No golfer is complete without an odd
and eccentric arrangement of strange accessories to help him get through the
day. Golfers certainly have a lot to choose from, since it is one of the most
accessorized sports out there. If you are looking for some nice golfing
accessories, either for yourself or as a gift for a golfing loved one, you will
have no problem finding something that will tickle your fancy. Here I will
discuss some of the most practical golf accessories. There are many more than
the ones that will be discussed here, but most of them are hardly able to be
classified as useful. If you are looking for more of a gag gift, you may want
to look elsewhere. However, if your needs include a useful golf accessory, read
on.
Motorized golf caddies are devices
that will carry the golfer’s clubs alongside him as he walks. Rather than
straining himself by carrying the clubs manually, he can simply enjoy a stroll
through the scenic golf course while the motorized caddy does most of the hard
work. Before you buy one of these, you should be sure that the recipient will
have a need for it. Some golfers prefer to leave their clubs in their golf
cart, or to simply hire a human caddy. Find out about the golfer’s habits, and
decide for yourself whether you think he would find a motorized caddy useful or
not. The prices can run fairly high, so you want to make sure that the
enjoyment is worth the money.
Home training equipment is also very
popular in the golfing community. There are many different devices that are
meant to teach golfers to swing with better technique in the comfort of their
own homes. These are known as golf swing trainers, and are generally more on
the expensive side than any other golf gift. There are quite a few different
choices, from the basic home putting green to more advanced
accelerometer-enhanced clubs that will detect your swinging angles and speed.
Again, this is not the kind of gift that you should buy out of nowhere. Discuss
it with the person you would like to give it to, and make sure that it would be
put to good use.
Overall, you should know that golfers
are a fairly easy crowd to please. Anyone who is happy just hitting balls with
sticks all day will have no problem entertaining themselves with any of the
gimmicky or novelty gifts that you can come up with. Therefore if you are
trying to find one of the top golf accessories for yourself or a golfing
friends or family member, you shouldn’t worry too much about finding the
perfect thing. As long as they have decent clubs, they should be set. Golf
clubs are by far the most expensive part of a golfer’s arsenal of items, and
the most important part as well. If you want to buy golf clubs for someone, you
would probably do better to give them a gift certificate or coupon so that they
can choose them on their own.
Another gift that is great for golfers
is some sort of trip to a golf course that they would really enjoy going to.
Sometimes an avid golfer doesn’t have the time (or doesn’t give himself enough
of a break) to visit some of the nicer or more exotic golfing locations. If you
really want to surprise and delight a golfer, you should plan a golfing
vacation to one of the nicer locations in the world. Maybe a place where you
can golf for most of the day, then swim in the ocean for a few hours before
heading to your deluxe hotel. Usually if you plan it right you can keep the
cost from being too insanely high, but most of the time it is better to indulge
yourself and spend what it takes to have a great time.
