Rain gear
- Without doubt the most ideal gift would be a set of waterproofs. It's normally our intention to play in good weather most of the time but every now and then the unexpected happens and the heavens open up! At least you would be thankful you were kept dry.

City Shop
- Having a golf shop located in a small city before, many non-golfers visited us looking for gifts to give golfing friends. We had a selection for Birthday and Christmas including balls with logo print, towels, etc. But bestsellers were the towels and polo shirts on which we put names and wishes using our embroidery machine

Gift Hamper
- Try a gift hamper. Which contains a box of Titelist ProV balls, gloves, packet of tees, a pair of socks and even a divot tool with a magnetic marker, and show it off in a container with a see through top.

no clubs
- I think golf clubs are usually a bad gift for golfers -- unless the golfer has told you very specifically exactly what he wants. Never buy golf clubs in the dark, in other words -- golfers are very specific about what we want in our clubs. I once got a beautiful, expensive set of irons. Fantastic - except that they didn't match my swing. Had to take them back. The gift giver, I don't think, ever really understood why. They were great clubs, just not right for me. The exceptions, I guess, are if you are buying a cheap set or a beginner. Beginners just need something to swing.
