Birthday Gifts for a Male Golfer

Golfers share a unique passion for the sport. Rain, frigid temperatures and sweltering heat don't keep avid golfers away from the greens. If you're seeking a birthday gift for a male golfer, consider yourself lucky. Stores, from athletic stores to supermarkets, are stocked with perfect gifts for golf lovers.

  1. Golf Magazine Subscription

    • Go to you the local market or bookstore and browse through the golf-related magazines. Pick one that best suits the golfer in your life. Magazines have enclosure cards in the middle pages that you can fill out and mail in for a subscription. If you would rather purchase your subscription by phone, a subscription-sales phone number should be listed on a front index page. You can also search for the magazine's website and look for the subscription link if you prefer to make the purchase online.

    Golf Shoes

    • Golfers cherish a good pair of shoes. Uncomfortable feet affect a golfer's game, and if your guy golfs regularly, he will eventually put some wear and tear on his golf shoes. Go to a shop that specializes in golf accessories and apparel. Ask an associate to help you pick out a perfect pair of shoes. Golf shoes are available in a wide range of styles and prices. A gift certificate to a golf supply store is another option if you don't know his shoe size or think he'd prefer to pick his own.

    Preferred Golf Club Membership

    • Consider purchasing a membership to the Preferred Golf Club for your man's birthday if he is always on the road (see Resources). The membership fee isn't cheap, but if money isn't an issue this gift is sure to please. Membership includes free rounds of golf at many prestigious clubs and resorts around the country and throughout the world.

    Indoor Putting Mat

    • Indoor putting mats allow golfers to practice their puts at home on a rainy day or inside the office as a stress reliever. He may not be on the course, but he can still practice his game. If the golfer in your life is competitive in nature, an indoor putting mat is a great gift idea --- it's both fun and practical.
