Popular Golf Memorabilia for the Biggest Fan

By Jack Palmer

It's no surprise that if someone loves the game, they'll love golf memorabilia. There is nothing like owning a piece of history in the sport, whether it's a golf ball, golf glove, shoes, clubs, shirts, or anything else used by the pros. The best part is you don't have to play the game. In fact, this could be a big boost for your business or a great gift idea for a friend.

You'll find that many people believe golf memorabilia is tons of fun to collect. Sometimes this can work in your favor because they'll enjoy anything you get them. So when you see an autograph of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, or anyone else, it might be a great piece to their ultimate collecting puzzle. Then again, you could get one from all four and place it in a golf gift basket to enjoy. You will actually get to choose what you want in the golf gift basket.

What golfer wouldnt love to receive hand signed golf memorabilia from Greg Norman, also known as the Great White Shark and one of the best professional golfers of all time? Married to Chris Evert, the tennis star, Greg Norman made over $10 million in his golfing career, even people that dont play golf would love to get a signed golf ball with two photos framed in a plague that is sure to become a collectors item. Even certificates of authenticity come with them!

Of course, everybody knows who Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus are, so even those that dont golf would realize the value of any hand signed golf memorabilia from these legends. You can get signed golf balls, golf shoes, photos and sometimes even their golf clubs are available. They make great gifts for a special occasion like a wedding or a big job promotion for that special son or daughter in your life.

Of course, giving golf memorabilia is a great gift for an avid collector of any kind. Rare and limited edition golf gloves, flags, shoes and balls can be hard to come by, when it comes to the top professionals in the game. That is what makes hand-signed items appreciate over the years. Even antique golf memorabilia is still bought and sold on the open market for thousands of dollars.

Seriously, just look around an office the next time you meet with an executive, get introduced to a big wig, or even managers in other businesses. If you see pictures of the "Greats" hanging on the walls then you'll know they love the game. Just remember this is basically the focal point of their office. To be honest it happens all the time, which is why most companies add golf as an incentive in their bonus structures today.

Golf memorabilia gift baskets may not be as expensive as the hand-signed memorabilia, but they make a special gift, especially for that man in your life that has everything. Whether it is rare and limited edition autographed items, or a basket of golf balls, tees, golf shirt, hats and other golf items, it is hard to beat a gift of golf memorabilia for a special occasion.
