Why Personalised Golf Clothing Makes Such a Great Gift
Stuck for a thoughtful gift for the keen golfer in your life, especially if their bag is already brimming with clubs and gadgets?
That's where personalised golf clothing comes in!
It's the perfect way to show you're thinking of them, offering a unique and practical present that'll see plenty of use on the links.
PracticalThere's nothing worse than giving a gift that gathers dust in a cupboard. However, golf clothing is a staple for most players, often worn week in and week out. Taking it a step further by personalising an item means your present also gains a special significance. It moves beyond being just another piece of clothing and becomes a unique item that your loved one is sure to get regular use out of. ThoughtfulTaking the time to embroider someone's names, initials, or a meaningful phrase displays that you went the extra mile. Personalisation turns a relatively simple gift into a cherished keepsake that shows you care. Suitable for a range of budgetsWhen it comes to personalising golf apparel, you have a wide range of different price points to choose from. From custom-embroidered caps to high-end monogrammed golf jackets, you can choose a thoughtful option that aligns best with your budget. Express individualityGolf courses may have a dress code, but that doesn’t mean players can’t show some personality. Personalised clothing gives your golfer a way to stand out on the course while still keeping them classic and stylish. It's especially great for those who take pride in their look, enjoy fashion, or belong to a local club. Creates long lasting connectionPersonalisation also taps into a deeper emotional layer — whether it's a captain’s name, a favourite quote, or a significant date, embroidery turns garments into keepsakes. These pieces become tangible reminders of cherished rounds played, victories won, and memories made on and off the course with your playing partners VersatileWhether it's for a birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, or an upcoming golf event, personalised clothing is a suitable gift for a range of different occasions. Not to mention, you can personalise almost anything, from golf shirts and knitwear to outerwear and accessories. Plus, its appeal isn't limited to the course; these items are equally comfortable and stylish for everyday wear. |
What Types of Clothing Items Should I Personalise?
When choosing which clothing items to personalise, you should consider your budget, as well as your loved one's preferences.
Whether you're after something stylish, functional, or affordable, there are plenty of great options to choose from.
Polo shirts
When it comes to a reliable and appreciated gift, you truly can't go wrong with personalising a classic polo shirt. Iconic styles like the g.DEACON for men and g.PALOMA for women are the go-to for most golfers, seeing action in nearly every game.
For an added edge, opting for a polo with functional moisture-wicking yarn, thermoregulation active smart fibre, and +40 UV protection ensures it's not only stylish but performs brilliantly on the course, too.
Gilets
Golf gilets (such as the g.AYLA and g.NEWTON) are a great layering option for players who want to ward off the morning chill without compromising their game. These sleeveless vests are designed to be lightweight and non-restrictive, ensuring a full range of motion for an unhindered swing.
Midlayers and sweaters
Midlayers and sweaters are another great way to bring comfort and class to the golf course.
When it comes to fabric options, choose a wool-blend, like the merino g.SAMUEL, or a high-quality performance polyester blend, like the g.INDY, if you want your gift to stand the test of time.
Golf jackets
If you want to impress your loved one, gifting them a premium golf jacket is a great way to go about it. Items like the g.ARDEN and g.SAMARA are perfect for cold and wet conditions, typical of the UK.
For added warmth, look for features like padded zones, brushed fleece inners, and water repellent finishes.
Golf dresses
A personalised golf dress is the ideal gift for the lady golfer in your life. Not only does this gift show a bit of feminine flair, but it is entirely practical, especially in the summer months when the weather begins to warm up a bit.
Accessories
Personalised accessories make practical and compact gifts. Plus, you don't have to worry about getting the right size!
Consider these golfing accessories:
-
Caps: Offering protection from the sun, golf caps are a staple in any player's wardrobe. These essential items also offer the perfect placement for personalised initials, names, and symbols.
-
Socks: While giving socks may seem a bit cliche, you can't deny how practical this gift is. Everyone needs a new pair of socks from time to time, and even better if they're personalised!
-
Belt: A personalised belt can bring sophistication, character, and style to any golfing outfit. This compact gift also makes a great stocking stuffer!
- Golf towel: A must-have accessory for every golfer, used to wipe your hands and clean your clubs. Adding a personalised emblem will make this gift a little extra special.
What Should I Have Embroidered on Personalised Golf Apparel?The choice of what to embroider can be quite confusing, as you want the personalisation to be meaningful, but still offer an aesthetic appeal. If you're not sure what to go for, here are a few options to consider: Team logoIf your loved one plays in a local golf league or has a regular group they take to the course with, embroidering their team logo is a great way to foster pride and camaraderie. It also adds a professional look to the items. If their team has an upcoming competition or an event, even more reason to gift matching golf apparel. Initials or nameIf you're looking for something simple and timeless, embroidering someone's initials or full name is a classic choice that never goes out of style. Whether stitched on the chest, sleeve, or even collar, it adds a subtle personal touch. This is the ideal choice for someone with minimalist taste, who wouldn't appreciate anything too prominent. Golf-related phrase or quoteAdd a fun or inspiring quote to make the item truly stand out. Whether it’s something humorous like “Grip It and Rip It” or motivational like “Par for the Course,” golf-related phrases give the gift a unique personality and a bit of flair. Our free personalisation service can recreate this on select our golf clothing and accessories, making for a uniquely personal and emotionally meaningful gift. Personalised symbol or iconConsider adding a small icon that represents your loved one’s style or interests, such as a golf club, tee, lucky number, or even a family crest. Symbols offer a creative way to personalise without using text and can be especially appealing on accessories like caps or towels. |
Other Factors to Consider
We've already covered almost everything you need to know regarding personalised golf clothing. However, there are just a few more things we need to touch on:
Placement
Another thing to think about is where you'd like to personalise your golf apparel. For example, some of the most popular placements on a polo shirt include:
-
Left chest (a favourite for corporate event, society tours, or club uniforms)
-
Right chest
-
Left arm (another popular choice for a more subtle option)
-
Right arm
-
Back neck (the most subtle yet elegant option)
Consider whether you want the personalisation to be instantly visible or more on the subtler side.

Printing vs embroidery
When it comes to personalisation, you have two main options available, namely screen printing and embroidery. In our opinion, embroidery is more timeless and is undoubtedly the more durable option. Embroidery offers durability for high-usage garments like golf polos, outerwear, and accessories — a key reason it's the preferred option for event merchandise and professional golf apparel.
However, it's important to weigh up the two choices and determine which is the better one for your specific needs. Printing generally lends it self well to apply on inexpensive items such as t shirts.
Extra time
If you're looking for a last-minute gift, you may have to forego personalised golf clothing as embroidery can put a day or two extra onto your delivery. Remember to check the estimated delivery times before going the personalised route.
Contrast
Even if you're going for more of a subtle look, you still want the personalisation to stand out. With that in mind, you should avoid using similar colours to those of the golfing item. For example, if you embroider black lettering onto a black polo shirt, you're not going to be able to notice it.
Instead, use contrasting colours to ensure you can see the thought you've put into the personalised item.
