The fate of golf would seem to lie in the hands of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and the United States Golf Association. Can we expect that they will protect and reverence the spirit of golf?

The Gifts You Wish You Got: Old Tom Marker From Seamus

It's that time of year again! You've been asked what you want and you just know it's not happening. Gift cards, cologne and the dreaded golf book you didn't want could be headed your way.

However, I bring good news. Some of our favorite golf retailers are done with pre-Christmas Day shipping and offering some nice discounts. Which is where this website's annual Christmas gift guide comes in.

I continue to love everything Seamus Golf is doing, including their foray into shoes this year. But great accessories remain the strength of their Oregon-based, all-made-in-the-USA operation. So if you're looking for something fun to round out your bag and up your golf karma tenfold, Seamus Golf's Old Tom Morris Hand-Forged Steel Ball Mark is the best $29 you'll spend.

Granted, these markers wouldn't be of use to PGA Tour players who no longer see fit to mark their balls when it could help a buddy, but for those who play within the spirit of the rules, no one makes a classier, cooler and well-designed ball marker than Seamus Golf.

Actually, with the 20% off delivery code SHIPINJANUARY it'll be less. Seamus Golf is also offering us free custom stamping on the back side. Your initials or Old Tom's favorite saying, "Far & Sure", fits within the 8 character max.

And don't hesitate to check out everything offered at the website where the code will apply.

PS - Seamus Golf now will make their ball marks with your logo if you're willing to do a minimum order of 100. Contact info@seamusgolf.com for more info.
