I actually think that—in spite of the plethora of “golf gifts” out there, golfers are hard to shop for. Many (most) of the tchotchkes sold as “golf gifts” will end up on the shelf or in the trash: electronic score keepers, ball stampers, golf toilet paper, desktop putting sets, golf ball candles, potty putters, “premium” iron headcovers, putt retrievers, golf tee utility belts and the like. (For a full list of these, see my Ridiculous Golf Items of the Week section)

The more practical items, on the other hand, are no easier. Balls are always welcome—if you know your golfer’s favorite makes and models. But get the wrong one, and you’ve wasted your money. Purchasing clubs is out. Period. Your golfer may be very specific about the desired club, I think it’s still necessary to go to the shop for a test. Strangely, even clubs of the same model are not identical in practice. Ditto shoes, bags and gloves.

Wood tees, I think, are another matter. Everyone needs tees. Just look in your golfer’s bag to find the size. After that, they’re pretty much all the same. Get ‘em personalized and that makes a great gift. I got some GolfBlogger.Com tees a couple of years ago, and I an still using them—and handing them out as “business cards.”
