The cool thing about golf is that the biggest brands in the game are always trying to think of something new, different, and eye-catching. And golf style has continued to evolve, as a priority has been placed on athletic-feeling gear that looks just as good off the course as on it.
Regardless of how you play or how you dress, if you’re heading to a Golf Town store or browsing golftown.com, there is plenty to peruse as you look for the best kind of gift for the golfer in your life.
These are the hottest gifts of 2024 that will certainly get any golfer on your holiday list this season more excited than ever.
GEAR AND ACCESSORIES
No matter if the golfer on your list is a weekend warrior or a club-championship contender, golf balls always make for a wonderful gift.
There’s a big reason why the Titleist Pro V1 has been the No. 1 ball in golf for years and years – the research and development that go into it is top-tier, and it boasts new core technology for longer distance while a soft urethane Elastomer cover provides excellent greenside spin.
A solid golf bag is an underrated piece of gear for golfers – you wouldn’t want to see someone rocking a bag held together by duct tape, right? – and Sun Mountain makes some of the best in the game. The Sun Mountain C-130 combines superior craftmanship with durable materials, an ergonomic design, and extensive storage options.
Shoes are always an elite idea for a gift – seeing as it (and balls) is the only pieces of equipment that are used by golfers on every single shot. For men, check out the Ecco S-Three Spikeless which boasts Gore-Tex 100 percent waterproof technology, and the new Ecco Zonal Fluidform midsole with three different zones in the shoe ensuring a boost in stability and cushioning.
FOR MEN
There’s been some fashion-forward transitions in golf course style over the last few years led, perhaps, by the addition of hoodies to golfers’ closets – including major champions. Nike’s club fleece hoodie, available in two colours, has brushed-back fleece for comfort and looks just as good off the course as it does on.
TravisMathew has been long known as one of the cooler new brands in the game and for the holiday season it has two fun pieces including the ‘Grab Bag’ hat (which features a lit-up palm tree) and the ‘Cookie Swap’ polo with an all-over graphic print including VW holiday buses, mistletoe, and golfing Santas.
FOR WOMEN
There are so many different options for clothes for women that are just as fit for the fairways as they are for the gym, the tennis court, yoga class, or just running around town. The Puma YouV quarter-zip sweater is a perfect example. It’s an ideal layering piece that’s made from 30 percent of recycled materials.
For shoes, there is the Flex XP spikeless from FootJoy that has superior traction and support plus performance mesh that delivers all-day comfort and premium breathability.
