I have been asked to have a look at a new golfing idea. It looks like a hot golf gift idea to me, but I'll find out soon.

I got an email this week asking me to take a look at a new idea that's just come on the golfing scene. It's a golf gift that looks like a pretty good gift idea for either men or women.

Luckily they're sending me one to have a look at so I'll report back once I've taken a look.

The idea is pretty simple, but like all simple ideas it took a little lateral thinking to come up with it. It's a golfers belt. It looks great. It comes in real leather, with a stunning looking golf logo.

But it's functional too. Ingeniously hidden, as far as I can see from the photos, is a divot tool and a ball marker for when you're on the green.

It looks like a wonderful golf gift for a golfing man. When I've got it in my hands I'll have a good look and see what I think, and let you all know. Shouldn't be too long.

In the meantime if you want to check it out yourself you'll find it at Thru The Green. Read more

Golf gifts are extremely popular. Men love golf and so many women look for golf gifts for their men because they know a good golf gift always works.

There's all sorts of golf gifts, many of them unusual, funny or gag golf gifts. Nothing wrong with that, I love a good joke and I have written about a good golf gag gift before.

But there are also some very good and useful golf gifts for Christmas and birthdays, and I prefer a gift that's useful more than just a good laugh.

So here's an idea for a golf gift that's a little unusual, but a great gift for a golfing man. It's useful and should help him improve his handicap.

It's the Face Forward Wedge. Now if you're a golfer yourself you'll notice if you look closely that it looks a little different from the side than you may expect.

Rather than try to explain it I'll quote directly from the website.

" The new Face Forward Plus wedge positions the hosel about 3/4 of the way up the face, way back from the leading edge of the club. So the face is thrust forward, promoting clean contact before grass (or sand) can grab the hosel and close the face, as with ordinary wedges. New Cavity-back design gives you a can’t-miss sweet spot and extraordinary feel."

I am one of the worlds worst golfers. I love it, but I can't play. I lose ball after ball. Luckily my dad gave me a bucket of them a while back, and I'm fast getting through the bucket of golf balls.

So when I came across this golf gift I just had to write about it here, because it's a golf item I need. And if I do then I'm sure plenty of others do too. This has to rank right up there for amazing and unique golf gifts.

Golf ball finding glasses. Now if you play golf you'll know how difficult it is to find a golf ball when it's in the rough. Even just some long grass and those balls just seem to hide themselves. For some reason a golf ball becomes invisible when it doesn't want to be found.

So any gift that helps him to find his golf balls when he loses them has to be worthwhile. The perfect golf Christmas gift or birthday gift.

Apparently the way the glasses find those pesky lost golf balls is by blocking out the long wavelength light. The long wavelength light is the light from dark colors like brown and green, the things that golf balls like to hide in.

And they allow short wavelength light through. Short wavelength light is light from light colors, like white. Golf ball color. So you you can see the white golf balls hiding in amongst the grass and shrubs.

The other day I spent quite some time on the golf course. More than I intended. Not because I played more holes than I intended, but because I left my 7 iron in the grass.

I got to the next spot where I needed my 7 iron and there I discovered the problem. I had no 7 iron to use.

I knew what I'd done because I've done it before, I'd left it behind. It isn't the first time. And of course you can never remember exactly where you left it so you have to retrace your steps until you find it, if you do.

If you left it on the last hole then it's not too bad, but if you left it 5 holes back it can put a real hole in your day looking for it. And it's embarrassing telling your friends to play on without you while you look for your club.

So when I came across the Club Out I immediately knew I had to write about it here as a great golf gift idea for a man who's a little forgetful.

Golfers are always trying to learn how to play golf better. It seems to be an obsession, they are never happy to play their usual game. There's always got to be something to improve, and so for anyone looking for a good mens gift for a golfing man, a golf gift that helps him improve his game has got to be a winner.

Of course there are all sorts of books, most very good, to help him. And one of the best golf gifts to help him improve his game is golf lessons. Golf lessons with a good golf pro are always extremely useful.

However there are other things he can do to help improve his game, and practice has to be right up there. Of course there's nothing wrong with getting out there on the course and playing golf, that's great practice, and fun too.

But for many golfing men, actually playing golf is not something they can do as regularly as they would like. It takes a few hours to play a round, and they would often like to practice for a short time each day when they don't have enough time to play.

And it usually isn't so easy to practice at home, you don't want to be breaking someone else's windows, and so it's necessary to set up some form of system that allows him to practice his strokes without actually hitting the ball very far.

This usually involves nets. A very effective way of practicing. However there is another way to practice hitting a golf ball without actually hitting it anywhere at all, and it also gives him extremely valuable feedback on his errors and how to correct them.

It's the Swing Groover II Electronic Golf Coach and Analyzer and it makes a great golf gift for a golfing man.

You can see from the photo, it has a tethered ball which he hits as normal, but which doesn't actually go anywhere. And when he hits it an inbuilt computer analyses the shot and tells him exactly how it went, and offers feedback on how he hit the shot.

For a woman with a golfing man there's nothing better to find than a new and innovative golfing gift for him. Thinking of another furry golf club cover for his favorite wood? Boring. Been there, done that.

How about a bunch of new golf balls? ???

How about a golf ball with a difference? One that will give him hours of fun with his friends on the golf course? The perfect golf gift with a difference - a radio controlled golf ball.

It looks like a real golf ball. But it's rechargeable and you control it. By means of a small controller you make the ball go where you want it to.

There's a little gyro inside that responds to your commands through your controller. Want the ball to do a curve and drop into the hole to execute an impossible put? You can. Read more
