"Wow" factor - will make a good impression  
Legendary Golf Clubs of the American East by Anthony Edgeworth & John De St. Jorre. Featuring some of the world's elite golf courses. Both the photography, the text and the overall quality of the book are unsurpassed. We also recommend the companion book Legendary Golf Clubs of England, Scotland and Wales.  

A picture is worth a thousand words - nice coffee table books  
Planet Golf or Planet Golf USA by Darius Oliver. Well done.

The Club Menu by Scott Savlov and Jon Rizzi. Menu items with accompanying recipes from many of the world's best courses.  
For the Connoisseur That Has It All  
The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses by Tom Doak is an insider's look at the world's golf courses written by an architect with brutal honesty. Not cheap, but will be well received.  

For the Japanese Golfer  
Need a gift for the Japanese golfer, client or host? What better idea than a quality golf book in Japanese. Japanese culture follows a strict structure and it is always appropriate to bring a gift. David Joy's St. Andrews and the Open Championship translated into Japanese, would make you look brilliant instead of like a gaijin.
