What shall I get the golfer in my life for Christmas? What are the ideal golf gifts?
I don’t really understand it but almost as soon as Hallowe’en and Guy Fawkes are over, all eyes move towards Christmas. It’s more than 7 weeks away, people! Let’s just get through November! No?
Perhaps it’s part of the great gender divide but my better half (and children, too) have started to ask the question that quite a lot of us dread… what do you want for your Christmas?
Oh, I dunno!
But then I thought that others may have the same problem in either buying gifts for golfers or knowing what to ask for when the ‘present question’ comes around - as it invariably will.
Just a quick note… If you’re buying gifts for golfers, please do not get golf clubs. These are very personal items and need to be selected by the golfer themselves.
So have a look at this lovely selection of gifts that any golfer would be happy to receive.
Personalised Titleist Golf Balls
Want to make sure that it's definitely your ball that you're fishing from the water hazard? Then buy Titleist Golf Balls before Christmas* and you can get free engraving on each. Get a name, initials or any fun message you choose. Plus, buy a dozen balls and get a free ball marker, too!

*(before 8th December for Christmas delivery)
Play Golf Scotland Gift Bag Of course I have to add our own fabulous gift bags onto this list. Perhaps I'm biased but these bags would go down a treat for any golfer. The bag contains several individual and unique items including hints and tips cards, golf tees, Nike balls and more.
Priced from £25 plus postage.

Chipping Net
If you are interested in chipping practice a chipping net is fun and helpful. And did I mention it's fun? I spotted this PGA Tour Perfect Touch Practice Net on Amazon and it's a steal at only £7.50. If you're planning to use this indoors then consider buying foam practice balls and moving any precious bits and bobs before you play!
Soap for Golfers A natural hand soap designed to ease sore muscles. I can personally attest that this is fabulous stuff.

No Limits: My Autobiography by Ian PoulterOkay, I'm going to be honest - I haven't read this book yet as it's on my own Christmas list! But if you're interested in finding out how IP is motivated then this would be a great stocking filler. (It's got good reviews, too!)
