It’s always a challenge to buy gifts for golfers. As a personal game, each golfer has their own set of clubs they prefer, own brand of golf balls and even specific tees. However, there is one thing most golfers do enjoy and that’s a tipple on the 19th hole.
For a gift that will go down better than a pint of the finest ale, look no further than these incredible watering holes after a round with your partner or mates.
