GREAT GIFTS FOR GOLFERS




SEEN AT THE LONDON GOLF SHOW

Day Two and the 2007 London Golf Show is in full swing. The fashion shows and trick-shot displays attracted big crowds, as did the many equipment suppliers offering visitors the chance to test the latest clubs on the indoor range.

If you're coming over the weekend, try and get there as soon as the doors open at 10.00 to get first crack on the range. You'll then have plenty of time to take in the other very popular attractions. As well as the fashion shows and trick-shots, there is the famous floating green on the Thames, putting and chipping contests, remarkably life-like simulators, the tantalising holiday destinations and a dizzying array of gagdets and gizmos. Not forgetting, of course, expert tuition, the huge retail outlet and bargains all over the hall, plus endless competitions and draws offering all manner of prizes.

And if you thought golf was just about hitting a little round ball into a little round hole, check out driving bays 9 and 10, where you'll find an intriguing variation on the theme called 'GolfCross'. There's no hole, you play to a goal, and the ball is oval, not round. Seriously. Try hitting a few shots - it's a whole new experience, and GolfCross facilities are springing up all over the country.

With so much to see and do, it can be difficult to choose where to begin. You won't want to miss out testing equipment on the range, but if you're pushed for time browsing the enormous selection of product offerings on the stands, we'd like to suggest a few 'must see' items that caught our eye...

 
Accu-Length Expandable Junior Golf Clubs

Constantly buying new clubs for juniors as they grow can get expensive, but these ingenious clubs grow with your child by the safe and solid addition of shaft inserts. Bags and starter sets are available at very modest prices on stand 1490.
 
 
Hill Shot Golf

This is a brilliantly simple 'Why didn't I think of that?' product. How do you practice sidehill, uphill and downhill lies when ranges are always flat? Just turn the Hill Shot trainer to any angle and swing! Every club should have one. Stand 1855.
 
 

SealSkinz

Never again will you say 'No socks please this Christmas'. This hi-tech sock, employing materials used by the military, will keep your feet dry in any conditions, and, if you doubt that, you can prove it on stand S-19 in a tank of water!

 
 
ShaftSkinz

While we're talking 'Skinz', here's something that's completely useless but lots of fun! Using retractable sleeve technology, with just a hairdryer you can customise the look of your club shafts in a variety of colours and designs. Stand 1856.
 
 
Bionic Golf Gloves

These gloves employ strategically placed padding to cushion the areas where the club is in contact with bone. They give relief to those with arthritic hands, but also a more solid and very comfortable grip for all golfers. Try them on stand S-14.
 
 
Birdie Putting Trainer

An obsession with the hole often detracts from correct focus on the actual putting stroke. This clever device does away with the hole, forcing you to concentrate on solid, square contact. Try it out on stand 1229 - it's quite addictive!
 
 
Visiball

These stylish glasses filter out colour so that anything white stands out starkly against its background, making finding a ball, even buried in rough, quick and easy. So they save you money, speed up play, and lower your scores! Stand 1177.
