5 Best Holiday Gifts for Golfers 

With a wide variety of price points, here are some popular gifts for golfers that you can find online or at most local golf shops.

1. Secret Grip ($12.99 per grip)

Endorsed by Jack Nicklaus, Boccieri Golf's Secret Grip let players benefit from the same unique counterweight technology that the "Golden Bear" counted on to win 18 major championships. To get technical, the patented grip compound is 40 percent heavier than standard and a tungsten weight in the butt-end raises a club's balance point.  The result? Consistently crisp contact, and greater control and distance. The grip actually improves the golfer's swing mechanics, not just hand traction.

2.   The Match:  The Day the Game of Golf Changed Forever by Mark Frost ($17.30)

A good book is one of the more timeless gift ideas for golfers. A must-read for the competitive golfer and casual player alike, this book by renowned author Mark Frost tells the story of a tectonic shift in the modern game of golf.

3.    Swingbyte 2 ($149.00)

One of the more unique gifts for golfers, this revolutionary mobile golf swing analysis device clips onto a golf club, records your swing with a lightweight sensor and sends that data to your smartphone or tablet. An intuitive app receives the data and reproduces the swing into a 3D model to analyze for faults and areas of improvement. It's a must-have piece of golf equipment for anyone looking to improve their game.

4.  Titleist Custom Golf Balls ($19.99-Q.99 per dozen)

Looking for personalized golf gifts? Design and create your own custom Titleist golf balls and packaging online through the Custom Imprinting Interactive App.  Then print out a copy of your customized material and take it to an authorized Titleist golf shop near you! Pricing for each individual order is set by your selected authorized Titleist golf shop.

5.   PGA National Gift Package( $299 per person)

When it comes to unique gifts for golfers, you can't beat this.  For that special someone on your list, let them enjoy one round of golf daily in Florida at PGA National's The Palmer, The Fazio, The Squire, The Estates and The Champion (surcharge). Nightly accommodations at PGA National's award-winning hotel with a private balcony, unlimited range balls, club storage and daily Palm Terrace breakfast are all included. Rates start at $299 per person, per night (based on double occupancy) January 1 – April 30, 2014.

When you're thinking of gift ideas for golfers, remember, nobody's perfect, so of course, no gift is perfect either. It's easy to make gift-giving mistakes, but it's just as easy to avoid making them in the first place. For instance, when it comes to personalized golf gifts, make sure to use the correct spelling! And try your best to get sizes, brands and styles right.  With a little planning, you'll be right on par!
