As the crisp, cool weather of early autumn gives way to the cold and wind of winter, many golfers sink into a sandtrap of depression. Spending too long off the green, they can become listless and uninspired. However, there are many ways that the holiday season can raise the spirits of even the most snowbound of golfing enthusiasts. Golf themed presents can provide both activities for the winter and something to look forward to once the fairways are again open.
Indoor putting courses have long been an ideal gift for the golfers in the family but technology is now making it possible to practice more than just the short game on a small strip of Astroturf. The PC Tour Personal Golf Simulator allows players to simulate a full round of golf on 18 of the world’s best courses. While the visual aspects of the game are on your computer, players don’t use a mouse or joystick but their own clubs. The simulator allows one to play solo, against the computer, or compete with up to four friends.
Another nifty bit of technology is the Game Trak Direct Motion Capture System, which measures swings, tracking the speed a ball is hit and the angle of the club face. This allows golfers to perfect their swing in the off season so they can hit the course in stride in spring. Electronic scorecards, backyard driving ranges, golf GPS computers and laser range finders are only a few of the many other gifts that can stuff stockings and fill up that yawning space under the tree.
Of course, why just practice on the world’s best courses on a computer? You can give the golfer you love something to really look forward to by selecting from the many Golf holiday deals available. This will allow them to put the practice to use. Finding Golf hotel deals that keep one close to the green is vital so the golfers can fit in a round before the morning mist even clears the tree tops. Fore!
