Advice for golfing in winter
For the golfing enthusiast in your life, there are many novel and exciting golf gifts and golf vouchers available. Apart from the always popular sets of tees, socks and golf balls, you could consider combining a bottle of good whiskey with them; single malt for the connoisseur of course. A set of novelty golf balls that explode or burst into smoke on impact is a lot of fun.
More practical golf gifts for men include a pair of cold weather gloves for winter, or anti-slip for good grip in wet weather. Cuff links with a golf theme are always welcome, as is a gift hamper with snacks, a personalised mug, some liquor and perhaps a soft toy. These hampers can be individually made up to your taste. An indoors golf gift set is ideal for lunch time putting in the office or for very wet winter days; a little golf bag pen caddy will fit neatly on the golfer's desk or next to his telephone
For a golfer's wall, a fine art print of St Andrews golf course looks quite authentic in a classy frame. The puzzle enthusiast will enjoy piecing together a picture of a 1920s Bobby Jones teeing off. The St Andrews gift set consists of a belt clip, holder for a score card, a magnetic Sherpashaw ball marker and a pitch mark repairer. There are many books that give tips and hints on how to improve your game; some are e-books.
Winter golfing in the UK is becoming very popular. Taking advantage of specially reduced packages, you get to play on the greatest courses, yet pay much less than in peak season. A combination of wonderful courses and excellent accommodation makes up special weekend deals of UK golf breaks for up to three days. Lodgings offer three, four or five star comfort and these packages are often fully booked some time in advance.
One of the winter packages offers you the opportunity to play three rounds on St Andrews Links with a round on the Old Course. This includes a catering voucher redeemable at a number of club houses for that important nineteenth hole action. The local Golfing Academy also offers lessons with a PGA professional; the more people in the group, the cheaper the fees per participant become.
Accommodation at Warwickshire, Lincolnshire and Cheshire is of four star quality; some of the venues include a spa resort where you can relax in style at the end of an enjoyable day's golf on great courses. Most packages include dinner as well as breakfast, leaving you free during the day to take your time on the nearby golf course. Even if you stay for one night only, you have the opportunity of playing two rounds of golf.
Other venues that have special packages available for UK golf breaks have five star accommodation available at reduced prices because of winter tariffs; these include Newport. But even three star lodgings, such as those at Worcestershire and Warwickshire, are not inferior by any means. The golfer's family will usually have many interesting places to visit and things to do to keep them occupied if they do not play golf themselves.
Prices vary considerably depending on what the package includes. At present some winter UK golf breaks are available for as little as 60 per person per night including accommodation, dinner and breakfast; others could cost up to 130 or more. It is worth your while spending some time researching your options before you make a decision. And remember to book well in advance; winter golfing in the UK is becoming a very popular pastime with enthusiasts.
