There is a commonly held belief that golf is the exclusive realm of well-off entrepreneurs and businessmen. It is also still perceived as an excluding sport that is not easily accessible to regular blue collared employees. However, this is not really true any more as modernization and commercialization have brought these so-called posh sports into the reach of everyone.

This is because there is no necessity to have expensive equipment to play a round, so, unlike big game fishing and polo which require very costly resources like a boat or a horse respectively, golfers only require a set of golf clubs, which are reasonably affordable. With this in mind, retirement gifts for golfers and would-be golfers can be easily dreamed up.

Rings have been worn by men for many millennium. Wedding bands and other styles of finger jewelry have served several useful purposes through the ages. Archers wore rings to protect their fingers when pulling bowstrings.

Men of power would wear rings to signify their status and to signify their crest for wax sealing documents. These practices are not used anymore and rings have been relegated to style and fashion. But there are still some utilitarian uses for rings in the modern day.
