what is the worst golf gift you ever got?
While every golfer is thankful for the
thought, sometimes, like in golf, less is more.
From bling for the bag to coffee mugs covered
in tees, there are definitely some golf items
that should remain on the shelf.
We reached out to our readers to see
what their all time worst golf gifts were and
discovered that some of them were willing
to squeal on their loved ones – and perhaps
protect the 2016 Christmas tree from the
mistakes of Christmas pasts. And from the
single line items we got, Backspin staff made
a list to vote the winner. So here’s our version
of bah, humbug!
