It’s the thought that counts when it comes to buying and receiving a Christmas gift. This is very true, but I’m going to sound extremely harsh and ungrateful when I say that over the years I have received a number of golf-themed gifts that would never have made it onto my wish list.
“I know Alison plays golf,” is what non-golfing friends and relatives will discuss as Christmas approaches, and they will be thrilled to at least have an idea of what to buy me, which is half the battle. I don’t blame them, I would probably think the same if I knew someone’s hobby. But there are golf gifts and there are golf gifts.
