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

Irons: Titleist 695cb 5-Pw

Wedges: Scratch 51-11 TNC grind, Vokey SM-5's;  56-14 F grind and 60-11 K grind

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.

    • Day 75 (15 Jul 25) - Wedge work today in the backyard.  Focused on setup and  dialing in on immediate target line point in front of club. This drill helps me to center on longer range targets for tee shots as well as approaches.  
    • I still need to do my pieces better.  Still a little steep in the downswing. Hands could get better depth earlier in the backswing.  This shot started left of target and went left. Probably path was out, face was closed a lot.       At A5, it’s probably the best it’s been.  I need to feel more shallowing from A5 to A6. Hands need to go straight down and club needs to shallow. I need to turn. I am just way too closed here. Just trying to buy time to lower the arms. Everything stalls from time to time. Timing is highly variable. Not a big fan of the slight EE.  I am just hanging back at impact.     
    • Welcome to The Sand Trap!
    • Well, on a "Bummer Note,"  I borrowed a Great Big Bertha driver, a 5 wood, and a 7 iron. I did not do very well but did shoot a 112 playing both right and left handed.   So, I decided to take a breather and play golf on my Play Station 5 and not play any real golf until the new set of clubs get her.  So, I will be back in  a week or so and bring everyone up to date.    Retired Old Man = Terry 
    • I usually just drink a beer after playing golf. I may stretch my arm out and alert the barkeep that I want a second beer!
