How about including added personalized details like an all-time low score next to their name, the hole number and course name where their first hole-in-one was scored, or a memorable statement about their win in a local golf tournament? Anything to remind your golfer of a time when they had a great round!<\/p>\n<h2>The \u201cGame\u201d Starts with the Golf Ball<\/h2>\n<p>If the key to gift-giving is finding something the recipient would never buy for oneself then consider the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.golfballs.com\/Golf-\/Balls\/Titleist-Pro-V1-Golf-Balls.htm?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=2016holidaygolfgifts112816&amp;utm_content=titleistprov1product&amp;t=blog\" target=\"_blank\">Titleist Pro V1<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.golfballs.com\/Golf-\/Balls\/Titleist-Pro-V1x-Golf-Balls.htm?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=2016holidaygolfgifts112816&amp;utm_content=titleistprov1xproduct&amp;t=blog\" target=\"_blank\">Titleist Pro V1x<\/a>. This golf ball is the overwhelming choice of the game\u2019s best players (seven wins on professional Tours across the world in the past week alone, if you\u2019re counting). Such a top of the line golf ball may not be a regular purchase for the duffer who doesn\u2019t believe there\u2019s enough game in the bag to merit playing the same ball as professionals. For many players, putting a Titleist on their peg is a rare treat that they won\u2019t normally get to experience. If you\u2019re wondering, the Titleist Pro V1 performs as well for the skilled weekend warrior as it does for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.golfballs.com\/player-spotlight-series-jordan-spieth\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jordan Spieth<\/a> and the gang.<\/p>\n<h2>Making the \u201cGame\u201d Better<\/h2>\n<p>Getting that golf game to improve means time on the range. A golf glove to protect the hands during those practice sessions is a must. Even without time on the range a top quality golf glove only has a life expectancy of about 18 rounds, so most golfers need to buy two or three a season. Pulling a few out of the stocking will be a welcome surprise, and don\u2019t be afraid to nudge your golfer out of the traditional whites and blacks with some of the stylish bright-colored gloves now showing up on golf courses.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.golfballs.com\/Golf-Accessories\/Practice-Aid.html?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=2016holidaygolfgifts112816&amp;utm_content=practiceaids&amp;t=blog\" target=\"_blank\">Training aids<\/a> to improve the golf swing are as old as the sport itself. Many of these ingenious devices are worthy of a Rube Goldberg cartoon but few are more effective than simple alignment rods. These lightweight fiberglass sticks, that are the length of a driver and fit easily into a golf bag, have a multitude of uses: checking alignment at setup, identifying ball position, building a proper swing plane when stuck into the ground, and working on a proper ball contact in the short game.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t use alignment rods on the golf course to bring down scores, but you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.golfballs.com\/Golf-Accessories\/GPS-and-Range-Finders.html?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=2016holidaygolfgifts112816&amp;utm_content=rangefinders&amp;t=blog\" target=\"_blank\">GPS devices and rangefinders<\/a>. These sophisticated laser tools do much more than give exact distances to the flagstick. You can find models with display screens that provide golf hole pictures with lay-up distances as well. Nothing builds confidence in the \u201cgame\u201d better than knowing the right club has been selected for the task at hand.<\/p>\n<p>For even more personalized gifts or gift ideas for the golfer in your life browse <a href=\"https:\/\/www.golfballs.com\/Golf-Gifting-Guide.html?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=2016holidaygolfgifts112816&amp;utm_content=giftcenter&amp;t=blog\" target=\"_blank\">Golfballs.com\u2019s Gift Center<\/a> for a huge range of golf products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever heard a golfer say, \u201cI\u2019ve got to work on my game,\u201d or \u201chow\u2019s your game?\u201d That\u2019s because golfers don\u2019t merely play golf; golfers have \u201ca game.\u201d When the gift-giving time rolls&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1321,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,16],"tags":[704,703,131,132,133,165,167,166,168],"class_list":["post-1667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-golf","category-golf-products","tag-christmas-golf-gifts","tag-golf-gift","tag-golf-gifts","tag-holiday-golf-gifts","tag-personalized-golf-balls","tag-titleist-pro-v1","tag-titleist-pro-v1-golf-balls","tag-titleist-pro-v1x","tag-titleist-pro-v1x-golf-balls"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1667"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1667\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1759,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1667\/revisions\/1759"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
