Golf Mental Training Program
"Imagine...it's the 1st tee & you have no nerves, you have a 12 footer to win and you calmly drain the putt, you play in competition as relaxed as you do in casual rounds - confident, rhythmic, effortless golf"
He is turning 26. We live in Chicago.
He is obtaining his doctorate in clinical psychology.
He has an xbox 360 and likes challenging mission oriented games (think Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, etc.) and sports games (soccer, baseball, etc.)
He is in to technology and likes gadgets that make life easier.
He is also into watching/playing sports (basketball, soccer, golf, etc.)
We are hoping to take a trip to Europe next year (for the first time) and will need items for the trip.
I am not a very outside-of-the-box type thinker but I was hoping to get him some gifts that could go along with a theme of reliving childhood. We are going to go see Toy Story 3 in 3-D (not his ideal night out, but we have visitors from out of town) and I wanted to have some fun with the whole inner-child, 'you're only as old as you feel' idea. Any events or gift ideas that could fit the theme of the evening would be very appreciated!

The most popular sports in the US are basketball, football, baseball & golf. Mostly males play & sports are a source of major competiton & aggression b/w the players and the crowd.
Symbolically speaking why are all the big balls brown and small balls white?
I know it's sounds weird, but it's a theory in psychology.
The Kobe Bryant scandal and the Michael Vick scandal didn't really affect the image of the sports of basketball and football, respectively - their actions brought repercussions on themselves at a personal level.
But golf is different than those sports - it has more of a gentlemanly and classy image. So, will this Tiger Woods scandal bring down the sport of golf in a way? Or, do you think that it'll be the same as Kobe and Vick scandals, in that it won't affect the image of the sport of golf?
