Choosing the right holiday gift for a friend or family member isn’t always easy. But when that person’s a golfer, the job should be a cinch. The number of companies marketing golf equipment, clothing, and accessories grows every year. There truly is something for everyone—so much, in fact, that many golf gift-givers may find themselves overwhelmed by the myriad choices available.
Here are a few suggestions for gifts (and stocking-stuffers) that are sure to bring a smile to the face of that special, swinging someone in your life.
FootJoy Links Hoodie
With cool (if not downright cold) temperatures making their presence felt in many parts of the U.S. as the holidays approach, performance mid-layers like this FootJoy Links Hoodie come in very handy. Featuring a four-way stretch shell, its breathable fabric gives you free range of motion throughout the golf swing. And it’s equipped not just with a hood for keeping your head warm, but a front pouch pocket for warming up your hands, as well as an adjustable cinch to keep it fitting snug. Just pull it on in the morning and pull it off when the temps rise. It’s a gift that any golfer will appreciate—and it looks great both on and off the course. (BUY NOW)

Golf Life Metals Custom Ball Markers
Top Tour pros like Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Scottie Scheffler, and Darren Clarke could mark their balls with rare coins if they wanted to. Instead, they choose custom ball markers from Golf Life Metals. The company was started by Jon Millman, a Bethpage Black frequenter who saw pros customizing wedges and ended up making custom ball markers for himself, his buddies, and eventually the pros. If you can imagine it, Millman can put it on a ball marker—or divot tool. They make great, one-of-a-kind gifts for any golf enthusiast. (BUY NOW)

Titleist GT2 and GT3 Drivers
A golfer has yet to be born who doesn’t want to hit longer, straighter tee shots. Titleist’s new GT2 and GT3 drivers have taken the golf world by storm this year by delivering unprecedented performance. Titleist says they represent the “biggest material and technological leap ever in Titleist driver design,” and if you’ve hit one, you’re likely to have loved the results. At the heart of the GTs’ ultralightweight designs is an all-new seamless thermoform crown, born from a new proprietary matrix polymer advancement. The concept freed up discretionary mass, allowing Titleist to move mass and weight both forward and back to places where they could do more to promote speed and clubhead stability. Coupled with an upgraded speed ring designed to stabilize the clubface and promote on-center hits, and a variable-thickness face that helps deliver greater speed across more sections of the clubface, what you get is a clubhead that more than lives up to its hype. The GT drivers come in three models to suit players of every caliber and in lofts from 8 to 11 degrees. (BUY NOW)

Each is forged from ultra-premium materials in Japan, where Bridgestone partnered with Endo Manufacturing in Japan’s metalworking capital, home of some of the world’s most skilled and experienced clubmakers. All feature premium forged construction and precision-milled grooves. The 220 MB is a muscle-back club with a tour groove design for consistent spin rates. The 221 CB has a small cavity in the shorter irons and dual cavities in the 4- and 5-irons and a slightly wider sole for delivering the higher MOI many amateur players need. The 22 CB+ is the most forgiving model, with the dual-pocket cavity design appearing in all clubs. Meanwhile, Bridgestone’s new forged BRM2 wedges feature an innovative milled groove design with an aggressive pattern inspired by Bridgestone’s tire tread technology.
