In case you missed Lisa Longball’s virtual holiday picks for the golfer on your holiday list 🎁 ⛳️ check out the below video …
Happy Holidays! My name is Lisa Vlooswyk, nick named Lisa Longball. I am an 8-Time Canadian Long Drive Champion and extremely proud Canadian and Golf Town Brand Ambassador.
I wanted to share with you some of my “Favorite Golf Things” that my family and I use all the time and love, so I can help you with your holiday shopping!
Callaway Epic Max LS Driver
This is my gamer! It is designed for mid-to-low handicap players who want more speed, neutral ball flight and forgiveness in a lower spin, high MOI package. It also offers adjustable perimeter weighting to fine tune ball flight off the tee. There are two other fabulous drivers in the Epic Family, the Epic Max which offers maximum ball speed and forgiveness and Epic Speed which is focused on offering fast ball speeds over a more expansive area.
Callaway Chrome Soft Golf Balls
Who doesn’t LOVE golf balls as a gift! Most golfers need a new pellet or two every round! I use this ball when I play. The Chrome Soft ball is Callaway’s #1 selling ball with incredible distance, soft feel & short game control. For the perfect gift look for the 4 Dozen package, where you pay for 3 dozen and get the fourth free!
Callaway Super Soft Matte Finish Balls
These are the golf balls I give to my students at my Lisa Longball Golf school for Women! The ladies adore them and so do many men! It offers long distance with greenside control and super soft feel. They come in a variety of vibrant colors or in traditional white.
SParms
If you are concerned about sun safety this is the product for you! SParms is an Australian company that provides innovative solutions for sun protection. There are other sun sleeves on the market but this is a shoulder wrap. I find sleeves can slip down throughout the round. The shoulder wrap is comfortable, moves with you and keeps the sleeves comfortably in place. They come in black and white. They are also handy for cycling, running, fishing, and tennis.
2UNDR
This is a Canadian company based in Vancouver, BC. It is inspired by the kangaroo pouch. It is high-performance men’s athletic underwear that focuses on improved fit, comfort and airflow. They are famous for their Joey Pouch® technology that they state, “separates man’s most valuable assets away from the body to reduce unwanted skin-on-skin contact.” This is the perfect stocking stuffer!
Callaway Tour Authentic Glove
There is nothing better than slipping on a brand new glove! This is a great stocking stuffer as well. This glove is made from premium leather and feels fantastic on. For any ladies out there that find that a Ladies Large glove does not fit, get a Men’s Small Cadet, which means shorter fingers than a standard men’s glove. It is my go-to glove during recreational rounds or competing at the World Long Drive Championships.
Perfect Practice Putting Matt
Most Canadians do not have the luxury of playing golf in the wintertime. To keep your game sharp this off season, check out this training aid. Many matts do not simulate a putting green, this is one of the top selling matts on the market for its realistic green-like feel. The General Manager at my local Golf Town told me these are the most popular putting matts and they fly off the shelves. It is the official putting matt of PGA Tour Player Dustin Johnson and Nick Faldo. Faldo said, “If you want to make more putts, you have to practice more or you have to practice better. The Perfect Putting Matt helps you do both”
ZTech Canadian Rhinestone Ball Marker
Oh Canada! A great gift for any proud Canadian golfer is a bedazzled Canadian Flag ball marker. This ZTech marker comes with a hat clip so you aren’t stuck digging in your pockets at the green.
SuperSpeed Golf
Everyone always asks me the secret to distance. Two of the most important factors to distance, are club head speed and ball speed. SuperSpeed Golf is a training system that uses overspeed training to help you add club head speed to every club in your bag. Increased club head speed leads to ball speed. This is the perfect gift to work on your swing in the off season without having to go to the course. They recommend 3, 5-8 minutes of training per week and have found that that will increase their client’s swing speed by 5% in 6 weeks. There are also Junior sets available. Give the gift of speed!
Theragun
I recommended this gift last year and it still remains as one of my favourite purchases! This is massage reinvented. It offers professional-grade personalized deep muscle treatment. You can safely and effectively work all muscle groups. It comes wit a variety of attachments and you can choose different speeds and there is an app to guide you. There is even a Golfer setting on the app. My husband and son love to use it as well. It is perfect for those sore muscle days when you can’t get to a massage and easy to travel with. New for this year is the Theragun Mini. It is a fraction of the size, extremely portable and economical.
Travis Matthews Canadian/Holiday Themed T-Shirts & Hats
Travis Matthews is my go-to brand for my husband and son. The clothes are hip, youthful and stylish on the course but can also be worn casually with friends. If you are a proud Canadian, they offer Canadian themed t-shirts that perfect to wear with a pair of jeans and a cold beverage. They also offer holiday t-shirts that are a perfect alternative to the ugly sweater parties you will be invited to. The Travis Matthews Flex Fit B-Bahamas Hat is also a winner. It is my husband’s favorite golf hat. He literally has it in every color. The signature M on the front is subtle but makes a statement. A great gift idea for the golfer in your life.
Callaway Golf Hoodie
This is my favorite new sweatshirt! I just bought one for my husband for Christmas and bought one for myself as a pre-holiday giftl! This is a unisex sweatshirt that is super soft and comfortable. Team USA popularized hoodies at the recent Ryder Cup when team members sported it as part of their official on course golf apparel. They are found in the men’s apparel section but are definitely for men and women!
Yeti Beverage Tumblers & Can Insulator
You can’t go wrong with this gift! I have all 3 of these Yeti products and use them all year long. The wine holder keeps your wine cool on a hot day. The Coffee Mug fits perfectly into my Golf Cart cup holder and it keeps me warm at the rink as a hockey mom. The Yeti Can Insulator was a game changer this summer. It kept all of my cans cold for 4 times a long! Even Santa has it on his list!
Happy Holidays and Happy Shopping!
