A nice box of hankies.

If you want to spend a bit more, get his initial embroidered in the corners.

Come on please tell me you're not serious...???

The guy is in his 50's, he's not a WW2 veteran, who the heck has embroidered hankies?

It’s just as a thank you my wee boy loves going for his lessons on a Saturday he really looks forward to it and the pros great with him they get on really well and my boys coming on fast in the short time he’s been going.
My son actually said to his mum yesterday if we are getting my school teacher a present we need to get the golf teacher a present too because I don’t even like my school teacher and we still get them a present lol.

I would say you have to go to school, but golf lessons are a choice you pay for.
I think a card, handwritten by the boy would probably mean more.

Isn't this exactly why (& the only reason to ever buy) a box of Cadburys Hero chocs was even conceived ?

He does have a wife so tickets might be a good shout to a show and i remember I told him i don’t drink alcohol and he said he was the same. So no booze or golf stuff

M&S gift card.
Food or wine for the wife and he can choose.

I’ll add that the pro in our life often gets a voucher for dinner for two at a nice restaurant from the parents of juniors who are dead keen and progressing well. Depends how much you want to spend.

He must be a very impressive coach if parents are regularly spending £250 on gifts for him in addition to fees for lessons.

Not £250…not even in Surrey…and not regularly…

 

[sunshine]

You’re in Surrey right? Dinner for 2 in a nice restaurant in London is at least £100 a head. Expensive world we live in

I was about to post this? Why on earth would you get your pro a present.

Teachers are a bit different they basically are childcare for your kids all day every day until they are older and shape them.

Golf pros do fantastic jobs but we pay them for the lessons.

A card is a nice gesture but a present?

This response says more about you than the OP. The young boy should be applauded for showing kindness and appreciation to his teacher.

Ah yes. In a world where we have already over materialised Christmas and have pressure to give expensive gifts thrust upon people my attuide is bad eh

Don't be such a snowflake

Nobody is pressured into anything and unless i'm mistaken in this instance, a young boy wants to buy his teacher a christmas gift. The only time you should be concerned is when the OP asks you to pay the bill.

When you resort to personal insults your view loses any sort of respect.

Refer you back to your original comment then pot kettle.

Hmm it was a statement that criticised your comment without being personal but you already knew that.

Saying something says "more about you" isn't personal? Ok then ...

Maybe think before you post next time yeah

As you said... Lost all respect for your point

But you already knew that

There's a difference to critique a view/comment and resort to personal insults.

If you think that then by all means crack on chap.

Whatever makes you feel better about yourself

Some knee length woolen socks in case he visits a club with a long socks rule.

White ones...

I recall a moment in the mid 1960 when a world famous Scottish amateur won our club's scratch 36 holer.
Big voucher to spend in the pro's shop so he asks for 3 dozen Dunlop 65's.

'Dad's a bit short on stock and he's got a big birthday coming up' he said with a wink
[His dad was pro at one of the Edinburgh courses]
A win win win for all three parties.

Nice and thoughtful of your son

Would think a card and an Amazon voucher would be good
