Less weight on the shoulder for 18 holes.

Editor's pick

PuttOut medium putting mat — 7.9 ft with distance markings

Price tier 1 of 5

Perfect for: The golfer who practises in the hallway.

A putting mat that rolls like a real green.

The PuttOut medium putting mat, a rubber-backed nylon mat that lies flat out of the box, runs medium-fast and is marked to six feet.

Cheap mats curl and roll slow, so practice on them doesn't carry over to the course. This one lies flat and runs at a realistic speed, which is what makes home putting worth it. Rated 4.6 by over 1,800 buyers. That's why it's our editor's pick.

What we love

  • Lies flat right away

  • Marked for drills

Worth knowing

A Carhartt insulated 12-can cooler bag with a second compartment for food and sturdy carry handles.

What we love

  • Very well reviewed
  • Built tough

Frequently asked questions

What is a good golf gift under $100?

An upgrade to something they already use: a rangefinder, a lighter stand bag, a putting mat that rolls true, or a dozen of the premium ball they already play. Start with where they play most: on the course, at home or with friends after the round.

What is a good small gift for a golfer?

A small golf gift usually costs under $50: a two-sided towel, a club brush, a divot tool or a putting trainer. Our golf gifts under $50 page has twelve of them. On this page, the small-but-not-cheap pick is a dozen premium balls.

What do you get a woman who loves golf?

The same things you'd get any keen golfer. Every pick here works for any golfer, because a rangefinder, a net or a cart speaker doesn't need a version for her. Buy clothing only if you know her size and style, and buy balls only if you know which one she plays.

What is a good gift for someone who loves golf?

Think about how they play. If they're working on their game, buy practice gear like a putting mat or a net. If they play every weekend, buy on-course gear like a rangefinder. If golf is mostly about friends, buy for the 19th hole. For a bigger gift, see our golf gifts under $200.

What golf gifts are safe if I don't know their equipment?

Avoid clubs, grips, gloves and shoes, which all depend on a fit or a size. Check the ball in their bag before you buy balls. Everything else on this page is one-size and works with any set of clubs.

What is the 70/30 rule in golf?

It's an informal rule of thumb, not an official one. Most often it means spending about 70% of practice time on the short game, putting and chipping, and 30% on the full swing, since that's where most strokes are saved. A putting mat is an easy way to start.
