Christmas Gifts for Golfers!!!

I thought I'd got away with it this year.

I've told family and friends not to but me any Golf related gifts as, unless bought from a proper golf retailer, they  are basically naff.

You know the type of thing, gadgets to stamp your initials on golf balls, golf balls with Christmas/Jokey Logos where the balls are rubbish, electronic score machines, woolen head covers, joke exploding golf balls, ball and club care kits, you get the picture? You normally find them in M and S BHS or Next under the mens gift sections along with the mini remote control cars, coin sorting machines, desktop pool tabler and dart sets.

And I've had the lot!!!

If it's a Jack Daniels (or similar) related golf gift, then as long as it has at least a miniature inside, it is almost acceptable, but I still have 3 Jack Daniels Golf balls (of unknown make) that will never see a driving range, let alone a golf course!

One year, my dear old Mum even knitted me a ghastly set of woolly head covers, complete with pom poms and, get this, a golf glove. Yes knitted!!!

So remember this, REAL golfers, do not want any gifts that, whilst golf related, have no use whatsoever onthe golf course, or that make you a better golfer, or the round more enjoyable. If you played golf you'd understand!

Mind you, she did get me something useful this year, it's a leather wallet, which has contains a "Magic Wheel", which works out all of the shots when playing 3/4, or 7/8, or whatever combinations possible.

Thanks Mum and a Happy New year!!!
