Get inspired by this range of gifts for golf lovers.
PixabayThe realm of golf is far removed from the ambiance of the holiday season. A player standing in the tee box or lining up for a putt on the 18th green wants nothing to do with chestnuts, snowmen or caroling.
Still, since a visit by Santa Claus isn’t banned by USGA rules, if you’re running behind on gifting your golf lover, these top-shelf gifts are more than welcome.
PXG 0211 Z Golf Clubs – US$1,695: Scottsdale-based PXG makes some of the finest and most expensive golf clubs in North America. As a result, the golf world considers the brand the sole realm of the dedicated, experienced golfer whose developed game (and mature bank account) makes a set of PXG sticks a badge of honor.
Now, in a bold move for the 2022 golf season, PXG released the 0211 Z clubs as an entry-level set for beginners or high handicap players. While pre-existing PXG lines are aimed for precision play for golfers who fit their clubs to their games, the 0211 Z collection is all about “easy play.” Handsomely forged from carbon fiber, everything in the Z design focuses on reassuring balance and getting the ball up in the air comfortably.
Sun Mountain ClubGlider Tour Series – US$335: The dedicated traveling golfer lives with the drudgery of dragging his or her travel bag through airports and to their resort. The designers at Sun Mountain realized all they needed to make that golf case more maneuverable is add two wheels. The ClubGlider Tour Series golf club travel protector includes a two-wheeled metal shelf that slides down out of the bag and snaps into place—creating a four-wheel cart that cruises to and from the baggage counter as easily as any other luggage. The ClubGlider is designed to accommodate Sun Mountain’s line of lightweight golf bags, but the case works with any brand.
Rain or Shine Golf Skytrak Swingbay Simulator –US $9,400: The training tools, launch trackers and simulators for sale at Rain or Shine offer game improvement and practice options for players with different skill levels and budgets. With an MSRP just a tick below US$10,000, the Rain or Shine Golf Skytrak Swingbay Simulator is a professional level practice and training environment able to recreate the world’s best golf courses or offer exercises in improving swing skills. Fully-equipped, the Skytrak Swingbay includes the SkyTrak App and Game Improvement Software, hitting enclosure, screen, netting, golf simulation gaming laptop, golf mat and Optoma 1080p HD Short Throw Projector.
Bushnell Tour V5 Shift Rangefinder – US$399: The laser rangefinder is that high-tech golf tool set up as an evermore essential ingredient in any amateur’s bag. The Bushnell Tour V5 Shift Rangefinder packs artificial intelligence incorporating distance reading and terrain analysis to calculate accurate length to the flagstick. By building slope readings into its instantaneous mathematics, the Tour V5 takes guesswork out of club selection.
In addition to making this new Rangefinder smarter, Bushnell also improved the device’s optics, added integration with a free golf improvement app and built in a magnet to attach the rangefinder to any golf cart.
GolfForever Swing Trainer – US$199: Golf must have more player improvement gadgets and programs than any other sport, as the game proves extremely difficult and cruelly addictive to amateurs and professionals alike. Most of these gimmicks end up in players’ closets and fade from the marketplace, but the GolfForever Swing Trainer comes with an extensive fitness and player advancement program offering a holistic approach to playing better golf.
On its own, the Swing Trainer works to improve strength, balance, flexibility and club release with a weighted bar and series of focused exercises. However, if the player signs up for the US$200-per-year GolfForever subscription service, he or she receives training and playing tips from experts like 12-time PGA winner Justin Leonard.

Using simulators and launch trackers monitoring swing speed, spin rate, club face angle and other key swing elements, the True Spec fitting experts match a player’s physiognomy and ability to the game’s top club brands. During the fitting process, the golfer can take five to enjoy everything from a couple fingers of fine whiskey to a brimming handful of Red Vine licorice.
Costs vary for fitting everything from drivers to putters to complete sets, but True Spec offers gift cards allowing generous friends and family to provide a loved one that once in a lifetime chance to own perfectly fit golf clubs.
