With more than 300 sunny days a year, the weather is near perfect for golf six months of the year. From November to March, highs in the mid-70s are the norm. Even April and May, when the desert begins to warm, are more than bearable. Palm Springs provides golfers with the perfect opportunity to play 36 holes a day. The summer season brings triple digit heat, but it also means you have a rare opportunity to sample some of the region's upscale resorts and courses for about half the peak season rate.

• You can book their Fairways to the Spa special which includes two rounds of golf and a 60-minute spa treatment
• Or you can play unlimited golf on the Pete Dye and Gary Player courses,

It's that time again, folks. The Holidays are just around the corner; I've done all my traveling for the year, well... almost, and am settling in for the cold weather ahead... nah: Mexico, The Islands and the Southwest await. But I digress, it's also time to be thinking about gifts for friends and loved ones, especially those that play golf. And most of my friends ARE involved in golf in one form or another so it makes sense to give them golf-related gifts. As for loved ones: well, they've all had enough of my golf stories for one year, so I'll need to do something different for them. For you golfers, I have a whole list of goodies for you to browse through, three lists, actually.

You can find all sorts of holiday gifts, golf related of course, by checking out my lists of of:
