5 great Christmas gifts for golfers

With Christmas less than a month away, it’s time to get out the Christmas wishlists and start thinking about what to buy your friends and family. The best presents are the most thoughtful ones, so take inspiration from our great gift ideas and buy the golfer in your life something they’ll treasure all year round…

Duffel bag
Their golf clubs are their pride and joy, so why not give your golfing friend an upgrade with a new duffel bag? Not just for carting clubs around, a good duffel bag protects your golf gear from the elements and makes sure it stays at its best. Look for an airtight bag made with a durable and waterproof material.

Alternatively, get stylish with a smart weekend bag, perfect for carrying shoes, clothes, golf balls and other equipment. Opt for chic leather like the Glenmuir weekend bag – you can even add a special touch with free personalised embroidery.

Stocking fillers
Looking for something to fill a gap in the stocking, or have some spending money left spare? Top up your gift offering with something small. Go practical but stylish with a pair of special argyle golf socks, or buy a smart golf cap for cool headwear that they’ll wear all year round.

Golfing gadgets
Is your golfer friend a bit of a tech fiend? Make their Christmas with a special golfing gadget. A rangefinder is a cool tool that will improve their golf game – some allow you to see up to 1,000 yards ahead on a course to help refine your accuracy.

Really want to make their day? Treat them to a piece of wearable technology that will change the way they play. As well as doubling up as a fitness tracker, a golf GPS allows you to learn all about the pin positions and hazards of your golf course, and some models even track your shots so you can review and improve your game. One for when you really want to get in someone’s good books.

Cosy jumpers
You really can’t go wrong with a great-quality golfing jumper, and what better time to buy someone a bit of cosy knitwear than Christmas? Treat them to a luxurious cashmere jumper, or get practical with a lambswool sweater that will see the hardiest golfers through the chilly winter days on the course.

Golfing experiences
If you want to buy an extra-special gift for a partner or a parent, consider a golfing experience. From golfing lessons with a PGA professional to lunch and a round of golf at a top UK course, there are plenty of great days out to choose from if you shop around. Not special enough? You can get fantastic deals on golfing breaks to countries as far as the Caribbean, or stay closer to home with a trip to one of Scotland’s stunning courses.
