GOLF PRIDE GRIPS

Now that fall turns to winter; the official golfing season ends for most golfers in the U.S. And, if your golfer has been hitting the links regularly during the summer, it’s likely his or her grip are looking a little worse for wear. Swap out the old putter grips for a set of responsive grips from Golf Pride.

Golf Pride Tour putter grips come in both straight and tapered styles. All golfers know the right grip is essential for precision putting. So, put a set of these grips in your special golfers’ stockings and watching their putting games improve.

GOLF ORGANIZER

Golfing requires a significant amount of equipment, and, to get the best performance out of your gear, you need to keep it well-maintained and organized. The golf organizer will keep all your bulky golf gear, like balls, tees, towels, and shoes, in one easily accessible place.

Constructed from a lightweight but durable metal frame, the golf organizer has room to fit either two golf bags or a single bag and a caddy cart side-by-side. The shelving system has room to fit any other gear or apparel you need with you on the course.

The device’s sensors are now 50% lighter and smaller than the previous model, making it easier to assess your strengths and weaknesses on the course.

GOLF GLOVES

All golfers know that a poor grip can affect your play, and it has the potential to cause players serious injury. For a better grip, Pocketec has developed the Copper Tech Glove that provides superior slip resistance and requires less grip tension, soothing tired hand muscles and joints while you play.

The glove is woven with copper-infused materials for compression, and it improves blood circulation, which is vital for proper muscle and joint movement. The silicon grip technology ensures your grip never slips. It is the ideal gift for any golfer who has poor hand mobility due to arthritis or other health conditions, but it is also an excellent gift to prevent golf injuries and improve performance.

GOLF CART PERFORMANCE PARTS

A custom performance upgrade kit is a great gift for any golfers who want to spend the off-season tinkering on their carts. Kits can include performance disc brakes, tuned exhausts, air filters, and high amp switches.

The parts are designed to be easy to install with the help of these YouTube videos, and they will give DIY cart enthusiasts plenty of entertainment through the off-season.

It’s made from lightweight, stainless steel and has a stylish rounded shape that will look amazing hanging from your favorite golfer’s golf bag.

GOLF BOOK

The cold winter months may not be ideal for golf, but they are a great time to catch up on some reading. Help your favorite golfers stay inspired during their downtime with a golfing book.

The Greatest Game Ever Played is the biographical story of amateur golfer Francis Ouimet and his rival Harry Vardon, during the famous 1913 U.S. Open. It weaves together the lives of these two golfing giants while touching on some of the social issues that affected the game at the time, showing how this one match significantly impacted the world of golf.

And, if your golfing friend isn’t a reader, the story is also available on DVD for an equally inspiring and entertaining gift option.

GOLF SOCKS

For a humorous, tongue-in-cheek gift, stuff your golfer’s stocking with … stockings! Stance offers a range of high-performance golf socks in a variety of bold designs inspired by pro golf legends such as Payne Stewart, Gary Player, and Chi Chi Rodriguez, as well as films like Caddyshack and famous golf tournaments.

The socks are designed with a quick-dry, anti-odor material that not only has compression technology for improved circulation but they are also anatomically correct for the best performance and comfort your socks can offer.

HYBRID GOLF SHOES

Golfing attire is one of the highly regulated aspects of the game, but, fortunately, tournament officials and clubs are becoming more accepting of modernized versions of traditional apparel. Hybrid golf shoes take the functional aspects of the traditional golf shoe and blend them with a modern, casual design aesthetic to bring you shoes that can easily serve you both on and off the course.

GOLF APPAREL

For stylish clothes that can take you from the office to the links, look for apparel that is both high performance and fashionable.

Timeless golfing staples include polos in a variety of subtle and neutral shades, gabardine pants, soft merino and cashmere sweaters, and outerwear with lightweight insulation. Any of these hard-working pieces would make a fantastic gift and a welcome addition to any golfer’s wardrobe.

A RANGEFINDER

A rangefinder is a game changer for all golfers by allowing them to gauge the distance to the pin better, meaning they will never again waste another superb drive with poor aim.

They are even simple to use for beginners unfamiliar with range-finding technology, with just a single button push to activate it. The laser measures the course in yards, and the design is ergonomic and can be easily clipped to a belt or bag, or it fits neatly in your pocket.

CUSTOM CLUB HEAD COVERS

If you prefer to give more personalized gifts, club head covers can be customized with your alma mater, favorite team, or your initials. Headcovers offer extra club protection with a soft lining, and they come in a wide range of colors and designs to help you share a little personality on the green.

PRACTICE PUTTING GREEN

Golfers can practice their putting from the comfort of their homes with a portable putting green at an affordable price. Look for spongy materials that has been designed to mimic the natural grass on a putting green, allowing the golfer to putt both along and against the grain. Best of all, the greens are completely customizable, so you can choose the size, speed, and hole positions for superior putting practice.

GOLF MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION

If you want to give a gift that keeps on giving all year long, then a subscription to a publication like Golf Magazine is an excellent choice.

Golfers can catch up on the latest news and developments in the game, read reviews of the best gear and latest tech, and enjoy advice and tips from the most celebrated players and pros to improve their games.

In addition to the golf-specific features, the watch can also track calorie intake and expenditure, activity, and sleep, so your favorite golfer can keep in peak physical condition for the game.

GOLF UMBRELLA

Determined golfers who are willing to brave the cold weather to play a few holes are going to need some protection from the elements. A golf umbrella makes the ideal gift for the extreme golfer in your life.

Look for a high-tech canopy that resists turning inside out in strong winds and a lightweight, fiberglass frame.

SUNGLASSES

Sunglasses take a lot of punishment during the golf season, from slipping off during play to being thrown in and crushed at the bottom of your golf bag. They are, however, essential to avoid the glare of the sun disrupting your swing.

High-performance eyewear with shatterproof frames and lenses are a great gift any time of year. We recommend sticking with ones with 100% UV protection for better contrast and clarity on the course. Golf glasses are stylish and designed to fit under a cap, and, best of all, they usually come with an approachable price tag.

However, it can be difficult to get to the driving range or the course during the holidays. Fortunately, there is a training aid available that will help you to develop your alignment, tempo, and strength to add yards to your drive for when the weather thaws.
