Best Golf Gifts 2021: What Golf Digest editors want this holiday season

"Two picks that won’t break the bank. CBS Sports’ Kyle Porter has put together a book on the year in golf. It’s charming, nimble, astute and introspective; it’s like having a spirited conversation with a friend remembering all the crazy things that happened in the game in 2021, only if your friend was one of the best writers in sports." —Joeal Beall

"The second is a visit to Golf Print Studios, where you can find minimalist and travel poster designs of some of your favorite holes around the world. And in case any of my family members happen to be reading this, the 10th at Royal Dornoch print would be a mighty fine addition to the work desk." —J.B.

"I’ve had my eyes on these shoes for so long! Per reviews, they seems so comfy and the perfect in-between golf shoe you can wear from the course into the clubhouse. I’m loving the casual golf look lately."—Christina Parsells

"These alignment sticks are cool and different; the hickory is really unique and I love how you can customize the colors!" —Christina Parsells

If you play cold-weather golf, you have go-to layering options. But fleece-lined pants? They are a game-changer. A friend who plays year-round internet he Northeast recommended these, and they’re truly a game-changer. I haven’t found a traditional golf apparel company who makes a pair, but Eddie Bauer’s bottoms are geared toward those who work outdoors in the cold. That’s good enough for me.

"I already hated airports “Pre-Covid”. Now I have to go with all of this uncertainty going on? Would like to make the process as seamless as possible."—Jon Jacobino

$120 (was $200)

"OK, I’ll admit it. A few years ago I made my first-ever purchase of golf shoes from Costco. They were Cobra Ignites, and I couldn’t believe what a steal they were, price-wise. Better yet, they quickly became my favorite golf shoes of all-time because they are so comfortable. I walk rounds quite a bit, and my feet and legs are never sore with these. After playing, I don’t feel like a golf nerd wearing them for dinner, or the grocery store or, yes, shopping at Costco. As happens with Costco, the Ignites were a one-time deal, and as a creature of habit I’m currently on my second pair of all-black Ignites that I bought at my local golf store. Now I have my eye on the Ignite Fasten8 “Navy Blazer” and “Puma Silver” color combo that I think looks really sharp. As long as Puma keeps making ‘em, I’ll keep buying ‘em."—Tod Leonard

"This sleek duffle from Dagne and Dover is the perfect gift for someone who’s always on the go. Choose from the wide variety of size and color options to find the right back at carries all of your essentials wherever you go. A simple way to elevate your trips to the course and gym." —Maddi MacClurg

"I've been eyeing this company for a while and have yet to buy anything from them, so if I'm on your list, take a click on over to Krimson and Klover. While looking at their site, I find myself thinking 'Oh I'd wear that' to just about every sweater available, but the Alpine Alley Half-Zip Sweater really caught my eye. The retro styling is cute without being over the top, and the wool blend fabric will keep me nice and toasty dury chilly rounds." —Keely Levins

"I don't think I've worn earrings more than twice since having my husband and my first baby back in March. Those two times I tried, little fingers went straight for my shining ear lobes. My thinking is that if I got a pair of earrings that were quite small and lay flat against my ear, like these studs from Maison and Miru, then little baby fingers wouldn't be able to try to pull them out of my ear. I also don't like the feeling of wearing hoops or bigger earrings while playing golf, but I'd play in a pair of small studs like these.
