While children everywhere wait every year for the holiday season to arrive, these weeks and months can be difficult for golfers. Unless they’re living way down south or far enough west to sniff desert, the only golf available is via simulators, indoor ranges or Playstation.
You can take the edge off of a golfer’s suffering by serving up any of these golf gifts. Each reminds the duffer that warmer weather is coming — while improving his or her game.
