Retirement Gifts For Golfers

By Colin Jones

There is a commonly-held belief that golf is the pastime and sport of entrepreneurs and businessmen. It also has the reputation of being exclusive and elite and not being available to ordinary blue collared workers. However, this is not really true, since modern technology and globalization have brought this so-called elite sport into the realm of normal people.

This is because you don't need to pay for sophisticated equipment to play. Unlike big game fishing or polo which need a lot of resources - a boat or a horse respectively - golfers just require a set of golf clubs, which are reasonably affordable these days. Bearing this in mind, retirement gifts for golfers and aspiring golfers are more easily thought of.

Personally made retirement gifts to personalize golfing equipment is quite easy since you could easily make it personal by embroidering such items as golf club pouches or caddy covers. These can be knitted, if you are into knitting or by any similar craft which may use different materials.

A good idea is to think about the fashions of golfing which means to focus on the things worn by golfers. You may even be able to set a new trend in golfing apparel by using your lively imagination and an interesting design for your retiree.

Common gifts. The most common method of buying a retirement gift for golfers is to go to the nearest sports shop and get your retiree one of the things sold there. It may sound a bit impersonal to just get the retiree a commercially available gift, but then this may actually be very useful, if the retiree is still a novice golfer. Maybe you might want to get him a set of golf clubs as it is the basic requirement to be able to play golf.

Furthermore, you may find some other accessories that your retiree golfer may still need but then perhaps you could also contribute your imagination on what things can be made to enhance the golfing equipment he may already have.

Shop bought golfing equipment is handy too, eg, you could make your retiree feel professional, giving him a set of famous golf clubs, making him look like a pro.

Gags and Jokes The fun part of choosing to give a gag gift, instead of the traditional gift, is the humour these items can create. It also adds to the lighter side of the golf-playing retiree's party and his friends will be able to join in with smiles, laughs and jokey comments as well.

The gag present should be chosen very carefully as the gag gift may represent a sensitive matter for the retiree, especially if he is still a beginner. Gag gift for golfers may be misunderstood and discourage their golfing education if they are upset by the idea represented by the gag present you have given to them.

However, to veteran players who already know the game inside out, the gift of a good gag present on their retirement day would be very amusing because they would already see golfing not only as a way to relieve their stress and get some exercise but to actually just have a laugh too.

You should see retirement gifts for golfers as just a simple way to make your golfing friend enjoy life after his career is over. - 32535
