Top 10 Gifts to Buy a Golfer

There are great gifts at every budget point.

With the holidays approaching, let's take a look at some of top gifts that are sure to please the golfer on your list. From stocking stuffers to surprises under the tree, there are plenty of great gifts for links lovers at every budget point. Here are 10 of our favorite golf-inspired gifts. 

1. A new golf club - Every golfer has their preferred club manufacturer. If your golfer needs a new nine iron, they'll be grateful to receive one. If you are not sure what type of clubs your golfing friend prefers, it's best to skip this gift as most golf fans have serious opinions on clubs. 

2. Travel bag - If your golfing fan takes their clubs on vacation, a sturdy golf bag makes a great gift. Look for a wheeled golf bag that is tough enough to withstand airline baggage claims and rough handling across the globe. 

3. Golf travel guide - Along with a travel bag, give a golf travel guide that outlines some of the best links in Europe, Asia, South America, or the U.S. Handy for armchair travel as well as vacation planning, this can be a practical present.

4. Gift certificate - Not sure what type of equipment or clothing your golfer needs? Cover your bases with a gift certificate to a sporting goods store where your golfer can pick out his or her own gift.

5.Golf jacket - Freshen up your golfer's style with a smart golf jacket that will keep them warm in inclement weather. 

Professional lessons are always a much loved gift.

6. Lessons - No matter how good a golfer's game is, professional lessons are always a much loved gift. Whether it's picking up a new tip for putting or perfecting their swing form, your golfer can learn a lot in even one lesson. If you're feeling flush, spring for a weekend at golf school. 

7. Custom golf balls - Need another stocking stuffer? Have golf balls customized with initials, a date, or a special symbol. Your golfer will always know which ball to claim and the customization says you care. 

8. Shoes - Golf shoes take a beating every game. If you know what size shoes your golfer takes, pick up a pair of spiffy golf shoes to get him or her ready for the golfing season. 

9. Sunglasses - Polarized sunglasses reduce the glare, making it easier to stay on course in sunny weather. 

10. Golfing magazine subscription - Stuff their stocking with a new magazine subscription that will teach them tips to up their golf game. Golf and Golf Digest are two well-loved picks.
