Holiday Golf Gift Idea

My husband LOVES the Masters Golf Tournament. Every year our house stops for that weekend. Do you have a related stocking stuffer type holiday golf gift idea that I could give him this year?

A great stocking stuffer or a holiday golf gift idea is a Masters DVD. For example, he could watch the exciting highlights of the historical 2003 Masters. Every year, the excitement for this historical event mounts and all eyes focus on Augusta, Georgia. This year was no exception as the top pros battled it out. The nail-biting climax came down to Mike Weir and Len Mattice. Watch while Mike Weir hits precision iron and wedge shots to prevail in a playoff. The 2003 Masters Golf DVD will not disappoint you.

The Masters just seeps tradition everywhere that you look. It is tradition that the first full week of April is when the tournament is played on the PGA Tour schedule. It is the first of the four "majors" to be played each year. What makes The Masters unique is unlike other major championships, the Masters is held every year at the same location, the Augusta National Golf Club. This gives the tournament a very rich sense of history as all of the greats from Bobby Jones to Arnold Palmer to Jack Nicklaus have walked the hallowed grounds of the country club.

A more coveted tradition than even collecting the large paycheck that comes from winning the tournament is the traditional gift of the green jacket. This tradition began in 1949. The green sport coat is the official attire worn by members of Augusta National while on the club grounds. With winning the golf tournament, each winner becomes an honorary member of the club.Another tradition is the Champions' Dinner. The Champions' dinner is held each year on the Tuesday evening preceding Thursday's first round. The dinner was first held in 1952, hosted by defending champion Ben Hogan. At that time fifteen tournaments had been played, and the number of past champions was eleven, including Hogan.

Your husband will love this holiday golf gift but you may not be able to get him away from the TV for awhile! HAHA

Relive A Past PGA Championship With A Golf DVD

With the PGA Championship at Oakland Hills just around the corner, this got my buddies and I on the topic of discussing our favorite PGA Championships. There were votes for David Toms gutsy play to lay up and win over Phil Mickelson in Atlanta as well as Tiger Woods over the young Sergio Garcia at Medinah.

My favorite PGA pick is the 2000 PGA Championship. This ending up pitting Tiger Woods against Bob May at Vahalla in Louisville. The back nine on Sunday was a slug-fest with each player throwing and landing the next big punch. Bob May sank a putt from just off the back of the green that somehow wiggled in to send the tournament into extra holes and more drama.

Oakland Hills has hosted many major tournaments throughout its history. Both Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer have won US Senior Open Tournaments at this course. Names such as Ben Hogan, Gene Littler, Andy North and Steve Jones have won the prestigious US Opens held at Oakland Hills. With Tiger Woods on the mend with his knee injury, many people think that anyone can win the 2008 PGA Championship.

There is no doubt that the conditions will be tough. The rough will be so high that you probably will not be able to see a player or caddies ankles. The putting greens will undoubtedly will be firm and fast. This will make hitting the narrow fairways even more difficult. Not that there is not enough pressure on these players with this tournament being a Major Championship.

VGS has many customers in different locations throughout the US such as Orlando, Florida, Tampa, Florida, Dallas, Texas, Chicago, Illinois, New York, New York, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Los Angeles, California and Louisville, Kentucky. Email us your favorite PGA Championship as well as who you think will win in 2008 at Oakland Hills!!!
