Frequently asked questions
What do you buy a golfer who has everything?
Something that measures or saves effort rather than another accessory: a launch monitor that shows swing speed, a GPS speaker for the cart, or a push cart for walking. These are things keen golfers want but rarely buy for themselves.
What is a good gift for someone who loves golf?
Match it to how they play. A rangefinder or GPS watch helps on the course, a launch monitor or putting mat helps at home, and a push cart or travel cover helps them get there. Everything on this page works with any set of clubs.
What do you get a woman who loves golf?
The same gear any keen golfer would want. Every pick here works for any golfer: a rangefinder, a watch, a putting mat or a push cart doesn't need a version for her. Skip clothing and shoes unless you know her size and style.
Why aren't there any golf clubs on this list?
Clubs only work well when they're fitted to the player's height, swing speed and strength, so a club bought as a surprise often ends up in the garage. If you want to give a club, give a fitting or a gift card for one instead.
What is a fun and affordable golf gift?
Under $50, the PuttOut putting trainer and a pop-up chipping net are fun at home and easy on the budget. Our golf gifts under $50 page has twelve of them, sorted the same way as this one.
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 on the short game, putting and chipping, and 30% on the full swing. A putting mat with a ball return makes the 70% much easier to do at home.
