Are
you part of a group of friends who are all sports enthusiasts? Perhaps, more
specifically, you are a golfing enthusiast who plays a couple of rounds at your
local golf course. Maybe it’s one of your fellow golfer’s birthday and you
would like to give him a special memento to commemorate the day. You have
considered various golfing-friendly items from new clubs and smartwatches that
analyze their swings to workout clothes and even a set of golf balls. While
these can be useful gifts, the perfect accessory for golfers – apart from
golfing essentials – is definitely hip flasks. If you
are not yet convinced, read on to find out why!
Hip
Flasks Help Build Camaraderie
Although
many people view golf as a solitary endeavor, it is very much as social as any
sport. In fact, it is one of the few sports where you can happily watch your
fellow golfers from afar as they swing, while you can have a friendly chat with
other golfers. Those shared moments as you chat about the course, the weather,
and life in general can surely be enhanced when you have a drink in hand.
Instead of drinking at a social gathering, make your otherwise mundane golfing
days a little more fun with a hip flask in hand!
You
Won’t Over Drink
Now
if you were the kind who was already reaping the benefits of the golf-whiskey
combination, chances are that you were lugging along a huge bottle of whiskey.
Here is why that may not be the best idea and why hip flasks are a better
option. Firstly, hip flasks are much smaller and more lightweight, thus it
would be much easier to transport them compared to bigger bottles. Moreover,
precisely because hip flasks are so small, they may not contain more than 5-oz
of liquid. This means that you are unlikely to overindulge in your favorite
drink. As you may know, sports and drunkenness may not be the best of
combinations. Additionally, this may even throw you off your game which might
wound your pride if nothing else!
Smaller
Flasks Are Better
Now
that you are convinced hip flasks make perfect golfing accessories, it is time
to decide what kind of hip flasks are better. Indeed, smaller hip flasks might
be superior for a couple of reasons. Firstly, a larger hip flask would mean that
more air will linger in the neck of the flask. Very soon, the air will no
longer be fresh which will eventually negatively impact the quality of your
liquor. Secondly, smaller
flasks mean less amount of beverage. While intuitively you might think
that more is better, this may not ring true in this instance. Less liquid means
that it will be consumed quickly, and you will not be tempted to save some from
between rounds. Liquor in hip flasks is designed for short-term usage.
All
in all, hip flasks – with certain “rules” – make the perfect accessories for
golfers. In fact, one might argue that they are par excellence!
