or an extra bedroom that is left without an elegant feminine touch. Who needs that when you can have posters of scantily clad ladies, or perhaps the portrait of dogs playing poker?

Aside from posters of scantily clad ladies or the portrait of dogs playing poker, everything inside a man room has utility. There is very little stuff regarded as "decor." The television serves as entertainment. The video games are a mind challenge. The billiard table is a battle ground. And the electric guitar is a lingering symbol of fading rock star aspirations.

It is true that the man room was once a safe haven only the wealthy businessman could afford. However, in these cost-effective times, even the everyman can getaway into his man cave. The beauty of the man cave is the ability to personalize it to the things you like.

For a betting man, his man cave may be equipped with a pool table and a poker table. A sports fan may have a foosball table and a huge television to watch the game every weekend An avid golfer's cave may look something like this...

Every man room has a centerpiece. It's the object that ties the entire room together. These centerpieces include air hockey tables, pin ball machines, etc. It's the pride-and-joy of the man cave. For a golfer, a virtual golf simulator is the icon of the room.

Guys gather around for friendly competition with many of these centerpieces. Competitive golfers can take part in a number of contests with a golf simulator. One in particular may be the longest drive, a competition of who can hit the ball the farthest which appeals to a man's dimwitted, Neanderthal ego.

Nevertheless, a man cave should always carry an element of sophistication, like a great cigar, to counter the steady low-brow state of affairs. Contests can certainly be as sophisticated as an 18-hole round at some of the most refined and classy courses in the world, including St. Andrews and Augusta.

The man room also holds complementary items. A man will need other conquests to satisfy his self confidence. Perhaps alongside the pin-ball machine stands a Pac-man game, and beside the golf simulator may sit a practice putting green.

For a golfer, putting is a key factor to his golf game and should be relentlessly practiced, making a practice putting green an ideal piece to the man room puzzle. The routine of repeated putting can put an irritated man at ease, like slowly rocking a cradle to calm a crying baby. It's a distraction to help a golfer develop a more zen-like approach to his putting game.

In all, the valuables in a man cave shouldn't end as quickly as this short article. Since there is no sensible design or dogma to a man room, the refuge requires no theme or blueprint. As stated earlier, the man room is only obligated to the pleasures of its owner. The man cave is infinite.
