There are many ways to show appreciation or love for friends, relatives and coworkers.  One of the main ways to show this appreciation is through the giving of a gift, particular to what the receiver is fond of.  There are many great gift ideas for the golfer in your life, some of which are universal to any golfer and some that are particular in nature.

Arguably the best golf gifts that one can give are the fundamentals; golf clubs, golf balls and golf tees.  Golf tees are for the most part universal and it does not matter what you buy.  However, be sure to check with the person you are buying for before purchasing golf clubs and possibly even golf balls.  If the golfer in question is a serious player who plays often and is particular about the brand he/she plays, you definitely do not want to buy a set of Nike clubs when their favorite is Taylor Made!

Once you have figured out which brand to purchase there are many choices as each major manufacturer always has a new brand of club.  For example, Callaway recently released the FT-iQ driver, which claims to be made of the same material as Stealth Bombers and Formula 1 race cars, and will be the most accurate driver you ever played with.  Each manufacturer has some version of the latest technology which they guarantee will improve your golf game.

There are some other unique golf items that you can give as a gift, depending on how much you want to spend.  At one extreme end, stewartgolfusa.com is offering an electric caddie that is remote controllable from 50 yards away for $1,995.  On the other extreme you can purchase a weatherproof glove to wear on your hand for $10 from various locations. This product claims to give you good grip whether your glove is wet from rain or sweat.  Finally, there is also a “Polara Self-Correcting Ball”, which is not legal in tournaments because it claims to reduce slices and hooks by up to 50%!

Other good golf gift ideas are free rounds of golf, weekend golf trips and gift certificates to golf stores.  Any of these gifts would be well received by the golfer in your life, along with the countless thousands of others (such as electronic golf ball finders, disposable cleats, etc).  Whatever you decide, it is certain that the golfer in your life will be very happy with your choice provided you have done the appropriate amount of research through magazines, Internet searches and by other means.  Happy giving!
