If you have a friend or family member whose favorite pastime is golf, you’ll want to give them a holiday or birthday present they’ll use on the green or at home to improve their game. If they’re an enthusiast, they likely already have a full set of golf clubs, and you may not know what other accessories and tools a golf lover would enjoy. Here are a few gift ideas that even the most seasoned aficionado will adore. 

What to Get a Golfer

1. Rangefinder or Scope

This is a sport which is played at a long distance. For better accuracy and lower scores, it helps to know exactly how far the ball needs to travel. A laser rangefinder is a fun, high-tech gadget that will determine distance. To complete the gift, add a quality scope so they’ll be able to view conditions. 

2. Practice Equipment

To help your loved on hone their short game, there are a number of golf targets, chipping nets, and putting greens available to add to the yard. Consider your loved one’s available space and choose a version you think they’ll use.

3. Maintenance Tools

For better performance, golfers should keep their clubs in top condition. By giving the gift of tools, your golf lover will keep their set looking sharp and ready for a round. Choose a groove sharpener, a club cleaning brush, or a combination kit to help your loved one with maintenance.

4. Golf Course Wear

Stylish yet comfortable clothing is a must for every game, including shoes with good traction and gloves to protect your loved one’s hands. Consider what’s missing from their wardrobe, and focus on finding durable, quality brands.

5. High-Quality Balls

To the layman, most golf balls look identical, but they’re deceptively complex items, with surfaces and cores designed to change the way they fly. The type of ball your gift recipient uses has a major impact on their game, so offer them an upgrade. Titleist Pro® balls are frequently recommended.
