Golf Gifts


46170.jpeg(NC)-Whether it’s a hint of argyle on a sweater, or a golf-inspired checked skirt, golf has a visible influence on current fashion trends. The sport is synonymous with a tailored, crisp look - a result of the dress codes in operation at courses around the world.

Golf apparel designers are now adding function to fashion by creating golf wear designed with a double duty in mind. The result: styles that perform equally well on or off the course.

Over the years, many golfers have become known for more than their aptitude at the game - from the unmistakable style of Ian Poulter and the late Payne Stewart to fashionable golf legend Annika Sorenstam, golfers are expressing themselves with fashion both on and off the course. Many professional golfers even have their own clothing lines.

“Quality golf wear and accessories are a worthwhile investment for every golfer, as the level of quality and style will work just as well in day-to-day life as they do on the course,” says Chris Walling, director of marketing for Callaway Golf Canada.

However, as the mercury drops, golf apparel need not be placed in the back of the closet.

“We have found that people want to wear golf-inspired clothing and accessories year-round, whether it be sweaters and pants, or specific golf watches and laptop bags,” continued Walling. “In today’s busy lives we are seeing a trend towards cross-functionality,” he added. “For instance, we recently introduced sunglasses that not only cut down the sun’s glare to help your eyes follow your ball flight on the course, but also decrease the blinding brightness experienced on sunny winter days.”

If you have an avid golfer in your life, holidays and birthdays may be a hassle for you.  You might not have any ideas of what to purchase as that special gift, particularly if you are not a golfer yourself.  Here are some popular gift ideas that are sure to make any golfer smile on their special day.

If your golfer is in the need of organizational help to keep his tees and other golf accessories all in one place, consider getting him an organizer for his car.  Designed for maximum portability, they offer plenty of space for everything from his shoes to his tees to his gloves to his balls.  No more fishing around the trunk for balls that have rolled out of the bag or loose tees that always get lost.  If your golfer does not travel much, consider getting a dresser organizer with a golf theme.  That way he always has a place to store his keys, club ID, and other golf essentials that might still be in his pockets when he gets home.

If Dad has a problem getting up in the morning after a late night golf session, (or a hard time going to bed after that winning game) consider getting him a pair of golf slippers to keep his feet toasty while he is putting around the house.  They are soft and cushy, perfect for those cold mornings at home while he is waiting for the course to dry.  They even have skid proof “cleats” on the bottom so you do not have to worry about slipping.  Since they come in both black and brown, you can also be sure that they coordinate his favorite pajama bottoms as well – no need for him to clash before he heads out for the course!  You can pair these with a golf themed coffee mug to help him get his caffeine buzz before heading out the door.

If you know a golf ball collector, consider getting a display case so that they can proudly show off their balls.  You can get a very artistic one shaped like a putting green.  The balls are held in place by actual golf tees!  A dark green velvet background and cherry stained wood finish it off.  You could also go with a more traditionally shaped case designed to hang on the wall.  Or another option for smaller spaces is a revolving case that can be placed on a desk or end table.  With multiple sides, this allows several balls to be seen with just a simple turn.  These will be something that they will be proud to display at home or office so that they can share the stories behind each ball.

If your golfer has every been accused of altering the score or just plain does not like the math involved with golf, consider getting them an electric score counter.  These little gadgets are designed to clip right to the golf bag for easy carrying.  With a few simple presses of the button, it will keep track of the score for each hole, as well as a running total overall.  No more adjusting the score!  This can also be used to track putts as well when they are at practice

If your golfer is also a gadget geek, then there are plenty of gift options available for you.  One to consider is a gadget that helps find the heaviest areas along the equator of the golf ball.  This area is the seam.  With a special pen, you can mark the equator of the ball, and then use that line to align your shots.  Supposedly, this will help give you better accuracy with your putts.  Plus, it is just the perfect gadget for your golfing geek.

No matter what type of golfer you have around your home, there are plenty of gift ideas out there.  These are just a few of the more popular and fun ones.  If you do not see the perfect gift idea here for your golfer, consider visiting your local sports store or golf specialty shop for more ideas.  When all else fails, a gift certificate to their favorite green or store is always a great last minute idea.  Have fun and happy shopping!
