KEEP IT SIMPLE AND THINK DIMPLES ...
FOR THE GOLFER IN YOUR LIFE THIS CHRISTMAS
Friends & family desperately thinking about an original present for the golfer in their life this holiday season should look no further for the perfect stocking filler than the most obvious choice: golf balls. A survey of 10,000 golfers in the US and UK by leading internet golf gift company -- yourownballs.com - showed that golf balls were regarded as the most popular present to receive.
Over 93% of golfers in the survey said that they were happy to receive golf balls as a Christmas present. Golf balls were way ahead of golf clubs, golf lessons, golf instruction videos/books and golf clothing who each received between 60 -- 70% approval.
Least popular presents were golf gimmicks such as tuition aids endorsed by unknown professionals ("If it is such a revolutionary product, why has this guy from Austin Texas not won the Masters!" commented Jack from Tampa - USA) as well presents with Christmas logos on them (Do I really want to play in a golf shirt with Santas Swinger" on it for the other 355 days before next Christmas?" commented Steve from Phoenix- USA).
One regular complaint was golf gifts given without any knowledge of a golfers ability (As a scratch golfer, there is nothing worse than receiving a golf product that I have no intention to use and having to say thank you!" commented the slightly ungrateful Gareth from Cardiff - Great Britain).
The survey shows that golfers are very particular about what they use for their sport." commented Yourownballs.com Director Jamie Cunningham. Most Christmas presents seem to be bought by non-golfers and it can be difficult to chose the right present without advice or knowledge"
As a result, we at yourownballs.com have revised our service to cater for the non golfer buying for the golfer this holiday season. With our inspiration, ball guide and gift voucher services, it should help customers find the right gift for the golfer in their lives".
Yourownballs.com lets customers create something totally unique. Using only balls from top golf brands, the service gives customers the chance to personalise 12 golf balls with their own special message or phrase. Recent orders include Hands Off Bobs Balls", Tiger Tamer" & Please go straight...". Fancy Playing Around"; Professional Hooker"; This girls got BALLS!"; and Still Swinging at 60".
A number of famous golfers have received gifts via www.yourownballs.com since its launch in December 2000. They include French pro Jean Van Velde, former US President Bill Clinton and even royalty: Great Britains Prince Andrew! Theres also no limit to what can be printed on the balls, other than swear words/obscenities. The service will deliver within 14 working days (Orders for Christmas delivery must be received by Dec 15th). Prices start from $19.99 for one dozen balls plus delivery.
