Christmas Gift Ideas
The Ultimate Umbrella
It’s an umbrella, Jim, but not as we
know it. Anyone who’s been caught in the rain out on the links knows the power
of an outdoor shower – it can wreak havoc on your game, not to mention your
hair. A good quality, hi-tech golf umbrella is built to withstand lightning strikes
and winds of up to 72 mph (although here’s hoping you don’t have to test those
limits). A Golfing Experience 30th Anniverary unbrellas will be available throughout the year.
A Professional Towel Set
Yes, it’s a thing, and all the amateurs you’ve been using will fade into obscurity once you’ve tried the professional towel. These mini micro-fibre towels are super absorbent (to soak up all those bullets you sweat out there on the course lowering your handicap) and they’ve even got a discrete slash down the middle so they can hang off your irons. Fancy.
A Bunch of Bamboo
Bamboo tees, that is. We can never have enough tees and that’s a fact, and with all the concerns about the environment and renewable resources, eco-friendly bamboo ones are the responsible alternative to plastic and rubber. Available in packs of up to 1,000!
Bespoke Ball Markers
Nothing says ‘this is my ball marker’ more than one with your name on it. Genius. This is a cheap and cheerful gift that punches way above its weight when it comes to novelty and thoughtfulness, and they can be personalised with any name or wording you’d like.
A Chipping Net
For those times when you can’t get out on the green, a practice chipping net is perfect for the back garden or the hallway (if you’ve got a big house and a steady-nerved dog). Available in various target designs, they are entirely portable and pop-up and down. Keep your handicap low for your next weekend golf break!
Ball Retriever
Who doesn’t need a little help retrieving those runaway balls? This is a classic gift idea, but one that’s endured for a reason – it’s a very good idea. An invaluable part of a golfer’s kit is a high quality, retractable, stainless steel, telescopic ball retriever… and it’s as impressive to use as it is to say.
A Digital Swing Caddie
Oh, so you’re a serious golfer, are you? The digital swing caddie is one of the most useful hi-tech gadgets in terms of improving your technique. Just swing away and it displays analytics on your form, from smash factor to distance, speed and ball velocity. Come on, Santa, you know we need this…
Technique by the Book
There’s nothing like relaxing with a good book after a long day (weekend, week, month…) on the greens – as long as the book is about golf, of course. There are plenty of biographies and autobiographies on or by some of the true greats of the game, but some I highly recommend are:
- No Limits by Ian Poulter
- How I Play Golf by Tiger Woods
- A Life Well Played by Arnold Palmer
- Seve: The Autobiography by Severiano Ballesteros
