The holiday season is upon us and we at SB Nation want to share with you some of the best Christmas golf gift ideas.
Happy Cyber Monday! With Thanksgiving in the rearview mirror, everyone’s attention has shifted towards Christmas and the extravagant shopping that comes with it.
At SB Nation’s Playing Through, we want to focus on items that will best suit the golfer in your life.
Perhaps you are looking for new clubs, a new glove, or an accessory or two.
Regardless, we have some ideas that will undoubtedly put a smile on your golfer’s face.
Golf Apparel
Winter Hat
I hail from the Northeast, so I know all about the cold weather. Yes, I have even played golf in snow flurries before, so I am indeed crazy. But when bracing the elements, whether you are golfing or not, a comfortable hat is vital to keeping warm.
We recommend this J. Lindberg Grace Winter Hat, on sale at the PGA Tour Superstore. Perhaps you can channel your inner Viktor Hovland by repping the brand he dons each week on the PGA Tour with this hat.
It is also worth noting that shipping is free at the PGA Tour Superstore throughout Cyber Monday.
Golf Pants
Playing golf with cotton pants is uncomfortable and leads to more sweaty circumstances. Just ask Lucas Glover, who dealt with an unfortunate ‘swamp ass’ situation earlier this year.
Meanwhile, wearing a pair of breathable, comfortable golf pants pays dividends, especially when the weather turns warmer again.
They also keep your legs shielded from the sun, preventing sunburns.
Hence why we recommend these pants from PGA Tour Apparel, which are available in various sizes and colors. I like the Navy, but Black, White, and Khaki colors are also available. I own a few pairs of these golf pants, and I am thankful I do. They help me remain comfortable on the links regardless of the conditions.
Golf Balls
The golf ball itself has been a point of contention for years. Recently, R&A CEO Martin Slumbers doubled down on rolling back the golf ball, which would limit distance in professional golf.
But the rollback would not affect the amateur golfer nor the golfer in your life. Thus, you should consider checking out these golf ball deals on the PGA Tour Superstore, including the Holiday Box of Titleist Pro V1s, which are on sale. You cannot play our beloved sport without a ball, so you may as well save on them during the holiday season.
MullyBox Subscription
Finally, we at Playing Through recommend you try assembling your own ‘Mully Box.’
Through a quarterly subscription, golfers can receive shirts, gloves, hats, and other golf accessories made by Pins and Aces, among other growing golf brands. The recipient gets a new box of apparel and other items every three months, which will diversify both a golfer’s closet and golf bag.
The Mully Box costs $119.99 per quarter, while the Apparel Box—a $150 value—is currently on sale for Cyber Monday at $94.99 per quarter.
Good luck with the holiday shopping!
Hopefully, our recommendations will help the golfer in your life have a Merry Christmas.
