Merry Christmas to Me

Dec 26, 2005 @ 01:14 pm by Nigel Da Costa

Christmas has once again come and gone and once again I have gotten some golf presents that I really didn’t need. It has become a ritual each year that someone in my family visits Golftown and picks up some novelty gift for me. That being said, other members of my family aren’t golfers so they genuinely are proud of themselves for their efforts and I always show my appreciation. This year’s gift was a golf ball connected to a steel spike by a string. “This way you can practice in the backyard and won’t need to spend all that money at the driving range” I was caringly told.

The thought was genuine so I really appreciated the gift but since I knew I was going to get a present of this nature, I decided to spend some time at Golftown the week leading up to Christmas and people watch (and look for a few treats for myself). I immediately noticed how many people in the store weren’t actual golfers but just there shopping for golfers. What really caught my attention was the number of people who were looking at these ‘novelty gifts’ with real interest. That really got me thinking that there were thousands of other golfers out there who were going to get the same gift I got this year.

Anyone else get anything good this year or any of the previous years?
