Hi everyone. Basicly I am after some advice. My boss is leaving and we thought it would be nice to get him a club and have it engraved as a gift. I know very little about golf, so I'm not sure how to proceed with this idea. My first train of thought was a driver or putter (I know the rest of his clubs are Cleveland) and between us we can get him the top of their range driver no problem. But not playing myself I don't know if it's a very personal thing choosing the right club for you? We want it to be a surprise so can't ask him outright but I could ask his wife to look at what he already has. Any guidance would be appreciated. If not a club any other ideas (as golfers) for a leaving gift? Thanks in advance Chris

I second the Edel putter. It's probably something he wouldn't get himself unless he had the bug. You may have to get him a gift certificate or something since he has to be fitted. And you have to find one in his area. He has to be a golf nerd to go to the extra effort to get this done.

Edel makes a great product, and their fitting process is second to none, but it's not an extremely well known brand, even among a lot of avid golfers and may not get you the "wow" factor that you're looking for.

I'd also caution against buying any individual club, especially a putter or driver.  They're just too much a matter of individual taste and preference and it would be a shame to put that kind of money and thought into a gift and not have it used.  Instead, I'd opt for a gift certificate to either Edel (again, not that well known) or Scotty Cameron (extremely well known).  Either one will allow him to select the putter style he prefers, and to have it personalized as well.

In David's bag....

3-Wood: Titleist 910F;  15* Diamana Kai'li

I would get him an antique or special edition putter.

Something like a original Wilson 8802 -

Then I would have it tastefully mounted with an inscription. If the putter can be easily remove from the display frame it would be even better. This way he could use it once in a while.

The biggest problem with this is actually finding a real original club and not a fake.

Solely because of this problem my suggest is likely not achievable.

Byron does a great job too and he is very personal and accessible with his clientele. You won't be disappointed. Email him directly from his site and he will probably get back to you within a few hours depending on the time change.

      Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want.

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
