If you’re like me, you’re totally still shopping for the holidays… and you probably will be right down to the wire. To that end, let me make a quick gift suggestion for the fun loving golf guy in your life.
It’s a unique boxed set called the Perfect Day Club Survival Kit and it’s the invention of a self confessed golf nut who also has a passion for the perfect martini. The set comes in a cute gift box featuring the perfect day mascot, Joy (she’s the little gal in the martini glass).
