If any of your friends or family are golfers, you may wonder what kind of present you could give them. It can be hard to choose, but, if you know how interested the player is, and how experienced they are, then you can make the selection process a little easier.
There are some golf gifts that any golfer will appreciate. If you can get someone vouchers for a round at their favorite course, then they will most certainly enjoy that. Usually, vouchers are good for a round of 18 holes, but many courses will allow them to be used in batches of 9, making them ideal gifts for even casual golfers. If you are buying vouchers, make sure that you buy them at the right rate

I don’t know anything at all about golf, so any and all help is much appreciated.
Please keep the cost around $20 at most.
Does it matter what kind of golf balls I get?
Is a certain kind better than others?
Mickey, thanks for the thought but I need to get him an actual item.
The thing is, he is very serious about golf and wouldn’t much like a trip to a minigolf course.

What are the best places to golf in the Chicagoland area?
My boyfriend and I are going to move to the area. He loves to golf and I would like to know about the different golf courses/centers in the area. I have never golfed. It is almost his birthday and I would like to surprise him with some type of golfing excursion or golfing gift certificates. Do you have any ideas as to where/what I can give him?

You enter a golf store and are overwhelmed with all the irons, woods, putters and wedges that you see along with the golf balls, clothing and other golf accessories. If you are just starting to play golf, the task of selecting the golf clubs that would work for you could be a bit challenging.
First, you would need to know what a set of clubs is made up of. There are four main types of golf clubs: the Woods, the Irons, the Wedges and the Putter. Today, you may also come across hybrid clubs. A hybrid club is a cross of a wood and an iron. People who are having a hard time hitting their long irons, like a 2 or 3 iron, prefer to use these clubs. You are allowed to have up to 14 clubs and could be in any combination. An example of a good combination for your golf clubs would be one driver, one 4 wood, 3 through 9 iron, a lob wedge, a gap wedge, a sand wedge, a pitching wedge and one putter. However, the combination would entirely be up to you or the golfer as different combinations work for different people.
You then need to know your available options as you buy your golf clubs. You can either buy used or new. Although you would definitely save more if you choose to buy used golf clubs, you may encounter some issues like cracked shafts, worn grips and other problems that a new set would surely not have. If you are buying your first set, it usually makes more sense to buy new ones.
After deciding on buying a new or old set, you now have to decide if you will be getting a complete set or will just buy individual clubs by your own to make one set. Putting together your own set would be a bit more expensive compared to just buying a set of clubs that is already complete. Purchasing a complete set also saves you the hassle and the time in making decisions.
If you are a beginner, it is recommended to buy the complete starter set, which includes one driver, a 3 wood, a 5 wood, the 3 through 9 irons, one pitching wedge and your putter. This could also include one sand wedge and a bag for your golf clubs. Although this set only has 11 or 12 clubs, as your game progresses, you could decide for yourself on which club to add to your set. You could eventually add a 2 iron, another wedge or a hybrid club.
Keep in mind that getting expensive golf clubs will not improve your game or help you play better. You should not spend $300 on just one driver if you could spend a lot less to get everything you need in one package. Getting a complete set would be the best option to save you money that would later on need for replacing lost golf balls.
I need to buy a gift for an extended family member that I really don’t know very well. I do know he really enjoys golfing, but I honestly know less than nothing about golf. Looking to purchase something is roughly the $30-$60 dollar range, preferably something I can order online or buy on ebay. Thanks!

You need an idea for a birthday golf gift for your spouse, boss or friend and have no idea where to begin. You can relax as we are going to steer you in the right direction and you will be able to find the perfect birthday golf gift for your golfer. We are going to give you a couple of hints to find out what they may want for their birthday.
One of the first places to go is the straight to the horse’s mouth and go to the golfer themselves. If you are also a golfer, you can do a little snooping around their golf bag as you play golf together. Do they have grooves on their wedges? Are they unhappy with their Driver?
If you know they are going to be purchasing a new set of golf clubs in the near future, you can get them a golf club fitting done by a certified club fitter in your area. If you are not a golfer you may need to be a little more direct and just ask them what they would like. If you are not comfortable with this, purchasing a gift certificate at their golf shop could be another idea.
Another great place to get ideas on what birthday golf gift your golfer would enjoy is to simply ask their golfing friends. The golfing buddies are the ones who get to hear all of the good and bad about your golfer’s game and should be able to fire off some suggestions for a birthday golf gift that will excite your golfer. Maybe a two or three day golf trip with their friends is the answer? It seems only fair that then you could take a two or three day trip of your choice! Oh wait, we are trying to find a birthday golf gift for them and not something for us. Time to get back on task.
One more good resource to find specific birthday golf gift ideas for your golfer would be to ask their golf professional. This is especially true if your golfer is taking lessons. Their golf professional should be able to give you a couple of creative ideas in various price ranges. The ideas could be a golf club or a golf practice aid that they have had their eye on in the golf shop. Typically, the golf professional would also be able to wrap and ship the birthday golf gift, if needed, making it a one stop shop.
Use the resources listed above, in an attempt to find the perfect birthday golf gift. Ask questions of their golf professional, the golfing buddies and the golfer themselves. Keep in mid that you can always purchase a gift certificate. This may be helpful if your golfer does not live in a close proximity to you.
The golfer could then use the funds to purchase or towards the purchase of something they would really want and properly fits them. In addition, it would save you the worry and time of trying to be perfect. With the gift certificate you know in the end they will receive the perfect birthday golf gift.
