Golf Gifts - Great Gifts for Golf Lovers
|
One of the really good things about having golfers in the family is that there are some lovely golf gifts about, and you don't have to know anything about the game to choose one. I know this to be true, because my parents have been playing golf for years, and all I know is that a tee relates to something you drink, and a birdee lives in a tree & tweets.
Golfers have their good days and their bad, but they all share that sense of celebration or frustration, depending on how the round that day has gone. I'm very grateful to golf - it's given the two people I love in the world most many hours of enjoyment, fresh air, exercise, companionship & friendship.
So here are some golf gifts. On the experience days, please check the Need to Know sections Virign Experience Days helpfully produces and please remind recipients that vouchers do have an expiry date which usually cannot be extended.

A Quarter of have these delicious chocolate golf balls that are so geared to the golfer that you even get ABOUT 54 balls in the delivery - that's 3 chocolate golf balls for every hole on an 18 hole course. Your loved one can dig into them on the quiet on those days when the weather isn't co-operating and the strong cold winds are naturally to blame for their shots sending the ball into the bunker or lake & they feel like something comforting to enjoy. I bought my parents these for their 50th wedding anniversary and actually the chocolates never made the course... we devoured the lot at home. Available from A Quarter Of
