The 2016 Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide Although we like the holidays, we also dislike the madness that comes with it. Traffic. Tons of people everywhere. The lines. Circling the mall parking lot until you are forced to find out that there is a basement level 5 with one spot left waiting for you. Sometimes we wonder, why do we even bother with Christmas shopping! We’ve all been there. In spite of all those things and no matter what we know is about to happen, the holidays are still the best. Giving gifts brings joy not just to the person receiving it, but it makes us feel good inside too. So, since we know you all have to buy things for your golfer-loved-ones (including yourself), we compiled a huge list of things you’ll want to take note of. There are 55 Gift Ideas this year and it is our biggest Holiday Gift Guide yet. We split them into 8 categories, so that you can find the one that fits your golfer with ease. The list is comprised of the most sought-after, favored, and of course still practical Christmas gifts that we’re certain any golf fanatic - including you - would love to both give or receive. This holiday season, spend less time of stressing over what to buy and more time on enjoying the most wonderful time of the year. Choose gifts from our Holiday Gift Guide made just for you and you may not even have to leave your comfy couch to get them. ;)

Perfect Stocking Stuffers Under P1,000

1

The Golf Club Video Game - PS4, Xbox, PC

Seriously, most stocking stuffers or gifts under PHP1000 are lame, but we all want them. We all need them. Generally they aren’t really that useful or they end up being tossed somewhere in a corner. This isn’t one of them. You can use this gift over and over. It can also be used by someone who doesn’t even know how to play golf in real life. EA Sports has done something different than now other previous golf video game has done. While others have lacked customization, good commentary and details on the courses themselves, The Golf Club does not. This game if for people who really love golf. It’s not about the fancy clothing customization of “flashy gimmicks.” is more about appropriating the feel of the sport rather than dressing it up with good looks or flashy gimmicks. There’s no swing timer to insure that if you click the button at just the right

2

moment, you will hit 250 yards. There’s no virtual caddy to tell you which iron to use, nor aftertouch spin controls to correct a misplaced shot. This is all about you and your knowledge out on the course. The basics you will receive on each hole start is the wind direction, distance to the pin and the elevation of the cup. It’s up to you to read your own greens, your own ball lie and know just how much power to use based on your own experience on the course. What is it? It’s a golf video game. Who is it for? People who know how to golf. Who is not for? It’s challenging, but it suits anyone that actually plays golf. Where can I buy it? Pick up a copy of this EA Sports Game at any Data Blitz Store (call first to reserve it) for PHP995. You will keep coming back to this game unlike any other golf video game due to the sheer amount of courses and the challenging aspect of the game, which you can easily apply to real life. You will just need to also have a PS4, XBox One or a PC to run this game. :) Golf Inspirational Quote Mug

Inspiration can be found anywhere. Some people find it on a random billboard that they see during their multiple hours a day spent on Edsa traveling to and from work. Others look into a bowl of cereal and think that the shape of their floating cheerios have formed a message for them. My son thinks that the clouds are always in the shape of dogs or dinosaurs. For me, I like things that are more straight forward and to the point. Every morning, I have a routine. I make myself a cup of coffee and start scrolling on my iPhone through the multiple emails that graced my inbox that night. Normally, I use my favorite mug that

3

literally has no meaning. The one I’m using right now has my first initial on it, so it does have a little bit of meaning on it. We all use mugs. We all drink beverages and we all need things to hold them in. Why not be inspired the next time you take a sip? Why not inspire someone else influencing them throughout their upcoming day, month or year? Who knows how far your mug can take them right? Who is this for? People who drink liquid. Who is this not for? People who are never thirsty and don’t like to be inspired. Where do I get it? They are a special order item and you can contact us at concierge@golfph.com with your order. It’s really simple to do, plus it’s affordable at only PHP 399 each. Start sipping the right away to start your day! Collectible 3PCS Mini Golf Clubs Models Ball Pen Golf Balls Flag gift set

What you put on your desk tells a person a lot about you. An example is if you went in for an interview and you saw someone with a photo of some kids on their desk, it probably means they are parents or grandparents. If you saw a picture of a dog, generally it means

4

they either like dogs or they owned that dog at one point. It’s a conversation piece. A way to start talking about something that the other person may be interested in. A perfect gift for golf lovers to keep on their desk is a personal miniature golf set near you. This set consists of 3 mini golf club ball pen models, 2 golf balls and a flag. It’s practical and a classic simple piece that you will see everyday. It will give you something to do the next time you are placed on a call hold, which will probably be today. Who is this for? Golfers who have a desk. Who is this not for? Golfers who don’t want people to know they like golf. Where do I get it? You can get this set for only PHP 685 and can be found online here. Deuter Neo Belt II

Golfing in the Philippines can be a challenge. It’s not like the rest of the world. There are courses that are known to have people with “sticky hands” in the clubhouse locker rooms and their are caddies that do it too. It will always be prevalent in countries where the pay is low. You need to always make sure you are watching out for your stuff. It’s for this very reason that I always try and keep my cash and my cell phone in my pocket at all times, but it definitely mess up my swing. Sometimes I’ll leave it in the cart hidden somewhere, but it’s still a hassle since I’ve had cash taken from my bag before. The Deuter Neo Belt II is an awesome gift for a golfer. It keeps your pockets cell phone free. There’s no extra weight and it allows you space to put the more important things like your golf balls and tees. That’s what makes the Dueter Security Money Belt bag so

5

awesome. It was originally intended for traveling, but works great on the golf course. Just strap it to your back and go about your round. At 0.05 Kilo’s… you won’t even know it’s there. Note: It looks pretty cool too. =) Who is this for? Golfers who carry cash and a cell phone on the course. Who is this not for? Golfers who trust their belongings in the cart or clubhouse locker room. Where do I get it? You can get this belt for only PHP 885 and can be found online here. Golf Split Ring Keychain

This 3D Golf Keychain is one of those timeless gifts. It looks really classy and it can be used by literally anyone. Even someone who doesn’t play golf. Most of us have keys to our home or keys to a car or office. This is a great for anyone also to stay organized and differentiate one set of keys from another. There are 2 different colors at an affordable price. You will get some compliments from someone guaranteed.

6

Who is this for? People who use keys and like novelty pieces that not everyone has. Who is this not for? People who live in hotels and use plastic key cards. Where do I get it? You can get this keychain for only PHP 399 and can be found online here. Flurian Flask

This is for the person that is looking to give a modern and classy gift. It’s an eye catching gift and looks super expensive even though it is just PHP 850. You can literally give it to anyone who enjoys a drink while on the course, out on the town or in their very own home. It can be used anywhere in the Philippines. What we really like about it is the look. It’s simple and even can be used for water. It looks a lot nicer than a the plastic bottle that you would get from your local 7-11 and it saves the environment at the same time! Also, you will definitely draw a lot of compliments on it, which will make your recipient and you feel great. Who is this for? People who like to take their beverages on the go. Who is this not for? People who would rather carry around a glass or plastic bottle. Where do I get it? You can get this flask for only PHP 850 and can be found online here. Bonus: Get it engraved for only PHP 100 at your typical glass engraver.

We can help you choose some if you need some help. :) It’s really an indispensable accessory for golfers and can easily be attached to your golf bag or belt strap to make it accessible whenever you need it. It also helps you avoid potential holes in your pocket and getting poked in the leg. Who is this for? All golfers. Who is this not for? Someone who already has one. Where do I get it?

A Golfer’s Best Friend - Golf Equipment JPX-900 Forged Irons

8

Alright, so this may get you a little curious on why we chose a forged iron set to promote as the very best golf equipment for this holiday season. I’m sure that you probably may even want to dispute this suggestion merely because you aren’t a fan of Mizuno, but let me tell you why. Let me first tell you what it means to have a “forged” irons. 90% of all golf clubs are made of casting, which involves pouring molten metal into a mold to produce a golf club. This allows the manufacturers to be creative in how they make their club heads and where to put the weight in the head. A forged head or forging involves taking a piece of soft steel and stamping or beating it into shape. This means that the steel is softer giving what some players say a better “feel.” It’s definitely more labor intensive, which means pricier. A forged iron allows you as a golfer to “feel” when you hit off-center, which helps you achieve the maximum distance and desired trajectory. Forged irons also have more weight in the center of the club. As a result, better players who hit the the sweet spot more often will maintain a lot more consistency in their shot compared to cavity back irons where the weight is dispersed. The Mizuno JPX900 Forged irons have been dubbed by many golf enthusiasts and reputable reviewers as “standout irons” over the last two years. One of the main reasons why is because of the Boron steel that they introduced into their forged irons 2 years ago. Basically Boron steel is 30% stronger, which allows Mizuno to create a thinner face, that is more durable with longer lasting grooves. I could go on and on about these clubs, but that’s not what this post is all about. I recommend you check out a few other product reviews online if you are interested.

9

Who is it for? Golfers who understand what “feel” means. Who is not for? Probably not appropriate for golfers just starting out. Not because they aren’t great clubs, but generally you want to start out with a “beater” set that you hack away with first. One at a lower price point, but if you want to skip to one of the best, then this is your set! Where can I buy it? Mizuno Retailers (Retails here for PHP64,995, but keep your eye out for Christmas Sales) Bushnell Tour V4 with Slope

Having a range finder when you golf is a must nowadays. In fact, it gives you a huge edge over your buddies because you’ll actually know the correct yardage. So that is why we had to include the Bushnell Tour V4 with Slope in this year’s Holiday Gift Guide. It is one of the top of the line range finders on the market and is highly rated across the board. It’s about 30% smaller than it’s previous model and much lighter which is a huge plus. One of the great things about the Bushnell is their Jolt feature. Once you lock it in on a flag, you’ll immediately get a buzz giving you the correct distance. When you turn the slop on, it gives the degree difference and slope adjustment that it made. Despite the price, I would highly recommend it. It’s pretty much what the pros use. I wasn’t able to find the Bushnell Tour V4 locally, but luckily Amazon ships directly to the Philippines.

10

Where do I get it? You can get this flask for $364 +$115 for International Shipping and Customs online here. HONMA BERES S-05 Driver

Time to upgrade your driver? Check out one of Honma‘s newest drivers, the Beres S-05. This long hitting driver was designed in a way to provide average players with much more trajectory and forgiveness when they hit the ball. It’s newly designed face, head and weight distribution allows mid-high handicappers get a better feel when they play which would lead to getting better contact. This driver is recommended for players looking for higher trajectory with a low kick point shaft. It’s for players looking to reduce their slice and give a more accurate shot. This driver also looks pretty elegant and unique in luxurious gold. Where do I buy it? You can get the Honma Beres at any Empire Sports locations. Allwin Golf Iron Wedge Club Groove Sharpener

11

Sometimes you might not need to get a new wedge or irons. Your grooves are simply dirty or a little bit worn. I had to throw this in here because it’s an essential piece of equipment that you’ll want to keep in your bag. Why? Because by properly cleaning your grooves and maintaining them on a consistent basis, you’ll find that your shots will be more consistent and will provide more spin. Plus, you’ll save money in the long run by not having to upgrade every so often. Give the gift of maintenance this year. It’s small, it’s cheap and it’ll prolong the life of your clubs. Where do I get it? You can get this flask for only PHP 457 and can be found online here. Mizuno Shoes

Mizuno outlet stores for PHP 7,995 Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x Golf Balls

13

According to Golf Datatech, the Pro V1 and Pro V1x have been the top-selling balls on the market for 180 consecutive months (through February 2016). That's every month for 15 straight years! In addition, the Pro V1 franchise has accounted for more than 400 wins on the PGA Tour since its 2000 debut. Expect Titleist to unveil new versions of the Pro V1 and Pro V1x in the first quarter of 2017, which should raise the bar even higher. Where do I buy it? You can get the Pro V1 and Pro V1x at any Empire Sports locations. Garmin Approach G8 Black

Don’t trust caddies? We can’t trust them all!

14

With the Garmin Approach, you will know the exact distance to the green no matter where you are in the course. It is really accurate and detects your exact location through GPS. It even has most of the Philippine golf courses. You can use it anywhere in the world and it will give you that extra advantage on the course in knowing exactly where to hit your ball.

Need To Get Better - Golf Training and Aids Arccos 360 Tracking System

Seriously, this really is the ultimate best golf gift out there in my opinion (as well as many others out there heehee). Arccos Golf has been around for awhile now and they produce tech items for golfers that use sensors that attach to each club. These sensors track every shot you hit and then give you your stats. Not just any stats, but tour level stats. This is for every round.

15

It will tell you exactly how many fairways you hit, the average distance to the pin on your shots and how far you hit with each club! It tells you ALL of that. PLUS it’s now half the price of what it originally launched, so now it is definitely worth buying. The problem is… they don’t sell them locally in the Philippines. However, you’re in luck for 2 reasons. The first is that it’s pretty easy to ship things directly from Amazon to the Philippines now with Amazon Global Shipping. The second is the Philippines government just implemented a no “customs taxes” law for purchases under PHP 10,000. Even if your package is a bit over, taxes have been reduced so shipping things over has gotten a lot easier. Who is it for? Someone golfs at least a few times a month and someone who actually wants to know how well they are doing. You literally get stats for every hole and every shot of every round that you play. Who is it not for? It’s really easy to use, but I guess I wouldn’t recommend it for someone who doesn’t know how to use technology at all or doesn’t care to in reference to their game. Where to buy it? You can’t buy it locally in the Philippines, but you can have it shipped here with ease by using Amazon Global Shipping. Also, the government here just implemented a no “customs taxes” on purchases under 10,000PHP. On Amazon it’s $249 + $110 for Shipping and Taxes and will come in a week. Not bad huh.

Backyard Golf Practice Hole Cup

17

Practice makes Perfect! For most of us, practicing means loading up your clubs, getting into your car and sitting in endless minutes in the car as you drive to the nearest driving range with a putting area. For most of us, our short game is the bane of our entire existence on the course. Your short game usually is the determining factor between a par or a double bogey. A putting return device in the office over carpet just doesn’t cut it. To be able to achieve success in your short game, you need to practice as much as you can in the most realistic setting, which usually means on grass. Take your passion to your backyard or garden. Stop wasting that green area outside and install your own putting green that your friends will envy. This Backyard Golf Practice Hole Cup will allow you to play and practice in the likeness of your own home. It is also unique and makes an excellent holiday gift for any golfer. Where do I get it? You can get this cup for only PHP 492 and can be found online here. Golf Pinwheel Swing Power Fan

19

23

What most people don’t really know is that golf is a game that you are play against yourself. It’s one of the few sports out there that is played without any teammates to determine how well you actually do on that round. For the average golfer, we just think the closest to par is how we can know if we are improving, but we don’t take into other factors like course rating, slope, other rounds we have played, etc. Most of us don’t take into consideration these things because we don’t know how to actually use this information. You can choose to google it or watch a YouTube video, but it’s actually really complicated in developing and maintaining your handicap score. This score is often required to play at some tournaments worldwide and it needs to be official. Having a handicap score is a great way for you to track your score, keep yourself accountable and look at your progress from previous years. Most people don’t really understand or know how to calculate their own score, so why not let the UNHS do it for you? At 37% it’s totally worth it.

Things to Put in Your Bag - Golf Accessories 24

Portable Andux Golf Power Hitting Bag

You are either looking at this list because you are a golfer and would like to buy yourself a gift or you are buying a gift for a golfer that you know . Before I got into golf, I used to watch my dad as he transitioned from what he used to call “an older man’s game.” Everywhere we went, he would take practice swings, holding an imaginary golf club. He would check himself out in the reflection of the glass of the mall stores. That’s when I first realized how important practicing is to a golfer. It’s so important, that it needs to be done EVERYWHERE and ANYWHERE. That’s why this is the best “to-go” gift. It’s not a boring one like a water bottle or a club head brush shaped like a ball. It’s something that will actually improve your game or the golfer you know anywhere and at any time. Ultimately, it’s a punching bag for you to hit with your club to improve your swing speed, agility and accuracy. You can use it anywhere. Stuff it with clothes when you are on a business trip. Blankets from your house. Towels from your gym. Really easy and compact too. Who is it for? The golfer that is in the “obsessed” stage. This stage never goes away from my observation and is therefore absolutely necessary for everyone. It is also perfect for the golfer on the go, who can’t always get to the driving range or doesn’t want to sit in traffic to get there.

25

Who is it not for? Someone who lives on a golf course or near a driving range or someone who doesn’t want to improve their swing speed from the luxury of their very own home. Where to buy it? You can get this bag for only PHP 3,200 and can be found online here. The Glove Caddie

Take your glove off when you putt and putt like the pros. With the Glove Caddie, winner of the ‘Best New Product’ Award at the 2013 PGA Golf Merchandise Show, you’ll never have to worry about misplacing your glove. Licensed by the PGA, the Glove Caddie is a small compact tool that you can attach to your belt or pants that sticks to your glove with velcro. It is also a good tool to use to air out your glove and give it room to breathe. Where do I buy it? At only 500php, it is a must have for your typical golfer. You can find the Glove Caddie at Bravo Golf, Pacsports, Pin High Golf at Villamor and Army Golf, and at the Callaway Golf store in Alabang. 10pcs Golf Practice Foam Balls

26

Most golfers like to hit balls. It doesn’t matter where they are or what equipment they are using. It doesn’t matter if they are dressed to play or if they are wearing their Sunday’s best. Anywhere, anytime. Most of us like the feel of the club connecting on that sweet spot with the ball. The thrill of seeing that ball launch into the air or for some dibble straight along the fairway is awesome. BUT...we have all seen the viral pictures people post on Facebook of golf balls breaking the window of a beautiful home that borders the golf course or the broken windshield car that’s parked in the clubhouse lot. The irony of these photos is that these people who own the houses and cars actually paid to be there! :) SO let’s avoid the potential expense of breaking your own home or office window or picture frame by getting yourself one or two packs of these soft golf foam practice balls. They are really good quality and easy to use when you are practicing somewhere other than a driving range. Where do I buy it? You can get these balls for only PHP 348 and can be found online here.

You gotta have one! Where do I buy it? You can get this putting cup for only PHP 999 and can be found online here. Mini Portable Leather Clip On Golf Ball Holder Pouch Bag

28

This is the gift for the people that didn’t want the Dueter money belt pack that we shared with you above. It’s a great solution to have quick access to balls and tees on the course. This leather pouch can easily hold up to 2 golf balls, 2 tees, 1 score pencil, and 1 divot fork. It has a metal snap closure that provides easy access and as well as a secure closure.

For the GQ Golfer - Golf Fashion and Apparel Garmin Vivoactive HR GPS Smart Watch

30

I’m not a fashion guru, but I do know that this thing looks good. For all of you that like looking good and having people compliment what you are wearing, then this is the item to buy for yourself (or your recipient of this gift). It looks good and it’s actually useful. It doesn’t just do the basics. It does everything all of your gadgets combined do. Garmin has been the top of the GPS market for over the last decade. It has excelled in its accuracy for geographical pinpointing. What they did was basically create an all-in-one watch that has a GPS rangefinder, built-in sports apps (running, biking, swimming, etc), customizable interface, smart notifications for when you want to connect your phone to your watch and best of all, a battery life that lasts up to 8 days (when not constantly using the GPS). This watch also boasts a database of over 40,000 courses and they built the touchscreen to be readable even in sunlight. This is absolutely necessary as so many smartwatches aren’t really built for using out on the course with direct sunlight and no shade anywhere except in your golf cart. Who is it for? The golfer that cares about his or her accessories and wants the accessory to actually serve a purpose for wearing it! Who is it not for? Since it is a bit pricey, I would say if you are on a budget, then you can get a basic range finder to start. Not necessary for pure beginners yet, although I think it may be useful in finding those stray balls. Where to buy it? You can get the Vivoactive for PHP 15,291 at your nearest Garmin retailer or distributor. Please call first to find availability. To find out the nearest retailer, please visit: http://ph.garmin.com/buy/retailer/

The Under Armour Web Belt is one of those things that you need to “invest” in and will be an amazing gift to receive this Christmas. I have this belt and I wear it on and off the course.

Oakley Active Performance Catalyst Iridium 24k Sunglasses

Nothing worse than not being able to blame a bad shot on the sun being in your eyes, so you might as well just invest in a pair of sunglasses that you can wear on & off the course. These Oakley sunglasses with Plutonite lenses help you play your next round with clear vision and receive a lot of compliments while enjoying a beer after a round well played below your normal score. OK, so there’s no promises here that it will make your game on the course better, but it may help your game off the course too. Where do I buy it? You can get the Oakley sunglasses for only PHP 5,950 and can be found online here. Leather Travel Duffel Bag

33

There are multiple styles that a golfer can take. Everyone needs a bag, regardless if you want to look sophisticated, classy, modern, classic or something else. When you golf, you need a lot of stuff. Change of clothes, extra gloves, balls, toiletries, wallet, shoes, sunglasses and a bunch of other things. Usually, I see guys in the locker room carrying a classic golf bag for a sporty look and I also see them forced to bring it with them into the clubhouse. The clubhouse setting is much different and we feel like our golfers need to have more options that are versatile. Golf sport bags can’t really be used anywhere else, but the course. That’s why we recommend this affordable mens leather duffle bag. It can be used for travel, business, golf and anywhere else you want to go. It’s affordable and you will get a lot of compliments on this bag. Where do I buy it? You can get this bag for only PHP 1,378 and can be found online here.

Anker Soundbuds Sports Bluetooth Earphones

After work I am Beat. Tired. Stressed. Cranky. That is why one of the my favorite things to do before I go home is to leave work a little bit early and grab a 9 hole at my local course. Just me, myself and I… oh and the caddy too. I like to wind down, breathe in the fresh air, pop in my earphones and clear my head before I go home. These Anker Soundbuds Sports Bluetooth Earphones are made just for that. Designed for sports, they will not fall out when you walk up and down the course. Nor will they get in the way as you swing the club off the fairway. They look pretty cool too and sound great. Where do I buy it? You can get these earphones for only PHP 2,590 and can be found online here.

Chuck Taylor All Star II Mesh Backed Leather

Converse has stood the test of time for their style, quality and comfort. Every man needs a basic shoe that can be dressed up or dressed down. Worn with khakis or jeans. Used in the clubhouse or before the round. It also works perfectly with polo shirts. Not everyone likes the boat shoe look, which is why we love the Chuck Taylor II Mesh Backed Leather sneaker so much. It’s the shoe that works for every man. Where to buy it? You can get the Chuck Taylors for PHP 5,510 at your nearest Converse retailer or distributor locations. Here’s a link to find their nearest location. Please call first to find availability. Solid Fluid Systems Gatsby Cap

36

Have you ever walked into the clubhouse and seen someone’s bright red arms protruding over the counter while holding an ice cold glass of beer? Tomorrow those arms will be burning, but you know what’s worse? Having a burned forehead or pretty much anywhere on your face. The common golfer will only apply sunscreen once before their round of golf starts. The common golfer sweats it off within the first hour or two. We strongly advise you wear a hat and make sure you don’t walk around regretting being without it. Better yet, pick up this Gatsby cap and look good while you’re at it. Where do I buy it? You can get this cap for only PHP 402 and can be found online here.

Golf Gag Gifts Golf Potty Putting Game

37

You probably already have an image in your head based on the title of what this gift might look like. In all seriousness though, to each his own and please don’t judge because I actually am a little partial to this gift. It’s very useful and very practical. Multi-tasking. The average man spends over 1 Hour a week on the toilet. For some people it’s even longer. Some people choose to use this time to browse Facebook, answer emails or a read a book. Either way, most people do something. Why not improve your short game while doing something you are already doing. Here’s how it works. Set up the green nicely against the base of your toilet bowl. Sit down. Grab the putter. Line up your shot and try to make it in the hole. Very simple. Very easy to use and it looks much better in a bachelor pad bathroom than your typical toilet seat cover set. This is one of the greatest gag golf gifts to give to the golfer in your life.

38

Who is this for? Everyone. We all go to the bathroom. Who is this not for? Someone who entertains a lot of guests and doesn’t want too many questions being asked. Where do I buy it? You can get the potty putter for only PHP 659 and can be found online here. 10 Pcs Joke Nude Lady Golf Tees

Talking Golf Bottle Opener

Beer. On the course. Off the Course. In your Office. At your Dining Room Table. In your living room. It’s good anywhere, but if you don’t have 2 bottles or if you aren’t amazingly skilled with your teeth or forehead, then a bottle opener is critically necessary. Why not put two of your greatest loves together. A golf ball bottle opener that talks. It says a bunch of clever one line openers with real game time sounds. It’s the ideal stocking stuffer and gift to keep around the house or at your office. Make sure everyone knows how much you love golf. Where do I buy it? P450 for the Golf Bottle Opener + P150 for shipping in the Metro Manila Area. Please contact admin@golfph.com for details on how to purchase. In the Hole - Door Mat Entrance Rug

40

This is what we call a novelty piece for a golfer. It’s actually really cool because it will remind you of that glorious feeling you get every time you hear your ball roll safely into the hole. It doesn’t matter from how far you are putting, chipping or hacking your ball into the cup, it’s still the same sound. Pure bliss. Who wouldn’t want to remember this feeling everyday? If you live in a condo, you can use this in your bathroom or backdoor entrance. Watch out for those building admins aka “thieves” of cool doormats. Where do I buy it? You can get the rug for only PHP 659 and can be found online here. Flashing Light Glow Golf Balls

41

Alright, so you probably already bought the soft balls for practice inside your home. If you didn’t, then scroll back up and go to the cool yellow indoor balls post. Now you are almost all set to practice and play anywhere except outside in the dark! Your life will now be complete with these flashing light glow balls. They aren’t obviously something you are going to hit off the tee with, but it would be great to use to practice in your condo hallway or outside on the minimal grassy areas that Manila has to offer. Hopefully you live in a house with a yard, so that you can practice your putting on uneven ground. You can also use this at the driving range practice areas. Army has a great putting area, but it’s not at all lit, so it can be hard to see. If you have these, it won’t be a problem anymore. Where do I buy it? You can get the balls for only PHP 585 and can be found online here.

For Golfers on the Go - Golf Vacations - 4 Scotland Golf and Whisky Tour

42

Alright, this probably really isn’t the type of gift that you can just throw onto your Christmas gift list.

This is one of the most cool things a golfer can get to experience in his or her lifetime. Go to Europe. Check. Try unique Whiskys. Check. Take a vacation. Check. Do something that you can post on Facebook about that will make your friends jealous. Check. Who is this for? The golfer who wants to do something different. Who is this not for?

53

You probably haven’t heard of this even though it’s been around for a lot of years because it really helps people and is absolutely essential for any golfer that endures pain in their knees, joints, or back.
