The Male Golfers Twist On Valentine's Day

Hey ladies, Valentine's Day is tomorrow. Time to get out and grab those last minute gifts with which to shower your man!

Now that sounds a little out of the ordinary, right? As a matter of fact, it sounds downright ridiculous. We all know that Valentine's Day is a holiday for women. It's been marketed that way for as long as any of us can remember. Don't get me wrong, men are acknowledged on Valentine's Day, but not nearly to the extent of women.

But I'd like to do something about that. We men would like to get gifts as well! Valentine's Day is supposed to be shared. Well, let's share evenly then!

For instance, a card. Receiving a card is very important to a woman - trust me, I've learned the hard way. Well guess what...men like cards as well. So ladies, why not pickup a card to exchange with your husband? Why not start with this one?  The Players Pass card is a card that can be used all year, not just put up on your mantle for a few days.  Sounds like a nice gift, right?  Well I'm not done yet...

What about a cute little stuffed animal?  These are always popular with the ladies.  But you know what?  Men like cute little stuffed animals as well.  But instead of cuddling with them, we prefer to stick our golf clubs up their rear-ends. 



Cute right? Don't you think you're man would appreciate this as well? 

Moving on to some other popular Valentine's gifts - how about flowers?  Believe it or not, men like flowers just about as much as women do.  The only difference being that men prefer the setting in which the flower lie rather than simply the flowers themselves.  See, women will put the flowers in a lovely vase and proudly display them on a table, shelf or whatever.  Men on the other hand prefer to view the flowers in a setting such as this:




Again, it's not just the flowers.  It's the setting that comes with the flowers.  And guess what - a round of golf on a nice course can cost just as much as that dozen roses that will be dead in a few days.

But the granddaddy of all Valentine's gifts is, of course, jewelry.  The onslaught of television commercials can be mind-numbing. And drilled into our heads is the mindset that woman's best friend is a diamond (while man's is a dog).  But let's not forget that men like diamonds as well.  While a woman's diamonds may be displayed hanging from her earlobes, around her neck or draped across her wrist, a golfing man's diamond may look a little different.  No, I'm not talking about Pure Spin golf clubs.  I'm talking about a certain little Turkish diamond - specifically Cornelia Diamond Golf Resort & Spa.



Now doesn't that look like a couples resort?  It's beautiful, luxurious and exotic.  I can't think of a better place for couples to do things on their own together!  "I'll play golf, you go to the spa!"  It's perfect!

So there you have it.  A little twist on Valentine's Day.  A way to make it more of a couples holiday than just a women's holiday.  OK, so it's not perfect.  I left out chocolate.  But hey, it's an imperfect holiday.  I'm just trying to add a bit of balance.   

Swing 'til you're happy!
