Could find out what kinda clubs he's got (i.e. basic beginner or not) and get him a driver, or a bag or something?

IMO I wouldnt be impressed with a lighter, it can get lost easily no?

Cigars?

Experience day? Few laps in an Aston or something?

Edit: Scrap that, he probably won't have had a licence long enough

You mean car then?

maybe a limited edition zippo or summit? probs will cost in the region of ~£40-£60?

or maybe just a regular zippo for around ~£20 and spend the rest on some golf gear?

You can get Zippos engraved, that might be a good one?

Monkey Puzzle · 31 May 2008 at 19:35

Hmm if you want to get a good lighter Colibri and Dunhill make some nice ones.

get him a presentation set like http://www.engraversworld.com/zippo-full-spectrum-p-390.html

and then just engrave it with his name etc?

Your local engraver places should have a nice selection of zippos.
else this site has a good range by the looks of things http://www.zippo-windproof.co.uk/

If you actually use proper grammar, then it might help people slightly :confused:

shaffaaf27 · 31 May 2008 at 21:06

sorry m8s, i meant his volkswagen golf (slap's head)

benneh · 31 May 2008 at 21:30

Maybe a vintage zippo?. Something with a bit of history (<3 old zippos).

shaffaaf27 · 31 May 2008 at 21:48

i like the idea of getting it engraved.

do you think they have one with a VW sign?

Mercutio · 31 May 2008 at 21:49

Get a decently coated (either powder coating if he's likely to scratch it to hell or the chrome finish if not) zippo and whatever he's known as amongst his mate engraved on it. Thats £35/40ish worth if you get a decent one (look on the bottom, try and get one with a number in roman numerals on it, the higher the number the better the lighter).

And id think if you look on the VW site there might be one in the mechandise. If not you can get logo's engraved too.

On ebay they have some, but i doubt they are genuine articles.
Most good engravers will do you a vw sign for a price.
