      I don’t know a lot about golf specifically, but it’s an answer I’ve seen elsewhere on similar discussions, and it’s rung true every time I’ve been on the receiving end for hobbies I am more engaged with.

      It’s a great sentiment, and shows you know them, and all of that, and it’s appreciated from that perspective. But it’s usually hard to find a use for stuff someone less interested picked out.

          I’d say the other exception I probably missed is when you’re the expert way ahead of the recipient. That’s a case where you have the knowledge to give them something they wouldn’t buy themselves but can benefit from.
