“Each year, golfers and non-golfers alike ask me for suggestions for Holiday gifts,” says Ann Liguori, radio and television sports talk show host, golf reporter and author. “Having covered golf for so many years, I’m tuned into some the latest and greatest, particularly in golf apparel,” says Liguori, one of the original sport’s talk show hosts on WFAN Radio and the station’s golf correspondent.
“It used to be very difficult to find golf clothes for women golfers that were both stylish and functional,” says Liguori, an avid golfer. “There are now a variety of golf apparel lines for men, women and juniors that provide high performance fabrics, comfort and style,” says Liguori, an avid golfer. “0ne of my favorites is Cross Golf USA, who have an extensive line of highly fashionable golf clothes with high tech fabrics, including rain suits that feature FTX technology which keep golfers dry, warm and comfortable.”
Shoppers can order on their web site at www.crossgolfapparel.com. “They are running a promotion now – shoppers who ‘like’ their Facebook page get a ten percent discount and free shipping.”
Liguori offers several other suggestions for gift-giving:
“Donating to a charity in someone’s name is a great way to make a difference and to honor that person,” adds Liguori, who along with her broadcasting career, is the President & Founder of the Ann Liguori Foundation, which raises money and awareness for cancer prevention and research. “There are so many wonderful people in golf who are so charitable and generous. And there are so many worthwhile Foundations and charities to contribute to including Caddie for a Cure (www.caddieforacure.com), The Folds of Honor Foundation (www.foldsofhonor.org) and The Val Skinner Foundation (www.valskinnerfoundation.org),” adds Liguori.
Other suggestions:
“Club Glove makes the best golf travel bags in the business!” www.clubglove.com
“One of my favorite stores in all of Manhattan is Henri Bendel, particularly for women. “Anything from that store will surely be a hit for the woman in your life from unique jewelry, ornaments, purses, cosmetic bags, etc,” says Liguori.
Liguori also sells her book, ‘A Passion for Golf, Celebrity Musings About the Game’ and DVD copies of her interviews with such sports legends as Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams to Wilt Chamberlain and Brett Favre on her web site at www.annliguori.com “These legends talk about their success stories and passion for sports. The interviews are highly educational!”
“For those looking to take a special golf trip in 2013, I highly recommend the many fine courses in Ireland and Northern Ireland” says Liguori, who has taped dozens of Sport Innerview cable shows throughout the Emerald Isle. “Along with gorgeous scenery, historic castles and challenging and breath-taking links and parkland courses, the Irish are most welcoming and hospitable!” says Liguori. “That would be the ultimate gift for the golfer in your life!” Visit www.discoverireland.com
