We would like to welcome you to our web site, “Elite Golf Gift”. We will be featuring some of the best golf gifts on the planet…and some that you will be able to afford as well.
Man with Golf Bag
Golf is a fascinating (and frustrating) game. You can make a brilliant shot, and even a “hole-in-one”, and yet spend the rest of the day chasing your ball from the tee, to the woods, to the sand trap, to the lake…you get the idea. Yet, for the golf enthusiast, golf continues holds it’s charm.
The love of the game seems to defy logic in many ways. Why spend your time chasing a little ball around a field til you hit it into a cup. Why? Because it’s there, that’s why.
So, what do you get a guy or girl who insist on punishing themselves in this way? An “Elite Gift” that’s what… In this blog we will be sharing our research of what we feel are some of the best golf gifts out there, and where you can go about getting them.
Before we start the actual list of “Elite Gifts”, let’s break them down into some categories.
a) Equipment – Every golfer needs equipment. From clubs to tees to balls, there are so many types and varieties out there the choice can be absolutely numbing. We hope to help you out in the selection of these items.
b) Instruction – There are various types of golf instruction out there. The more economical versions are DVD’s and books. For those who have the means and desire, individual golf instruction is the way to go. We’ll give you some input on our ideas in this area as well.
c) Courses – Since a golfer, well, golfs…what a great gift to give him/her…some rounds on their favorite golf course. One again, for those who have the desire and means, why not get your “loved one” an airline ticket and pass to that course they have been wanting to try out all their life. Pebble Beach anyone? Four!!!
d) Tournament Tickets – Most golfers have a “hero”, someone that they look up to because of the excellence of his/her game. Why not surprise him/her with a chance to see their hero play in a tournament? After they pick themselves up off the floor from fainting, they will love you for it.
e) Novelty Items – Even golfers enjoy a good laugh now and then (just not at their expense for that ball in the water). There are a number of novelty items out there, from the subtle yet useful, to the absolutely hilarious. We’ll try to help you navigate the waters of these gift ideas as well.
So, what are these items and where do you get them? Stay tuned for subsequent posts…

We’re continuing to scan the internet to bring you the best in “elite gifts” for the avid golfer. Check these great little items out:
Golf GPS Systems
OUR PICK #1) The handheld SkyGolf GPS SkyCaddie devices are simply amazing. With the invention of satellite technology, golfers now have individual hand-held rangefinders are available for use on any golf course in the world. The beginner can use these devices to get the exact distance to the center of the green. The more advanced golfer can utilize these devices to get the distances to golf hazards and lay up areas.
Golf Clubs
OUR PICK #2) Look into the “Bobby Jones hybrid” club, which is designed for maximum performance. It has the ability to get the ball out of every lie.
Golf Carts
OUR PICK #3) The Clicgear push cart has been engineered to be the world’s smallest three-wheel golf push cart.
Training Aids
OUR PICK #4) Next on the list, the Super Stroke Putting System, can not only be used during practice, but during actual game playing as well. It is intended to be used during your regular rounds, and conforms to all the rules of the USGA. It features a special grip that (after removing the existing putter grip) you can install on any standard shaft putter. It works by reducing grip pressure, ultimately leading to an overall smoother stroke. Amateur or Professional? You can benefit from the Super Stroke Putting System. (also offered by Austad’s).
Where can you get these items?
Austad’s , that’s where. Looking for that golf gift? Look no further… Why shop Austad’s?
Austad’s is a family owned golf business that was first established as a Golf Catalog, America’s first, back in 1963. Wow 1963! Back then JFK was President, and Arnold Palmer had some competition from a newcomer named Jack Nicklaus. Oscar started the business with a simple motto “Bend over backwards to take care of the customer and they will be your friend for life”. Everyone chipped in…mother would type up the catalog, the kids would put labels on the catalog, and everyone helped pack up the orders. Even though Austad’s now operates 11 retail stores all over the upper Midwest, and have a presence on the internet, they continue to mail out this famous catalog, and focus on pleasing their customers.
Check out the testimonials and ratings their customers give them. Golfers already know that Austad’s means service. They are only one of a handful of authorized retailers for all major brands. From Callaway, to Titleist to TaylorMade to Ping, they have it all! If you’re shopping for golf, then Austad’s is the place to be!
Austad’s offers a Triple Guarantee.
a) Quality – If any product from Austad’s has a manufacturing defect, they will promptly repair or replace it.
b) Playability – If a club doesn’t improve your game, and you are not satisfied with it, you can return it for any reason within 30 days of purchase (less the 20% restocking fee…which only applies to clubs, and only if you have used them) to either exchange the club, or get a store credit. For other items, if they are in new condition you most certainly can return them for a full refund.
c) Low Price – You should not have to pay a premium for all the great service you will get at Austad’s. They will match any price from an authorized online national competitor (those listed on a manufacturer’s website as an authorized dealer).

They offer an extensive line of golf equipment, including (but not limited to) clubs, balls, bags, training aids, and accessories.
They don’t market themselves as a discount golf store, but you may find that their prices rival even the cheapest discount stores…and you get a lot of benefits. For example, their equipment specialists personally test out everything that they sell, so they know what you are talking about if you happen to have a question, or need help with your problem. They are the Authorized Dealer of the companies whose products they sell, so you can rest assured that they have the full support of these companies.
Golf Clubs
Even those who are only slightly knowledgeable about golf know that you will at least need one item…clubs. InTheHoleGolf.com offers a wide selection of golf woods, irons, wedges, and putters. More than a dozen top manufacturers of golf putters are represented by IN THE HOLE!. It is recommended that you consult a club fitter to assure that you are purchasing the “exact” club that is right for you.
OUR PICK #1) Look into “the F2 Wedge” from Face Forward Technologies, a breakthrough in wedge design that gets the club to do the work for you.
Golf Carts
For those golfers who want to walk the course, but don’t want to lug around all those clubs, they have a wide selection of push and pull golf carts.
OUR PICK #2) The “Sun Mountain Speed Cart VI” is an industry leader with adjustable bag brackets, accessories tray with magnetic lid, updated pencil, tee, and ball holders, as well as a bungee score card holder.

Golf Bags
Now that you have your clubs selected, you are going to need to put them into “something”. Why not a golf bag…they will safeguard your clubs while you play those rounds.
OUR PICK #4) For golfers who walk the course, a great development is the “stand golf bag”. Save your back, it is no longer necessary to stoop over to get your club…the bag is upright. As an additional bonus your clubs will stay dry by not having to lie on the ground. These bags can even help your game as you will be able to conserve your energy by not bending over every time you need to get a club.
For the golfer who hates to walk, but prefers to use a cart, “cart golf bags” are great. They are larger since they have more compartments, but this means you can bring more equipment and accessories along on your rounds. As an added addition, the clubs are separated by cylinders, so your clubs will no longer get tangled up or damaged when you put them in the bag or pull them out.
Golf Shoes
IN THE HOLE! offers a tremendous selection in this category. Buying the proper golf shoes is important. You want a pair of shoes that are secure, but comfortable as well. Browse their shoe section and take the time to see all that they have to offer.

Training Aids

OUR PICK #1) The “Explanar golf training system” is based around the fundamental principles of not only the swing plane, but the biomechanics of the body.
OUR PICK #2) The “Rick Smith Swing Glove” is an unrivaled product in the industry. This high quality leather glove has revolutionary wrist guide…one that will stabilize any golf swing. Within how many days of employing the Dynamics Swing Glove on your favorite practice range or golf course will you improve your game’s consistency? 2-3 days…that’s all it will take. (also offered by Austad’s).

OUR PICK #4) IN THE HOLE! also carries a complete selection of “Suunto Watches“. One model in particular, the Suunto G6, not only has the regular features of alarm, stopwatch, and calendar, but it also enables you to practice and perfect your swing as well. After each swing you check your new watch…it tells you tempo, rhythm, backswing length and speed. Neat eh? This feedback helps you to repeat your best shots on a more consistent basis, thereby improving muscle memory. Oh, and the Suunto G6 also helps you with your scorekeeping as well.
OUR PICK #5) Some people prefer to utilize simulators to help analyze and thereby improve their game. IN THE HOLE! carries simulators varying from the moderately priced to the complete hitting centers (from manufacturers such as P3P). In regards to the P3Pro in particular, the 3D golf simulation options turn it from your basic analysis tool to an incredibly accurate indoor golf simulator.
OUR PICK #6) IN THE HOLE! also offers programs for those who would like to improve their short game…especially putting skills. “Tour Links” gives you the opportunity to practice your putting in the privacy of your own home or office…on a professional putting green no less. These indoor greens are perfect for those who are serious about improving their golf game.
Golf Accessories
IN THE HOLE! offers a complete range of golf head covers to protect those precious club heads. Some are humorous…like the animal head covers. High tech golf head covers are also available.
Tees seem simple enough. They are a necessary accessory, but years of research and development has gone into them. Biotechnology material science and aerodynamic surface geometry have produced innovations in tee designs that reduce not only backspin, but sidespin deflection. Some of these new tees have rejected the traditional form for dramatically new shapes.
