Darth Vader has VERY special skills playing golf

With the Holiday Season approaching, it’s time to start thinking about what to get the golfer in your life. Most sport enthusiasts like to pick out their own equipment, so you can always give a gift card from a sporting goods store. However, a gift card isn’t very imaginative or memorable. Why not shop for a funny golf gift this year? You can find many websites that offer unique gag gifts for golfers. Novelty golf balls with funny sayings are a practical gift that’s sure to get a laugh. Funny golf trophies, tee shirts and hats also make good gifts. To find a funny golf gift, start by visiting the WannabeGolfer website.

One of the latest trends in golfing is a new twist on an old tradition – walking golf. Many high-end golf courses in Arizona, including Troon North, are supporting golfers who want to get more benefit from the game by walking between holes. Arizona is the perfect place for walking golf, with great weather throughout the year.

Golf equipment designers are paying attention to this new trend and coming out with lightweight golf bags that are perfect for walking golf. Golf bags that weight between 3 and 6 pounds, have double straps and a built-in stand are perfect for walking. The Nike Xtreme Stand bag shown here is a good choice for a walking golf bag.

Despite the proliferation of high-end golf carts, the U.S. Golfing Association has endorsed walking golf. David Fay of the USGA has stated that golf carts are actually detrimental to the game. Walking golf can be an important part of any golfer’s fitness program. To find out more about the USGA Walking Program, visit the U.S. Golfing Association website.

Troon North golf course offers the premier Arizona desert golfing experience. Located in the high Sonoran desert outside of Phoenix, Troon North’s Monument and Pinnacle courses are ranked as the top two daily fee courses in the state of Arizona. Troon North also features a Callaway Performance Center and a 37,000 sq. ft. clubhouse.
