To help take the stress out of holiday shopping, we’ve turned to our team to share their top gift ideas that any golfer will love.
Written by Jeff Zaiser, Store General Manager, North Vancouver Golf Town
At Golf Town, we pride ourselves in the wide assortment of golf and lifestyle brands that we offer in-store. With Canada’s largest selection of golf apparel, there is surely something for anyone on your gift list, but here are a few of my favourite pieces.
Men’s Penguin Captain Intarsia Merino Sweater
This new piece from Penguin just hit our stores. It looks great on and offers 100% Merino wool. This is an upgrade to traditional wool sweaters. Merino wool keeps you warm but breaths better than traditional wool. It actually takes the heat that your body produces and pushes it to the outside of the sweater to keep you comfortable. To top that off this is a wool that can actually go in the washer and dryer.
Men’s adidas Climaproof Boa Boot
These adidas boots will come in handy for golfers like me that can golf year-round (thank you Mother Nature). With waterproof protection, warmth and comfort, the winter golf season in places like B.C. can be more enjoyable. The BOA lacing system will help you dial in the perfect sizing. The water protection comes in handy when you accidentally step in that puddle in the rough.
Men’s Nexbelt
Nexbelts are a one size fits all belt that has a rachet system instead of the traditional holes, so it’s the perfect stocking stuffer for someone if you don’t know their waist size. The rachet system makes it easy to adjust the belt a ¼ inch at time. They also have a quick release button just under the buckle. It’s available in multiple colour options, patterned straps and buckle options.
Men’s Under Armour ColdGear Long Sleeve Fitted Mock
UA has a great base layer with this ColdGear piece. When it’s cold outside a fitted shirt helps to keep your core warm. The fabric used is designed to be fitted but not squeeze, it has 4-way stretch to allow you to move freely and wicks sweat away from your body. This is a great shirt to wear for practice time or during your round.
Men’s & Women’s FootJoy HydroLite Jacket
This is a must have piece from FootJoy if you are playing or practicing in all conditions. The HydroLite is part of the DryJoy collection which means it is 100% waterproof. This edition is now the lightest waterproof jacket that FJ has produced. It also has four-way stretch which means you can let a driver fly and not worry about your jacket getting in the way of your game.
Women’s Puma PWRWARM Reversible Golf Vest
Available in three different colours, this piece is a great addition to the golfing wardrobe. It uses Puma’s warmCELL technology to be lightweight and still offer warmth. An added bonus to this layering piece is the fact that it is reversible so you can switch up your fashion each time you play.
Women’s FootJoy Embody Bavaria Spiked Golf Boot
This boot is designed for fall and winter golf. The Embody boot is fully waterproof for those wet days on the course. It also has an added warm lining to keep your feet toasty while you work on your game or get in 18 holes.
Nike HyperAdapt Long Jacket
This Nike jacket offers both wind and rain protection. It has Hypershield along with seem sealed pockets to keep you dry on or off the course. Living in Vancouver, I know rain – and this jacket is a hit to wear around town, just ask my wife!
Women’s FootJoy Sport SL Shoes with BOA
The FootJoy Sport SL is an athletic inspired light weight spikeless shoe. It is designed to be both breathable and offers a two-year waterproof warranty. My favourite feature is the BOA fit system that allows you to dial in the fit of the shoe to perfection.
Jamie Sadock Printed Short Sleeve Top
Jamie Sadock is always offering new patterns to spice up your wardrobe. This printed top is 92% polyester and 8% spandex to help it move with your golf swing. It also offers sun protection if you are planning to head south for some golf this winter.
