I was surfing the internet tonight and came across this wonderful watercolor painting of Bobby Jones on Etsy. The artist is selling the original for $399.
Its exactly the sort of thing I need for the lobby of GolfBlogger World Headquarters.

Gift Certificates for Last Minute Holiday Shopping
If you’re still looking for a gift for a golfer, your best bet at this time is to get a gift certificate online. Here’s what I’d suggest. Figure out what you’d like to get—a box of balls, a shirt, a club—and browse an online store for prices. Then get a gift card for something close to that amount.
Here are a few of my favorite stores:
GolfSmith is my favorite golf store—both as a brick-and-mortar store, and online. I’d love to get a gift card from GolfSmith.
A close second for me to GolfSmith is Golf Galaxy. They’ve got a good selection of golf gift like bar glasses and the like. They’ve also got the Maltby Golfworks line of components and clubmaking materials
Hirekogolf.com offers an incredible variety of custom golf clubs. Most notably to me, they carry the venerable DynaCraft line of custom components. You can either order the parts, or get them made for you to your specs.
GolfLocker is a great source for golf apparel and shoes.

Give A Round For Christmas
I just got an email from a southeastern Michigan course called Moose Ridge, suggesting that a gift certificate for a round would be a great Christmas gift for a golfer.
They’re right—and not just about their own track. Giving a course gift certificate is a terrific idea for golfers anywhere. I particularly like certificates to courses that I have yet to play, since it encourages me to try something new
If you’re in Southeastern Michigan, Moose Ridge—as their email suggests—would indeed be a good choice. Located in South Lyon, it’s a beautiful “Up North” style course that is marred only by the fact that it’s unwalkable. Otherwise, it’s a remarkable layout, requiring strategic thinking and the use of every club in the bag.
