The Last Minute Guide for Non-Golfers Buying Gifts for Golfers

It can be difficult for the non golfer to buy gifts for a golfer but this guide will assist you buying a present every golfer will love. Read on for 10 great gift ideas.


1. The Gift Every Golfer Will Love

Titleist Pro V1 Golf Balls


 

Every golfer no matter who they are will love the most popular golf ball, the Titleist Pro V1. Head to your closest pro shop to buy. Price ~€60 per dozen.


2. The Gift of an Unforgettable Experience

A Round of Golf

 

A round of golf at an exceptional course will create enduring and life long memories of a never to be forgotten day. In Ireland Ballybunion, Portmarnock, Waterville, Old Head, Lahinch, Royal County Down, Royal Portrush and others will deliver amazing golfing memories. 

Green Fees from €150 upwards.

3. The Gift of Reading

A Classic Book

 

Golf has an abundance of great books. One of the easiest to read and full of great tips and anecdotes for golfers of all levels is Harvey Penick's Little Red Book, a timeless classic from the 1990's. Other great books include, Golf is not a Game of Perfect - Bob Rotella, Every Shot has a Purpose - Vision 54, The Anatomy of a Golf Course - Tom Doak, Caddy for Life - John Feinstein, Every Shot Counts - Mark Broadie and a new release to consider - A Course Called America - Tom Coyne.

4. The Gift of Better Putting

Every Golfer wants to hole more putts

 


 

Training aids are hard to buy because even though every training aid is good for something and someone, very few are good for every one. One of the exceptions to the rule is the Orange Whip Putter Blade. It's flexible shaft design trains putting rhythm, tempo, timing and balance leading to better distance control and face contact which means less putts and lower scores. It works for both right and left handed golfers and is ideal for rolling a few putts on the carpet at home in the Winter time.

Price: ~€140


5. The Gift of Lower Scores

A Golf Lesson


For the golfer who is already taking lessons, a gift lesson is an easy buy, contact the professional they are getting lessons from and they will know what gift to give. 

For the golfer who is not taking lessons, a gift lesson is a bit more difficult to buy as they will have a few reasons, such as little time to practice, as to why they aren't taking lessons. In that situation, a lesson voucher for a distance gapping session, green reading session or playing lesson for strategy would be a great option. The golfer won't have to practice after these sessions and will gain plenty of information to help them shoot lower scores. The professional at the golfer's club will again be able to advise on this.

Golf Lesson Price: €40-€100


6. The Gift of Warmth

A Kjus Radiation Vest

 

Clothing items are also a difficult buy but the Kjus Radiation Vest is a gift every one will love. Extra lightweight with windproof and insulating fabric, this vest is as versatile as it gets, perfect for all outdoor activities not just golf. The vest has great freedom of movement and the classic styling will suit everyone.

Available from Waterville Golf Shop with the iconic hare logo.
