5 Gift Ideas for the Avid Golfer in Your Life

Whether it’s for Christmas or for a birthday, virtually any object related to golf can bring the avid golfer pleasure. However, equipment that can enhance the abilities of the player may be more ideal. While a new box of balls or bag of tees will more than likely be used on a regular basis, some items may take the game to a whole new level.

 Custom Golf Nets

 Golf nets can turn almost any yard into a driving range. Capable of catching even the most powerful of drives, your golfer can practice any time of the day from the comfort of home. Nets can protect the property of others while making it easier to collect the balls that have been hit. Even those with narrow or small yards can tee-off safely without breaking a neighbor’s window.

Swing Analyzer Kits

 Small devices that connect directly onto the golf glove or club can analyze various aspects of the swing while sending data back to a mobile device to be processed. This shows a detailed report of what the player can do to improve his or her swing leading to a better play while on the course. From the positioning of the club’s face to the speed of the actual swing itself, these devices often use a variety of metrics to help players improve their game.

 Putting Greens

 Instead of aiming at a cup laying on its side, putting greens can be greatly beneficial for fine tuning the short game. Thanks to various manufacturers, these can come in a variety of styles including larger units that emulate a small four-foot by 12-foot green. Some of these are akin to actual play on real grass.

Weighted Trainer Clubs

 An effective method to train a person’s body to swing a club correctly while building strength is using a weight trainer club. These clubs have grip molds and usually weigh eight pounds or more depending on the manufacturer. The idea behind this device is to create muscle memory for correct gripping while enhancing power.

 Golf Gloves

 Although some might think that one glove is just as good as any other, avid golfers will disagree. Some brands just simply fit better than others. However, you can take it a step further and add style to the game. From matching colors with your golfer’s bag to gripped gloves printed with a skeletal hand, there are many styles beyond the traditional white apparel.

 Advanced golf clubs can make a world of difference such as those mentioned by Bob Parsons on golf.com. The perfect driver can make an incredible impact on almost any course. When looking for gifts for your golfer, go beyond the obvious and find something that can take his or her game up a notch or two.
