A Way Too Early Guide to Golf Gifts for Holiday 2022
Maybe you haven’t bought your pumpkins yet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get an early start on your golf gifts shopping for the coming holiday season. Not only is it a favor to your future self, it’s prudent to shop early given the logistics and inventory issues many online stores will experience as we head into the prime gifting season.
We created this way too early gift guide to populate your list with great gift ideas for the golfers closest to you. The earlier you buy, the better off you’ll be – from a stress management and availability perspective. So let’s get into it!
Personalized Golf Gifts
Few gifts can match the power of personalization. Done right, a personalized golf gift shows the receiver that a lot of thought was put into their gift. And few things are nicer than the knowledge that someone you care about was thinking of you.
Personalized Golf Club Finders
Play enough golf, and you’ll eventually leave a club behind. Mitigate the damage of this very expensive mistake with these personalized golf club finders to ensure the safe return of any wayward stick. Made in the USA, they can be engraved with a name or initials to give a custom feel to every club in their bag.
Simply pop them into grip, and voila: clubs that look like a million bucks.
These handsome Club Finders add some personal, trackable pop to every club in the bag, with deep engraving and lightweight design that won’t wear off or change their swing tempo. Available in four finishes and text colors to match any golfer’s taste.
Caddy Organizer
What golfer (especially dads) doesn't appreciate a strong piece of organizational technology? This caddie case from Platypus Golf was designed with convenience in mind, featuring a “hinging glove shaper” that keeps a glove from drying and shrinking, elastic loops that hold your tees, and magnets that keep divot tools/ ball markers at the ready. All this, and it can be personalized with the receiver's initials.
The Platypus Caddie Case will help get your favorite golfer from the parking lot to check-in at the pro shop with ample time to hit the practice green, brush up on their golf course strategy, and most importantly, stock the cooler.
Personalized Divot Repair Tool
Every golfer needs one, and too many rely on broken tees. This holiday season, class up your favorite golf lover's kit with a personalized divot tool and hat clip golf ball marker set. Even if they already have one, we can guarantee they won’t be favored over this handsome pair. These personalized beauties will set any golf lover's game apart with an engraved divot repair tool, magnetic hat clip, and three interchangeable magnetic ball markers.
These tools won’t necessarily help someone's handicap get any better, but they'll definitely look more professional out on the green. Plus, every time it gets used, they'll remember that somewhere out there is a person who loves them, and that’ll pick up any golfer no matter how bad a round they're having.
The Trio Plus Up
If the golfers in your life are anything like me, the divot repair tool is in good shape, but the ball markers got lost ages ago. Whether at the bottom of a bag, the trunk of a car, or the crevasse in a seat cushion, they can be as hard to keep around as a tube of chapstick. This year, replenish their supply of putting green conversation starters with this trio of personalized magnetic golf ball markers.
Pair the divot tool and ball marker set with other holiday golf gifts.
Personalized Golf Socks
The ultimate stocking gift, a pair of socks is the bane of childhood holidays. However, one perk of adulthood is knowing how awesome a good pair of socks can be.
Up the ante this holiday season with these custom printed golf socks. Not only will they get plenty of use out on the course, but the receiver's game might even benefit from the personalized vibes of their "lucky" new golf socks.
Combine them with a dozen customized golf balls and be the stocking-stuffing hero you were born to be.
Collectible Displays Make Great Golf Gifts
People who love to golf tend to be fond of all aspects of the game: from the joy a great shot brings, to the experience of a first round at a bucket list golf course. For these avid golfers, consider a gift that showcases their greatest golf memories. A high quality collectible display case can proudly exhibit anything you can imagine, from golf bag tags, and divot repair tools to golf pencils. Their handsome hardwood construction exceeds the expectations of the most discerning design tastes and will proudly display a lifetime of golf mementos.
Golf Ball Displays and Racks
You certainly can't golf without a ball, but is it possible to visit a dream course without buying a commemorative golf ball? In our experience, it isn't, so the solution is simple: show them off. A custom golf ball display is a handsome addition to any office, man cave, or Zoom background.
Given their shape, golf balls can be difficult to display, so having a purpose-built wooden shelf or wall mounted display can really elevate the look – and even the significance – of a golf ball collection. With the addition of an engraved brass placard, this is one of those gifts that can last for generations.
Hole in one Display
For a golfer who might have celebrated that rare and incredible feat of a hole-in-one, consider helping them feature it in style (and make sure they’ve registered the ace on the National Hole in One Registry). Make their HiO a conversation starter at home or in their office with a commemorative award – from accessories to certificates and desk/ shelf awards. If they saved the legendary ball, turn it into a trophy! If they were still in shock and duffed it into the woods on the next tee, all is not lost. Simply choose from any hole in one accessory.
From stocking stuffer to meticulously curated custom display, you can't go wrong by showering attention on such a celebration-worthy golf shot!
Pin Flag Display
Another great gift for nostalgic golfers is to purchase a pin flag from one of their favorite courses (or one that they won't shut up about visiting recently). Most courses, and even tournaments, of note will have pin flags for sale, so give it the respect it deserves with one of our customizable pin flag displays to create a gift that is incredibly special. This is a great gift for any collector on your list, as the frame can be used again and again (imagine changing it to coincide with every major PGA tournament!), especially if they’ve been working through all the great golf courses in their region. When they unwrap a memory like that, as gifted by you, they’ll probably forget all of the other gifts they got that day.
Great Golf Memories has quality display cases for anything you collect!
Golf Club Display Case
Golf gift scenario #1: One of your parents has a dirty old club they’ve been using for years. Perhaps a specialty club, or an old wood, it’s one of those quirky little comfort clubs that they think they hit a lot more consistently than they actually do. Whether it’s the feel or nostalgia, sometimes it can be tough to get rid of an old workhorse. Personalized golf club displays are the perfect way to help them retire that old utility club in style, especially if you’re giving them a shiny new one to replace it. They’ll be able to take it out of the bag without getting rid of it, creating a family heirloom that will last lifetimes.
Golf gift scenario #2: A lot of third generation golf families will have an old bag kicking around somewhere in the garage, shed, or attic. They’ve changed hands a few times, but throwing them away or donating them to a second-hand sports shop seems a cruel way of erasing the family’s history. If you know of someone in this situation, consider gifting something like this three golf club shadow box display, which can be personalized with important details to help properly memorialize their original owner.
Masters Merchandise
The Masters tournament is one of the most hallowed weekends in golf – a tradition unlike any other. For millions of people from around the world, it’s their favorite harbinger of spring. The greatly anticipated first major of the season features the best golfers on the planet playing rounds on what must be a facsimile of the Garden of Eden. If somebody on your list has Georgia on their mind, consider giving them some authentic Masters merchandise. Whether it’s a Masters hat, performance polo shirt, garden gnome or the official Masters tournament journal, there’s something for everyone in our collection.
Masters Apparel
For some Augusta die-hards, buying official tournament merch can be a risky play. Maybe they have a tradition where they buy the journal, or the gnome, or a pin flag every time they get lucky enough to step onto the hallowed grounds. In that case, the safest bet is probably a piece of Masters Apparel. It's hard to go wrong buying a golfer/Masters aficionado a polo shirt, hat or a visor with that instantly recognizable Masters logo. And what dad doesn't need something "fancy" to wear for Friday date nights? It's a no brainer.
Masters Accessories
If apparel isn’t what you seek, you can still bring that Augusta green to your holiday giftees with some fabulous accessories. This Masters Shoe Bag is a great way to organize your golfer’s trunk (and keep it clean and free of turf), and pairs well with the classic Masters golf towel to keep clubs clean between shots.
Every fan will appreciate warming up for a long day of coverage with a cup of their favorite hot beverage served in this handsome Masters green ceramic coffee mug. Then change over to afternoon cocktails kept perfectly cold in a 24 oz Masters corkcicle tumbler, perfect for armchairs and cart cup holders alike. And for an easy stocking stuffer, these Masters bottle openers will get plenty of use in every home bar, college dorm, or tailgate cooler.
For those with artistic inclinations, our collection of Augusta Fine Art is your ace in the hole. Featuring iconic holes from Amen Corner in options from wrapped canvas to framed canvas, these pieces of golf art will look just as good in a man cave or office as they will in your living room. What golfer doesn’t want to enjoy Augusta year round?
Authentic Masters Merch is the Christmas equivalent of a kick-in birdie.
Golf Barware Gifts
Some golfers find their peace on the field of play, others achieve calm when they return home to enjoy the first sip of their favorite golf cocktail.
Golf Decanter Set
This stunning decanter and glass combo will really set a home bar apart from the field. With a 100ml decanter and pair of old fashioned glasses that are dimpled to resemble golf balls all perched atop their own personal patch of turf – few things could warm a spirit-drinking golfer's heart more. This Golf Ball Decanter and Rocks Glass Set will really make any 19th Hole the perfect oasis from the stresses of the world.
Personalized Golf Coasters
A good drinking experience starts with a good set of custom coasters, and will keep unsightly rings from forming on your furniture. These handsome bamboo coasters can be engraved with a golfer's name, their favorite course, or if they have one, the name of their home bar (lucky). Lightweight and durable, these golf score coasters will have the giftee's playing partners fighting to put their drink on low scores, and their house's more "retentive" members happy to keep their coffee table ring-stain-free.
Golf-themed barware is a great golf gift idea for the holiday season.
Custom Copper Mule Cups
In 2022, you cannot claim to have a home bar until there are some copper cups on the shelf. Not only will these gleaming copper mule cups add some visual flair to any 19th hole home bar, the monograms will be a reminder to them of the thought you put into this year's holiday gift. Not to mention, the copper is part of the cocktail itself, as many claim you can’t make a proper Moscow Mule without one.
Beyond the standard Mule, these cups will enhance a range of chilled beverages from the Dark and Stormy to a classic Mint Julep (just don't tell a Kentuckian that you served it in copper instead of silver/pewter).
Personalized glassware
Perfect for the golfer who's just started curating a liquor collection for a home bar, this personalized set of beer mugs will act as a foundational piece of decor. Not only will they add the thoughtful, timeless class reserved for things that have a monogram engraved on them, but the golf ball relief in the bottom is a subtle detail that will bring a bit of their favorite sport into their new favorite space.
Whether the golfer’s on your holiday shopping list are new friends, or old relatives, we think this year's holiday guide has something for every kind of golf lover.
