Best Golf Gifts: Ideas for golfers who have everything

SPONSORED

The great thing about having a golfer in your life is that they can be easy to get gifts for. Unfortunately, non-golfers sometimes whiff by giving a golf-themed tie or a similar golf-related gift that has the recipient half-heartedly saying: “Oh, that’s nice.” Perhaps worse is giving golf balls that don’t stack up to a player’s needs. Here’s a helpful tip: You can’t go wrong giving the golf ball played by the most touring professionals and everyday golfers alike—the Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x. Not only do they offer tour-quality performance on the course, they make for a tour-quality gift, too.

This portable Bluetooth speaker splits into two pieces, so you can have one in each cart to coordinate tunes during your next round.

A durable travel bag is great for those traveling for golf now, or whenever they hit the road again. It comes in five color options, but this yellow one would be the easiest to spot at the airport luggage carousel.

Getting socks for the holidays is one of those traditions we love and hate. It’s usually not an exciting gift to unwrap, but everyone could use a new pair of socks. Infuse a little more excitement into the annual sock-gift with this quality pair from lululemon. Available for both men and women, and in a variety of heights, these socks are breathable, have a ton of cushioning and are built to last.

North Carolina neighbors, Stitch and Byrdie Golf, teamed up on a collection of fun and stylish headcovers just in time for the holidays. The fairway wood headcover features the cheeky phrase “Under Par & Over Dressed” in colorful embroidery that will look great on any bag.

If he’s the type of golfer that has everything, give him a subtle-yet-unique patterned golf shirt to mix into the wardrobe rota.
