Modest Retirement Gifts For Golfers

By Owen Jones


There is a commonly-held notion that golf is a pastime and sport of big shot entrepreneurs and businessmen. It also has the reputation of being an exclusive, elite sport that is not accessible to regular blue collared employees. However, this is not really the case as modernization and commercialization have brought this so called elite sport into the reach of the common worker.

This is because you don't need to pay for sophisticated equipment to join in. Unlike big game fishing or polo which need a lot of resources - a boat and a horse respectively - golfers just require a set of golf clubs, which are reasonably affordable these days. Bearing this in mind, retirement gifts for golfers and aspiring golfers are more pretty thought of.

Personally made retirement gifts to personalize golfing equipment is very easy as you could easily make it personal by embroidering such items as golf club pouches or caddy covers. These can be knitted, if you are into knitting or by any similar craft which may require other materials.

Another idea is to tap into the fashion aspect of golfing which means to focus on the things worn by a golfer. You may even set a new trend in golfing apparel using a lively imagination and an interesting clothing design for your retiree.

Common gifts. The most usual method of acquiring a retirement gift for golfers is to go to the closest sports shop and get your retiree something sold there. It may sound a little impersonal to give the retiree a commercially made gift, but then this may actually be very useful, if the retiree is still a novice golfer - you might want to get him a set of golf clubs since it is the basic requirement to be able to play golf.

Moreover, you may find some more accessories there that your retiree golfer still needs, but then perhaps you could also contribute your imagination to think about what things can be made to enhance the golfing equipment he may already have.

Commercially made golfing equipment is also a good idea, if you want to make your retiree feel good by giving him a famous set of clubs, making him look like a pro.

Gags and Jokes The amusing part of deciding to give a gag gift, instead of the traditional gift, is the humour these items can invest. It also adds to the brighter aspect of the golf-playing retiree's party and his friends will be able to take part in with smiles, laughs and jokey comments as well.

The joke gift should be bought quite carefully as the gag gift may represent a sensitive matter for the retiree, especially if he is still a newbie player. Joke present in relation to golfing might be taken negatively and discourage or at least hinder their learning and progress as they are disturbed by the idea emphasized by the gag gift given to them.

However, to veteran players who already know the game inside out, the gift of a good joke gift on their retirement day would be very funny as they would already see golfing not only as a way to relieve their stress and get some exercise but to actually just have a laugh as well.

It's a good idea to see retirement presents for golfers as just a simple way to make your golfing friend see the funny side of life after his career is over.
