The Golf Town Holiday Gift Shop is officially open! The holidays can be a stressful time for some when trying to find the perfect gift for that special person on your list, especially the golf fanatic. Have no fear, Golf Town has everything the golfer on your list could dream of or love. Still don’t know what to get? I’m here to help you out by sharing with you some of my “Favourite Golf Essentials” to help you with your holiday shopping!

Callaway Mavrik

This is my gamer!  Mavrik is evolutionary, taking the artificial intelligence (AI) technology throughout the entire line of Drivers, Fairway Woods, Hybrids and Irons that was initially introduced in Callaway’s Epic Driver, and developed in Rogue.  It offers some new elements, including a different titanium face. This results in a more forgiving head, with tighter overall dispersion on shots, and four to five miles per hour faster ball speed.  I was hitting the longest drives I ever have with this driver and I was so disappointed that the World Long Drive Championships were cancelled due to Covid, as I was excited to put it into play!  I also fell in love with the whole line.  It is the best 3 wood I’ve ever hit and I also adore the hybrid and Mavrik Pro irons. They are my go to clubs!

Callaway REVA

This family of clubs is truly “REVA-lutionary”.   This is a new brand of women’s clubs unlike any on the market.  These clubs are designed specifically for women.  Callaway’s Research and Development team looked extensively at female player performance data to optimize every aspect of these clubs including head shape, weight, shafts, hosels, face technology and loft to maximize distance, to help players launch the ball higher and to hit it straighter.  The first release under the new REVA name is the Big Bertha collection.  It offers Drivers, Fairway Woods, Hybrids and Irons.  This is the ultimate gift for the female golfer in your house and could also be perfect for Teens or Senior players.

 Callaway Chrome Soft X Triple Track Golf Balls

Who doesn’t LOVE golf balls! It is the one thing we usually need to replenish every round. These golf are Callaway’s premium golf ball aimed for players with faster swing speeds. I LOVE the Triple Track Technology alignment system offered on this ball to help you make more putts. This is Phil Mickelson’s ball of choice.

Callaway Super Soft Matte Finish Balls

These are the golf balls I give to my students at my Lisa Longball Golf School for Women! Aimed at golfers with a slightly lower swing speed, these balls are easy to launch and maximize distance with a super soft feel for chipping around the greens and putting. The ladies adore these golf balls. My favourite colours are pink and red making it easy to find these balls in any condition and they have a cool matte finish.

Dave Pelz’s O-Ball Marking Clamp

If you know a golfer that struggles with alignment this may be the perfect stocking stuffer.  You may have noticed when watching the Masters, that many players draw a line on their golf ball including winner Dustin Johnson. Players often use it to help line up their ball to the apex of the break when putting, and then line their putter face up to that.  You can also place the ball in line with your target when teeing up the ball.  Unless you are fabulous at free hand drawing this will make your line look straight and pro. It also comes with a Sharpie marker.

G-Tech

If you know someone who loves fall golf but hates being cold, this is the gift for them!  This is a hand warmer you can strap on around your waist and it does not impede your swing.  You place your hands in the pouch between shots and it has three different heat settings.  This is popular with NFL players, hunters and people who work outside in the winter. The USA Ryder Cup team will be sporting them at the next Ryder Cup. My son has been eyeing mine to use on the outdoor hockey rink this winter.

2UNDR

This is an awesome Canadian underwear product for men that keeps you comfortable on and off the course and is my husband’s favourite brand.  They have cool funky patterns from beach balls, to Anchors to Canadian Maple Leafs. They feature patented Joey Pouch technology ™ that helps stop chafing.  It is a great brand with a playful side.  They proudly advertise their No-Drip-Tip ™ technology especially for those single shake kind of days.

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.

Hole- In – One Score Card and Ball Display

Do you know someone who is tough to buy for but has had a hole in one? This is the gift for them!  My dad just got a hole in one after 50 years of playing golf.  This is what I will be wrapping to put under the tree as a wonderful keepsake for this incredible special occasion.

Callaway Hitting Mat

We all know that Canadian winters are too long! Over Covid lockdown I purchased this hitting matt and made swings in my basement and outside.  It simulates grass and allows you to get that grass like feeling when surrounded by snow.

Callaway Hitting Net

The perfect partner to the hitting matt is the Callaway hitting net! I also bought this over the Covid lockdown and was able to hit actual balls in my basement and outdoors.  There is a target that looks like a bullseye it and gave me a great sense of my flight and direction.  I was able to have my own personal driving range without leaving my house.

Orange Whip

The off season is the perfect time to work on your swing faults. The Orange Whip is a wonderful training aid for anyone who struggles with tempo.  I will often use this on the range to warm up.  You can do this in your basement, your garage or in your backyard. It is also a great aid for improving swing speed.

Theragun

This has been my favourite purchase in the last year.  This is massage reinvented.  It offers Professional-grade personalized deep muscle treatment.  You can safely and effectively work all muscle groups.  It comes with 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 it is easy to travel with.

Bushnell Tour V5 Rangefinder

I just upgraded my range finder this past year.  I love it!  I am a golfer that needs to know yardage to the stick.  I also love using it for knowing where to lay up and what distance I need to hit to avoid danger. I wouldn’t golf without it.

Gift Card and Gift Card Holder

You can NEVER go wrong with a gift card! It fits nicely in a stocking and lets the recipient pick their gift of choice.  When I buy a gift card I always get the cute tin Gift Card Holder with it.  It looks fancier and gives the recipient something to open.

The Golf Gang Junior Golf Set

If you have a small child in your life that you would like to see be the next Brooke Henderson or Adam Hadwin, start with a plastic set.  You always want to make golf fun, especially at this age, and just get them swinging.  I started my son with plastic clubs too and I know it won’t be long until he is out driving me.

TravisMathew Canadian Themed T-Shirts

TravisMathew 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 are perfect to wear with a pair of jeans and a cold beverage.

TravisMathew B Bahamas cap

This is my husband’s favourite golf hat.  He literally has it in every colour. He seems to have a big melon and the Large/Extra Large Flex Fit fits him perfectly.  The signature M on the front is subtle but makes a statement.  A great gift idea for the golfer in your life.

Callaway Apparel Ladies Stretch Pant

These are my FAVOURITE pants! They are perfect turkey pants because they stretch but also have body shaping properties that tuck you in all the right places. They are available in black and navy. I wear them on the course but also out to lunch with my friends.
