If there’s a golfer amongst your friends and family this holiday season, be grateful. Golfers are always easy to buy for, and they always love to get their hands on new equipment.
Of course, there are millions of Americans in the upper half of the USA who can’t play much this time of year. But be not deterred. If you snag some shiny new equipment or snazzy apparel for any golfer, he or she will stare at them longingly until spring.
