Best Gift Ideas for Golf Lovers

Updated on February 20, 2012

For the Love of Golf

 Chances are you may know somebody who loves the game of Golf. With the holidays coming up or even for special occasions such as birthdays, or anniversaries, you may be wondering what to get the golf lover.

Golfers love the game. Not just that, they love the comradery they get with other golfers.  The love to try to perfect the game, and they know practice is what they need so they will spend hours out on the golf course.

But Golf can be quite expensive and most golfers appreciate anything that contributes to their game. Many golfers are casual golfers who will go out on the course in just a t-shirt and shorts and be quite happy, while others want the whole set up. Golf attire, golf gear, the golf cart, and any golf paraphernalia.  So finding something for the golfer can be quite challenging. But at the same time they will like anything they get that acknowledges their love of the game.

Of Course Golf Clubs

Many golfers already have golf clubs, but I have to mention them anyway because they are the most essential part of the game. I mean without golf clubs they would just be standing there looking at a little white ball on the ground.

Perhaps they have been thinking of getting a new set of golf clubs, or even upgrading from the ones they already have.

The Price range can be a little steep depending on the clubs you choose, but they do get years of enjoyment out of them and they are a good investment, any golfer would appreciate.

For beginning golfers just a standard set of golf clubs would be fine. They are great for learning and for starting out in practicing the game of golf.

Golf clubs range from approximately $100 to upwards of $300+ for a good set. And then of course there is the point of buying left handed or right handed clubs.

Golf Attire

 For many golfers just a t-shirt and shorts are just fine to play a round of golf in. However, since golf is played in summer, when it can get very hot out on the course. Special Golf attire is not a bad idea. And Golf shirts and shorts can make a very nice gift.

Golf shirts are made especially well and are made to wick away the sweat and body heat to help the golfer to stay as cool as possible when out for a day of golf.

This is why golfers love golf shirts and many times you will see them being worn as normal everyday attire in the summer.

The great thing about golf shirts for the gift giver is they are reasonably priced and will last for quite a few summers of good use. And they come in many different styles and colors to accommodate anybodies taste.

Golf Shoes

 Of course, golf shoes are pretty specific to the golfer. Some like steel cleats, others like rubber cleats. And for some it is what  specific shoe the golf course allows.

Not to mention, you have to know the golfers shoe size and preferences. But if you do or can get this information, golf shoes are a great gift, that will get allot of use.

Prices for golf shoes range greatly on the brand, and the style. For beginner golfers I would suggest something on the lower range first just to start out then one can always upgrade later when the golfer feels more certain about what he or she wants out of a golf shoe.

Other Golf Gift Ideas

 Perhaps you just want to get a gift item for a casual friend or co-worker, there are dozens of great gift ideas, that are not too expensive and still very practical.

Something as simple as golf balls can be a nice gift, since they are forever losing those darn things in the water hazards and in the deep rough.

There are nice golf ball buckets and baskets, to choose from as well.

Golfers love gadgets so any gadget that accentuates the golf theme is awesome. And many golfers love to read books and magazines about the sport as well so a nice book or magazine subscription is always a good choice.

Addendum:

A commenter suggested that I add this great gift idea, think about getting him or her some one on one golf lessons. Although golfers already know the game, they are forever wanting to hone their skills as a golfer. What better way to do that than with a professional golf instructor.

Another suggestion he made was to consider getting him or her a free round of golf at one of the local courses. Or to ramp it up a little more, some courses offer one year memberships to their courses. Which usually means complete access to all the courses. For a whole year! What golfer wouldn't love that.

Thanks Adam for the nice suggestions I really appreciate it.
