Golfers love their sport. They love to play it, they love to think it and they love to live it. They can do this by designing rooms that have golf themes. There are a number of ideas that golfers can use in order to make rooms in their houses have that golf-course feel. Your guests may love it or they may not, but remember you are doing this because you're a golf fan and it will please you.
Golf Hat Tree
If you are a golfer who has been able to play at courses throughout the country, you may like to collect golf hats from each of the courses you have played. You can create your own hat sculpture by creating a hat tree. Put each of the hats that you have acquired on your golfing sojourns on a "tree" in your front room, vestibule or living room. It will be a sure conversation starter for visitors to your home, especially those who play golf.
Putting Room
You may not be at the course, but you can still practice your putting stroke. You can put your own artificial turf green in your rec room and you can even install your own hole. Then have fun practicing putts that are 10 to 12 feet away.
Golf Curtains and Rods
You can get creative by hanging curtains with golf designs in your living room. You don't have to use standard curtain rods, either. You can take two long irons and bond them together in order to make an attractive curtain rod that is also a conversation starter.
Golf Art
Even those people who are not big golf fans may love golf art. Pictures of the great courses like Pebble Beach, Augusta National and Bethpage Black will inspire you to get back on the golf course, and their visual beauty will turn on even non-golf enthusiasts. If you have had the opportunity to play any of these courses, you may want to include your scorecards placed strategically at a spot in the lower corners of those pictures.
