Smokes and Spirits
If your golfer likes to take a nip on the links - something we don't recommend, but realize many golfers do - this Pewter Embellished Golf Hip Flask ($24.95 at TGW.com) might be the thing.

Many golfers like to fire up a stogey on the course. If your golfer is one of those, take a look at these Cigar Pounches & Cutters ($15, various merchants). They'll keep the cigars fresh (and in one piece) until ready for lighting.

If your golfer's kitchen is already gaudy, a little more gaudiness won't hurt. So check out the Golf Club Wine Rack ($69.95 at TGW.com).

And take a look at these golf-themed Gift Baskets.

Organizers & Travel Bags
The Golf Organizer with Bench ($119 through Amazon.com) provides storage space for two bags and shoes, plus accessories, with a small bench in the middle. A less expensive model ($59.99), sans bench, is available at Sears.

In a similar vein, the Top Flite Golf Trunk Locker ($39.99 at Target) goes in the trunk of the car and carries shoes, hats, jackets, balls, tees and more.

For golfers who do a lot of flying, a Golf Travel Bag is a must. If your travelling golfer doesn't have one, they probably could use one.

Practice Aids
Practice aids and training aids are a dime a dozen (OK, they're actually quite a bit more expensive than a dime a dozen, but we just mean they are ubiquitous). But here are two items that are cheap but sure to be put to good use.

AlmostGolf Balls are practice balls that mimic the flight of real golf balls - but are made from a foam material so as to be safe for use around buildings (think backyard practice). They are much more useful than wiffle balls.

For a cheap training aid that, used correctly, will be more useful than 95-percent of the gadgets out there, try the On Mark Game Improvement in a Can ($8.95 at TGW.com). It sprays a yellow dye onto the golf clubface so that golfers can track - and work on improving - their points of contact.
