Golf Fanatic Gift

Hi everyone,

Just wondered if anyone could come up with an "extra" pressie for my golf fanatic son. He has all the best equipment etc and I can't think of anything different but "golfey" if you know what I mean!

Rusty - I did like that front page thing that I think you posted! Don't want to pay those prices so if I can't come up with anything else, I might have a go printing it myself.

    They do disappearing golf balls (in BHS i think) if it's just a stocking filler you're after.
    Just £10,852.28p to go...

    :D

    Trust that little voice in your head that says "Wouldn't it be interesting if...";
    And then do it.

    Tell us what he already has! It might take a few pages but then we can tell you what he's missing! ;)

    My OH is into golf and I've just bought him some new golf clothes for Crimbo.

    Give us a clue about budget aswell.

    Last time a looked in bhs, they had a small electronic scorecard for golfers (and lots of other stuff)

    All a novelty I know but it's unlikely that anything else you buy him will improve his swing.......

    How about a swing CD, a bit of irony? I have had a glass of wine, so disregard if that's a rubbish joke! (I have a feeling it might be! haha) x

    A little bit of humour goes a long way in this day and age......

    It got Lee Trevino a long way through a golf career.

    How about a golf break voucher there are a couple I use golfbreaks.co.uk and yourgolftravel.com of course there are others as well, or maybe a voucher for his local driving range most golfers like to visit the driving range on occasions I think this would be very useful

    Thanks everyone, some great ideas! I really like the "swing" cd, and the voucher for the local Driving Range.
    Can't tell you what he's already got- goes in one ear and out the other with me I'm afraid. (not into golf)
