One of the really good things about having golfers in the family is that there is a HUGE range of golf gifts on offer for you to treat them to, even if you know absolutely nothing about the game whatsoever. I know this to be true, because my parents both play golf and they've been doing so for years, and all I know is that a tee relates to something you drink, and a birdee lives in a tree & flies.
Remember, golfers have their good days and their bad more than most people but the one thing you can be sure of is that they will all share that sense of frustration if they've not done well, celebration if they've improved their handicap (or it's stayed the same) & that the most important thing about golf is that it gives them hours of exercise, fresh air, companionship & friendship - AND that it leaves you free to do something more interesting instead.
Joking apart, I am very grateful to the sport of golf, because it's given the two people I love most many hours of pleasure, both on the golf course with each other & friends, and watching it on the telly.
So here are some golf gifts for you to browse, suiting many budgets.

A Quarter of have these delicious chocolate golf balls that are so geared to the golfer that you even get ABOUT 54 balls in the delivery. For those of you who know there are 18 holes on a golf course, you'll then go on to work out that this means there are 3 chocolate golf balls for every hole. Yum, yum! Your loved one can choose to share the golf balls around, dig into them on the quiet on those days when the weather isn't co-operating and the strong cold winds are to blame for their shots sending the ball into the bunker or lake, or be very disciplined and just take a few chocolate golf balls each time they head out onto the course.
