    Kinda looking for advice.

    My brother is 14 and well asked for something Golf related for christmas.

    I have budget of 70euro. He has clubs bag and stuff think he like a training aid or something that can be used in winter.

    Any advice?

    Cheers.

    Can't go wrong with a couple of lessons from the local pro. Should be able to get two half hour lessons for about €60-70. Given your brother's age he'll be keen to improve his swing and the winter period will give him the time to work on the advise from the lessons before the season begins in April.

    Agree, if he has all the equipment he needs to play, then a couple of lessons is a good choice

    Get him:

    Alignment sticks (18)
    Indoor swing training club (15ish)
    Golf Mittens (20)
    Bobble hat (15)
    Golf bag towel (10)

    might get it for around 70ish

    and gift receipt ;)

    Where are you based? For 70euro you could get him a package of a few lessons. He can use them over the winter and he will thank you in the long run.. If you let us know where you're based people here will be able to recommend someone fairly quickly. If you've your heart set on practice aids you're only option this close to Xmas is somewhere like McGuirks as its probably too late to order online. You can check out their practice equipment here:

    Lessons or wet gear, the importance of which cannot be overestimated

    Could you get him a few green fee vouchers for a few decent courses

    @ 14 you could probably get a few for 70 quid

    Cheers guys for feedback.

    I am based in Dublin, but from North Cork area where brother and family are from.

    I think purchasing Golf Lessons is something never even crossed my mind and actually think it's great idea. So will look at that tomorrow.

    Think I get another Golf related gift too and will look at some of your ideas.

    Only two hours left on this deal but I've seen this guy recommended on here before. https://www.spiritradiodeals.ie/#
    Looks like a great price if you were anywhere near Bray.

    Check out karlherbertgolfpro.com - I started with him about 6 months ago and my game has seriously improved. I was only a beginner in fairness so my improvements are pretty amplified by how bad i was before hand but he seems to be well rated in the area. They have some deal with mcguirks too!!
