The garland is out, the pumpkins are in the dumpster, and jolly old St. Nick has begun polishing his boots. The holidays are around the corner and your local Golf Town is fully stocked with loads of products to make this season of giving your memorable yet. From clubs to clothes, shoes to the latest tech, there is no better place to check off your list than at a Golf Town store or by shopping online.
I know that I, for one, am looking forward to what’s under the tree come the big day. For those who aren’t sure where to start shopping for the golfer in their life, here’s a breakdown of some of my favourite ideas to get your wish list wheels turning.
Bushnell V5 Exclusive Rangefinder – Orange
This holiday season, give the gift of unrivalled confidence to the golfer in your life with a V5 rangefinder from Bushnell. Trusted by the world’s best players and used around the world by golfers seeking to lower their scores, the V5 accounts for virtually every element you’ll face on the course, allowing you to focus on nothing else but the task at hand—executing the perfect golf shot. Accurate within one yard, the V5 ensures you’re locked in on the flag with its prompted VisualJolt technology and comes equipped with BITE technology that magnetizes the device to your cart. Unlike other rangefinders that are hard to operate and even more difficult to see through, V5 provides crystal clear definition through its 6x magnified lens and added colour vibrancy. Last but not least, this exclusive offering comes in a black and orange colour scheme that stands out on the course, just like your golf game will.
Under Armour Quarter Zips
’Tis the season for comfortable quarter zips and chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Under Armour has long been a leader in outfitting athletes from across the sports spectrum with performance apparel. The same rings true for golfers who have worn the U and A on the links. This holiday season, show your loved ones you respect their commitment to the game by gifting them a fashionable and performance-inspired quarter zip pullover. Soft to the touch and stretchable so you can swing unhindered, these must-have sweaters seamlessly transition from the course to the clubhouse for a versatile, stylish outerwear piece you can wear time and again.
Yeti
Santa loves a hot cocoa. He loves it even more when it stays warm over the course of his global travels. Stay warm this winter and keep your cool on the golf course come summer with a Yeti traveller mug. Made using the highest-quality materials and engineered to retain liquid temperatures in all weather conditions, Yeti is an industry-leading brand with a massive international following that has made it a household name over the past few years. If you’ve tried one before, then you know what the hype is all about. If not, you’re missing out on what happens when science and engineering come together to keep your beverages just as you like them. This mug is a perfect stocking stuffer, gift for your office’s secret Santa pool, or to be nestled under the tree come the big day.
TP5
A premium golf ball that is trusted by the game’s very best players is a gift every golf can appreciate. Buy a dozen of TaylorMade’s TP5 and show your loved on this holiday season you care about their ball speeds, trajectories, and spin rates. In other words, help them help themselves on the course by playing one of golf’s must trusted brands from tee to green. With a urethane cover, larger core and new and improved flight dimple patterns for longer carries, the 2021 TP5 gives every golfer what they crave—more distance and better feel around the greens.
UNRL Barstool Polos
For the ‘Stoolie who simply loves sports and isn’t afraid to let it be known, Golf Town is offering Barstool-inspired polos for the golf course and beyond. The Spittin’ Chiclets branded polo, based off of the ever-popular hockey podcast, is ideal for the person who trades in their skates for golf shoes come May, while the Barstool polo is emblazoned with a cocktail-infused pattern and logo across the left chest. But these shirts aren’t just branded billboards, they’re also packed with performance-focused features, including moisture-wicking and four-way stretch fabrics so you can swing free and dry throughout your entire round.
