Not a golf gift, but here's what we've done for our clients for years. Milwaukee has a restaurant group owned by one family. Several different types of restaurants/cuisines. They have Jame Beard Award winning chefs and they are absolutely fabulous. When you buy $100 worth of gift certificates from this group, they can be used at any of the restaurants, they give you a separate $20 gift certificate that has a few minor restrictions as to when it can be used.

My Wife and I buy our clients $50 or $100 certificates and load up on the $20 freebies. Then we go out for one unbelievable night of decadence. The Italian restaurant in the group serves a menu in February or March with seasonal truffles. The last two years we have gone there during that period and eaten all the truffle specials.

OMG! Last year the risotto with black truffles and some sort of crispy pork pieces. (maybe cheeks? I can't remember) was so good I almost cried. Literally. Tears almost came out of my eyes.

Anyhooo. That's how we give both our clients and ourselves a holiday treat.

For food, since you're up north, and it's a bit of a novelty, give them a gift cert for some Texas BBQ (it's legendary for a reason) Hard 8, Salt Lick, Angelo's are all good bets

For golf balls, the Bridgestone B330-RX is a good one to give out, it fits lots of folks, and is an amazing ball. The Penta does kick a lot of butt though.

Thanks Gummi. I'll keep the BBQ in mind - not for the holidays, but for other gifts. The chocolates we give are from a small CT chocolatier - http://www.bridgewaterchocolates.com/. We try to support local businesses.
