Tee It Up!: Valentine’s Day Golf Gift Basket

Valentine Golf Balls

Its too late to buy something and ship it out, so you only real choice is an Amazon Gift Cards. Amazon is by far my favorite store, and this year, I did virtually all of my gift shopping there. They have practically anything I’d want to give. They have lots of golf stuff, too.

Annika Fragrances

Annika Sorenstam, the face of LPGA golf for so many years, has her own signature line of fragrances. According to the literature, Annika “boasts rich aromas of amber, vanilla, white flowers and citrus.” It’s $59.50 for 1.7 oz. and $79.50 for 3.4 oz. All domestic orders ship free this month.

It just might be the thing for the lady golfer in your life.

One of my advertisers, Stonehouse golf, now is offering free shipping until Christmas.

StoneHouseGolf.com has some of the nicest panoramic golf photos I’ve seen. I first noticed them in the pro shop at Arcadia Bluffs this past summer, and found that they served as a real goal and inspiration for my own golf photography. I’m going to get one of their golf photos to hang in my classroom—just not sure which one yet.

Of course, many of their photos are of places I’ll never get to playing—from US Open Courses to the classic courses of Scotland, Ireland and England. They’ve also now got an interesting series of photos called “Colonial America,” which features courses from the original thirteen states. There are some photos of Pennsylvania courses—like Aronimink, French Creek and Laurel Valley that are really neat.

Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes (Black)

This may be just a little outside the box, but I think that one of these little, and relatively inexpensive video cameras would make a great Christmas gift for the golfer in your life. Mounted on a Gorillapod, it can be easily attached to a bag and taken to the range (or to the course) for a videotaping of the swing.

That’s LOTS less expensive than one of those private videotape lessons. And every real golfer will be able to analyze their own swing faults, once they’ve seen them in slow motion.

I’m looking for suggestions for golf-themed stocking stuffers ... balls, of course. Tees. Ball Mark Tools.

Then what?

I’m trying to avoid things that might be nominated for Ridiculous Golf Item of the Week.
