What golf club would I want to get for my husband as a special gift for his birthday?
He doesn’t get a lot of time to golf (maybe 8 times a year) but is good at it and really enjoys it when he gets the chance. A medium priced driver would be what I’m looking for…any suggestions?
Get him a putter. Everyone wants to try a new putter and he can practice in the living room.
There are many good drivers medium priced, I’ve listed a few below for you.
TaylorMade Men’s r7 Draw 460 Ti Driver
Buy new: $199.99
TaylorMade Men’s Burner 460 Ti Driver
Buy new: $195.00 – $299.99
Callaway Big Bertha 460 Driver
Buy new: $199.99
Cleveland Hibore XL Driver
Buy new: $149.99
Taylor Made R 510 for 69.99
You can also look into getting a hybrid for him which are good long distance clubs you can hit out of the rough, etc.
Every golfer looks at drivers and putters. We all want to bomb 300 yard drives down the middle of the fairway, and we all want to sink 30 foot putts for eagle. The neglected club in the bag is typically the wedges. If I had to suggest anything, look in to a new wedge or two. Here are some pretty nice ones that you may want to look at:
Taylor Made Z-TP 119.99
Titleist Mens Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can Wedges 109.99
NIKE Mens SV Tour Black Satin Wedges 99.95
All of these have a 30 trial period from TGW.com, however I have played them all and can’t find a thing wrong with any of them. I endorse nike so naturally I say go with those. The Taylor Made’s definately have the best feel that I have ever had though. Good luck with your search and happy shopping

Inferno Titanium Complete Men’s Golf Club Set with Bag about $109.95
I purchased the Inferno Men’s Golf Club Set with Stand Bag, and am pleased with my purchase. While I am by no means an avid golfer, the price for a set of clubs with the bag is great for those casual players or those on a budget. The clubs are well made and comfortable to use for an entire 18 holes.
There are many brands and types of Drivers available in the market. New and used Drivers at a wide price ranges. Moreover, A Driver is very personal feeling and loft at 8 to 11 degree. Hence, suggest that you indirectly check with him and find out his prefer before you purchase as a birthday gift for him. Otherwise, it may not suitable or he may not like it after you bought.
Medium priced drivers nowadays are generally in the $300 range. Be sure you know what loft (how many degrees of loft are on the clubface) & shaft flex (regular or stiff usually) he likes.
Here are a few good bets, all of which are between $279.99 & $299.99:
– Nickent 4DX D-Spec
– Callaway FT-5 Neutral driver
– Cobra X-Speed Pro Deep Driver
– Cleveland HiBore XLS Driver
– Taylor Made r7 Superquad Driver
– Taylor Made Tour Burner Driver
– Titleist 907 D2 Driver
Take him to a golf shop and let him choose what he wants, he might already have something in mind and just not willing to buy it. Better yet, a gift card from a golf shop with enough to buy a $300 – $400 club.
Buying a club can be a personal thing … size right; feel of the grip, similar weight as his other clubs …
But if he only gets out 8 times a year, let him work on some basic skills at home.
1/ A Practise net for driving allows him to practise his swing and the ball only goes as far as the tent like structure.
2/ A Chipping net allows him to work on some of his short game skills,
3/ and an automatic putter returns balls to him while putting on the carpet inside.
All 3 together would be about the price of a medium club or less, and he gets to use them more than 8 times a year.
PS Happy Birthday Hubby !!!
