I reviewed a number of them and found all but one of them to be much the same. You can find artwork, display cases, animal headcovers, lame joke items, or 24 karat gold plated golf cart statuary at most any site you visit. Nearly every site boasts the "largest collection anywhere". It is very easy to get bored and somewhat numb. Thankfully, the search was not fruitless.
One thing stuck out from the crowd. I strongly advise you to visit Wild Mountain Golf at http://www.golfputtergifts.com . They offer a number of interesting and unique putters, wedges, and the like made with wooden shafts. They also have the best golf gift I've come across in a long, long time. It's called the "Infinite Hole Putting Cup". Speaking as a picky golfer, I'd be delighted to receive one.
These beautiful practice putting cups, made from wood of all types and colors, are an elegant improvement on the ugly and noisy tin contraptions of years past. They are designed to promote putts struck at the optimum speed. To make the ball come to rest within the cup, it must surmount a gentle slope. To do this, the ball must be struck with enough force to carry it a foot or so past the hole. According to Wild Mountain's copy, studies indicate that this is the optimum speed for a putt. I've never done a study, but experience tells me that's about right.
That's all well and good, but what really got me excited about the product was its beauty. The laminating process the company uses allows them to use several exotic woods that are not normally considered durable. Their process makes the cups incredibly tough as well as pretty.
