Oliver Hardy was a keen golfer in life, Stan Laurel preferred fishing

An American golf club came up with this to market their beginner golf courses to younger girls. Not entirely sure it works but I did discuss a similar idea once with a golf club owner. He wanted to bring a lot more people into the club, and was willing to diversify his business. It was around 2013 when Disney’s Frozen had just been released and had garnered an almost obsessive interest from young girls. I suggested   having a campaign in the local shopping mall with Disney Princess actresses dressed up as Elsa and Anna bringing families into the club which would be lit up like this. I think golf businesses need to get creative and think outside the box.

Disney has made its mark on golf with its affiliation to Arnold Palmer Golf. At Walt Disney World in Orlanda there are four courses, one of which used to host a PGA Tour event. In Disneyland Paris there are 27 holes laid outside the main complex, and last year hosted the Junior Ryder Cup.

This past Christmas I received a good golf gift from my cousins, who are both antique dealers. It was a set of silver golf tees from the 1920s which I will treasure.

But there are some really bad golf gifts out there. Here are some

Tiger Woods announced today that he will play next week at Torrey Pines in the Farmers Insurance Open. He has won the tournament 7 times and won the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines, the most recent of his 14 major titles. He tied 23rd last year after surgery to fuse his lower spine. It will be his first PGA Tour event since he won the 2018 Tour Championship last September, his 80th PGA Tour victory.
