Gifts for a Golfer (UK)

At this time of year many people are scurrying around wondering what to give to a relative or friend. Preferably it should be something they don’t already have, or something that will be of special interest.

So what do you buy for a golfer?

Well Amazon.co.uk have a great range of options. Here is just a small sample of the choice:

• How about a box of golf balls? They’re always getting lost or mislaid. A fresh supply will surely be appreciated.
• Or is your special person still carrying his or her golf bag around on a shoulder? Would a golfing trolley be appreciated?
• Maybe the bag itself is getting worse for wear. Friends on the course will surely admire a smart new golf bag.
• Possibly you have a family member who is just starting out as a golfer. What about a package set of clubs and bag?
• Would a driving or chipping net, or a putting mat be a big help in practice? Such training aids can help make a big difference to a person’s game.
• A gadget enthusiast might like a golf GPS, a laser range finder or a handheld electronic caddy. A golfing gadget might be a hole-in-one for your gift-giving.
• Or if none of these catches your imagination, why not have a look at our display of golf books.

The range of possibilities is enormous. Use your imagination and your choice of gift can be targeted directly on the interests of its recipient.

Pebble Beach - History of a Golf Course

It is more than twentyfive years since I was staying in the Monterey area on the California coast with members of my family who were privileged to live there in that beautiful area for several years.

One afternoon I was driven out along the coast and admired the spectacular scenery in the are of the Pebble Beach golf course. I have never played golf there, but the memory of the surroundings of this course have often made me think what a marvellous place in which to hit some balls.

Now, Pebble Beach: The Official Golf History by Neal Hotelling has been published, and Amazon have it available at a very substantial reduction. This would make an excellent gift for a golfing enthusiast family member or friend, especially anyone who has played on the California coast..
