The best golf gifts might be the easiest to check off your list. Is there an annoying someone in your life who practices their swing while waiting in line at the grocery store, plans trips to the green like they’re destination weddings, and says things like “be the club!” watching TV on major Sundays? We’re sorry, and good news: that person—a headache any other time of year—is actually the least frustrating to shop for when it comes to the holiday season.
Mostly that’s because golf is a hobby that demands a lot of stuff: clubs, cleaning tools, covers, what have you. And that’s before we even get into on-course attire—a genre that, like the game itself, is currently enjoying a booming renaissance thanks to a new guard of upstarts brands injecting the sport with a jolt of extremely anti-country club energy. All of which presents endless opportunities to cop the golf fanatic closest to you a spiffy piece of gear they don’t already have in the bag. Whether they’re an aspiring tour pro, perfectly content with their 30 handicap, or just eager to give their pickleball racket a break, any of these picks—the absolutely best golf gifts on the market right now—will put a smile on their face the next time they tee up.
