Christmas Gift Ideas

slumped

Hi All

I'm buying my Dad some golf gear for Christmas, thought I'd share what I think are good bargains:

Golfers Passport - Knightsbrook, Co. Louth and Headfort - €190 - http://www.knightsbrook.com/images/northeast-golf.pdf

Membership of GUI Academy - 15 months for 12 and free Titleist towel - €150

Pringle Waterproof Wetsuit - £100 off - reduced to £99.95 (around €130)- http://www.golf-direct.co.uk/pringle-waterproof-golf-suit-i761.html

Fourball at Dromoland - €120 (winter offer)

Anyone else got any other ideas??

I think the first idea could be a winner. I played Headfort New a few months ago with two other lads and we all agreed that it was the best parkland course we had played. One of the other lads had played Mount Juliet previously so he had a good parkland course to measure it against. If your dad hasnt played there before then he will have a great time. I havnt played Baltray but its supposed to be class and a friend of mine is a member in Knightsbrook and he says its a good course. Just make sure your dad hasnt played all 3 first and i suppose it depends on where you live in the country too.

WHIP IT!

If the GUI @ Carton is handy for him logistically then I think that's a great gift. Encourage him to practice and the facilities there are supposedly second to none.

A pair of really nice shoes maybe?

Padmore & Barnes had a 25% off sale here locally at the weekend and I was tempted...

Could you fill us in on the details of the facilities there - ie, I see you get 50% off ranger balls, 50& short-game area etc... so much does it generally work out as and what other little bits n bobs is there around the place that you find useful?

thanks alot

Yup, I know - but was wondering how much for a bucket of balls or an hour on the shortgame area or a shot on the Explanar thingy etc...
