To get just the right golf info and gift for a golfer friend or golfing family member can be a bit of a problem for someone who knows little about golf. Maybe you should get him/her a golf club. But then what if it doesn't fit well with the clubs they already have? A box of golf balls perhaps--but there are so many types of golf balls for different players.The following article published by the Edmonton Journal may give you some guidance.
We all know golfing is an incredibly popular hobby, and there are more than 70 courses in the Edmonton area. Golf is a challenging sport that keeps us coming back for more, so why not help your favourite golfer with their game? Try a rangefinder, a cool electronic device that finds the pin and determines the distance depending on the elevation. They are a couple of hundred dollars at least, but if you're buying for a dedicated golfer, it will be worth it.
If your golfer is spending too much time searching for their golf balls, try a pair of golf ball locating glasses from Hammacher Schlemmer. The lenses in these golf ball-finding glasses contain a pigment that helps to filter light as it passes through, causing white golf balls repeatedly hit into the rough to stand out against dark backgrounds. They have a plastic-resin frame with form-fitting wraparound styling and scratch-resistant polycarbonate lenses with a urethane nose bridge. Not intended for use as sunglasses. One size fits most. These sell for $39.95 at hammacher.com.
Jim McCulley, Callaway Golf's northern Alberta representative, recommends the Razr Hawk driver. According to the Callaway Golf website, "the sole and crown of the RAZR Hawk Driver contains more than 23 million turbostratic carbon fibers that reinforce 67% of the clubhead. This allowed engineers to precisely control thickness like never before, resulting in a clubhead that's lighter, stronger than titanium but still has an extremely high moment of inertia. The lighter clubhead enables a longer club configuration for faster head speed, ball speed and greater distance without compromising forgiveness." The Razr Hawk is available at golf retail stores and many of the city's pro shops.
Have fun buying gifts that complement these healthy hobbies. Your golfer, gardener and baker will certainly appreciate your support of their passion.

Another way to get golf info of course is to just ask the golfer what they would really like to receive as a gift for Christmas, their birthday, anniversary or other special occasion. A close friend or family member will not mind telling you what they could really put to good use--and that's a lot better than spending your money on something that won't really be appreciated .for more great golf info go to Get golf info
