April Fool’s Day or not, it’s always the season for giving the gift of better golf. Here are the game-improvement gifts for every golfer questing for fun and improvement:

Top 10 gifts for your favorite golfer (including yourself):
10. New golf outfit.  You can never have too many cute outfits. If you’re not playing well, at least you will be looking good.
9.  GPS device/watch.  These help with correct club selection, distance control, and pace of play (which is a gift for everyone).
8.  60-degree sand wedge for the more advanced/intermediate player.
7. Rain gear and rain gloves. For those that are optimistic about the drought ending and a staple for the genuine golfer.
6. Golf Cornhole Game. Practice and test your short game skills while remaining the life of the party. Consuming adult beverages while playing is optional, however, they may add to (or subtract from) accuracy.
5. Furry friends/fun headcover.  To keep you happy when you’ve missed another fairway.
4. Pull cart.  Walk-off those extra holiday calories while protecting your spine, shoulders, and posture.
3. Range card for boundless practice, game refinement, and fun.  Keep your eyes peeled for Delaveaga’s holiday range card sale.
2. Golf books. Golf Sūtras and Daily Tap-Ins come highly recommended.
1. Golf lessons!  (Duh)

Whichever holiday you are celebrating, may it bring you longer, straighter drives and lots of birdies!
