One of the biggest mistakes the uninitiated buyer makes is trying to pick equipment for a golfer: a real golfer much prefers to pick his or her own. If you're on a budget, pick up a copy of 1001 Golf Holes You Must Play Before You Die (Cassell Illustrated), edited by Jeff Barr, price 19.99, which should produce severe wanderlust and get them booking a golfing holiday next year. Moving on, pick up a general voucher for somewhere like McGuirk's golf shop (www. mcguirksgolf. ie) or Golfworks (www. golfworks. ie) where they can pick up whatever they fancy. You could also buy them a golf lesson at some spectacular club, like the Heritage in Killenard, Co Laois, (www. theheritage. ie; tel 05786 45500) from 60 for 45 minutes. Really want to push the boat out? Get them green fees for two in the K Club, Straffan, ideally followed by a slap-up meal. Prices start at 160 per person, for non-residents. www. kclub. com
