Knowing what to get that special someone for their birthday might not always be so easy, particularly if all they seem to enjoy is golf and you know very little about the game yourself. Buying gifts is actually much easier than you’d think, you don’t even have to leave the house and visit a ‘golf shop’ if there are such things; it can all be done online. If you happen to know someone who has a passion for putting then there are plenty of golf gift to surprise them with.
Personalised Golf Gifts
Whether it’s a birthday treat or a special gift for Father’s Day, a personalised gift is a great way of letting him know just how much you care. From ‘personalised Golf Mugs’ to Personalised golf prints, he’ll know straight away that you’ve put that extra bit of thought into what he’d like. The Personalised cards and Personalised calendars also make for unique golf gifts and with their name and a message of your choice on every print, you’ll know that these gifts will be treasured forever.
For personalised gifts that will not only impress them but make their golfing friends envious too, then how about a Personalised Golf gift set or an engraved Golf Putter? These special gifts not only look great but have a practical use too if they decide to use them that is, these gifts would look just as nice as decorative additions to the home, too special to use and too shiny to not have out on display at all times.
Practical Golf Gifts
When it comes to choosing golf gifts, you may well prefer the idea of something that you know they will get a lot of good use out of, particularly if it will help them to improve their handicap. For those who want to get more serious about their golf, then a ‘Golfer’s Choice Experience Gift Pack’ is bound to please. Not only will they get to spend the day getting some top putting tips from a professional, but they’ll get to put them to good use with a full game of golf afterwards. If they’d prefer to get in some practise at home then you could always treat them to a ‘Talking Auto Putt Returner’. Not only will they get to improve their putting skills, but they’ll also be offered some words of encouragement from the machine too it even returns the balls to you so the player can take as many shots as they like without having to retrieve the ball every time.
Essential Golf Gifts
Although some golfers may not be aware of it, there are plenty of risks involved when being out in the open air with hardly anyone around. What happens if the weather turns? What happens if you lose your pencil and score card? Okay, so these probably aren’t the greatest disasters that could happen on a golf course, but it doesn’t mean that they are any less likely to happen.
Luckily for them, you could treat them to some golf gifts that no player should be without. The ‘Golf Bag Urban Kit’ contains hand warmers, sun cream, ball markers, pitch markers and even a pencil for those scoring emergencies. You could also make sure they’re prepped and ready to go with a ‘Worst Case Scenario Golf Handbook’ with top tips such as how to survive a bird attack, you’ll never have to worry about them again.
Fun Golf Gifts
For golf gifts that are designed to put smiles on their faces, and yours too, then the ‘Awesome Four Some Golf Balls’ are a great place to start. These magic golf balls are designed to cause absolute havoc on the course, and whether you choose to let them play the trickster or be the victim themselves is up to you. For those who want to get in a bit of practise at home, perhaps even start grooming the next generation of golfers in the family, then there are plenty of golf gifts to choose from.
The ‘Indoor Golf Gift Set’ is great way for them to practise their putting whilst also being easy on the ornaments and windows; and the ’4 in 1 chipping Net’ is a great way to divert the balls away from the house and into a specially designed skill-enhancing net. For those who perhaps spend a little less time on the golf course than they would like to, well then perhaps a set of golf-themed cufflinks will cheer them up. These golf gifts will put the finishing touch to any smart outfit, whether it’s an ordinary day at the office or a special event at the golf club.

5 Golf Putting Grips

Putting generally consumes 50 percent of the strokes in a round which is about half of your golf score. Putting should therefore get more attention in practicing and preparing for play. Many top golfers therefore devote much of their practicing time to golf putting practice.
Putting grips
The putter may be gripped in many ways. The golf putting grip basically stabilizes the left wrist so that it does not get bent toward the hole during the follow through of the stroke. If you are struggling on the greens then changing putting grip could do wonders for you. Before you get started, you need to learn how to hold the putter correctly in your hands. Keep the putter flat and diagonally across the fleshy pads of the palm. You need to ensure the putter shaft runs in a straight line with your forearm almost as if it is an extension of your forearm. You can try any of these popular styles.
1. This golf putting grip is popularly known as the Traditional Overlap and is the most popular of our putting grips. Place your left hand to the putter grip and then just below rest your right hand around the putter grip. Connect both of your hands by lifting the index finger of your left hand and wrapping it over the fingers of the right.
2. The Two Fingers Down grip as the name suggest starts by covering both hands around the putter grip in a way that it rests in the palms. Then lift the index finger of the right hand and the left hand and place them so they point straight down the side of the putter grip.
3. The claw is the most unusual golf putting grip. This style of putting grip has saved many golfers trapped in putting crisis. Like the traditional way you should start by placing your left hand on the putter grip. Then place your right hand on top of your putter grip. Finally hook your hand in position by wrapping your right thumb around.
4. The left below right grip has been a popular choice in recent years. It is basically the reverse of traditional golf putting grip. This grip suggests placing your right hand at the top of the putter grip, and your left hand at the bottom. Link both hands by wrapping the index finger of the right hand across the fingers of the left hand.
5. The box grip is a very new style of golf putting grip that has come up in the last couple of years. Place both hands side by side, level with each other on the grip, so that the shoulders are level. Next place your left hand at the top of the grip with the index finger running down the side of the grip. Then put your right hand an inch below so that the hands together form a box shape.
