The Ai-One Jailbird Mini CH Putter is a smaller version of the model that’s been most notably used by Wyndham Clark and Rickie Fowler on Tour. This putter features the Odyssey Versa alignment system, where wide black and white lines on the top of the putter show the face angle, helping golfers improve their alignment and face awareness throughout each stroke. The Ai-One insert is forgiving when players miss the center of the face, helping maintain distance control even on off-center hits. 


Upgrade your golfer’s bag with the Maxfli Modern Classic Stand Bag. Exclusively sold at Golf Galaxy, the Modern Classic follows a popular trend toward bags that have a premium look and feel, while still being practical for everyday use. This Maxfli bag uses synthetic leather and has a dedicated pocket for every essential, including compartments for clothing, valuables, rangefinders, golf balls and accessories. There’s also an insulated beverage cooling compartment, as well as an umbrella holder. With foam-padded straps, this bag is a great option for your golfer who enjoys walking but also looks great on a cart.


The Callaway Chrome Tour golf ball is trusted by many pros, and it comes in two different engineered designs, Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X, to fit every type of player. The golf ball’s four-piece construction helps it fly consistently in any condition, and the soft feel it produces around the greens is preferred by Tour players and everyday golfers alike. It comes in a traditional white, high-vis yellow, as well as a variety of alignment and personalized options.


Men’s FootJoy Premiere Series shoes are made with hand-selected full grain leather, which not only makes them comfortable to walk in, but they have the classic look that many golfers prefer. The VersaTrax+ outsole and anti-channeling traction pattern help provide elite on-course performance, helping golfers maintain a stable base from any lie. The traditional all-white leather design makes the Premiere Series a versatile option, helping complete any outfit while delivering key performance benefits of a Tour shoe.


Stylish and versatile, the ¼-zip pullover is a staple for many golfers’ wardrobes. It offers a traditional look and can be paired with thick layers in colder weather, or it can be used on its own over a shirt in more mild temps. The Men’s Walter Hagen Clubhouse Midweight Pullover is the perfect comfort option for the golfer in your life—it has a slightly thicker feel to keep players warm in cold weather, while at the same time keeping them dry, thanks to its performance moisture-wicking technology. The pullover’s blend of cotton, polyester and spandex adds flexibility through each swing, allowing golfers to have their full range of motion when they play. Lastly, it comes in a variety of colors so it can be paired with a large range of bottoms and shirts.

Golf Galaxy ‘s exclusive Women’s Tommy Armour EVO set offers everything she needs for her next round. Complete with a driver, a fairway wood, hybrids, irons, wedges and a putter, this complete set is a great option for new players or even experienced players looking to upgrade, all at a great price. The high-MOI titanium driver helps golfers increase distance and consistency on off-center hits, and the perimeter-weighted irons allow players to dial in spin and control on approach shots. Its mallet putter has state-of-the-art alignment features, while the sleek stand bag offers a six-way divider top and enough pockets to fit extra clothes, accessories and valuables.


CALIA Golf’s Soft Scuba ¼-Zip Golf Pullover is so chic and versatile that the golfer on your list will get far more use out of it than a regular pullover. The Scuba’s deep-cut zipper and relaxed fit make it a standout statement piece, while the extra room makes it easy to swing in while playing golf. The soft, sleek material helps keep golfers comfortable while it provides enough stretch to allow for free movement throughout each swing.


If there’s a dominant trend in golf shoes over the last few years, it’s the movement toward more casual-like offerings that still provide ample support and grip. New Balance and CALIA Golf have come together to create a modern take on the classic 1970s New Balance running shoe, perfect for the golfer who prefers a comfortable and stylish shoe. This is a golf shoe designed for performance with effective, spikeless traction elements across the entire bottom and back of the sole to ensure she stays connected with the ground throughout her swing. The microfiber leather upper is waterproof, helping golfers keep their feet dry throughout each round.


Not all golf balls are created equal. While they might all look the same on the outside, golf balls like those in this exclusive Maxfli Tour family provide superior performance for golfers of all levels. This is thanks to a soft but durable cast urethane cover that produces great feel and optimal spin; an innovative tetrahedron dimple pattern that optimizes aerodynamics and increases distance; and a fool-proof alignment feature. Lexi Thompson, an 11-time winner on the LPGA Tour, started playing with these Maxfli Tour golf balls because it increased her ball speed, adding distance to her drives. The golf ball, according to Thompson, also holds its line well in the wind, preventing shots from flying far offline when playing in blustery conditions. A Golf Digest Hot List Gold Medal winner, the Maxfli Tour golf ball is perfect for players who prefer a softer feel, with low spin off the tee but lots of spin around the green.

If the golfer on your list wants to take their practice a step further and focus on improvement, the Palladium Golf putting mat is an excellent option. The turf surface mimics the speed and characteristics of a typical “real” putting green. Clear distance markers from two, four, six and eight feet allow players to practice specific-length putts, and the mat has two cups—one larger and one smaller—which gives users a chance to practice putting to a narrower target. (When you move to a standard-size hole on the course after a winter of rolling putts in a smaller cup, putting seems a lot easier.) Numerous alignment aids running across the mat help track their stroke path and face angle, two essential components to holing more putts, and the gently sloped mat returns golf balls back to them for added convenience.


Few things are more frustrating for a golfer than hitting what feels like a perfect shot, only for it to land short or fly over the green because they miscalculated the yardage. The Bushnell Tour V6 Shift Rangefinder has PinSeeker technology, which locks onto the pin and provides a subtle visual jolt to tell them when they’ve found the target, so they never again “shoot” the trees behind the green by accident. The Tour V6 also comes with optional slope technology, which takes any uphill or downhill angles into consideration and calculates the effective yardage to the target. (Players can turn this feature on or off depending on preference and whenever they’re playing in competition.) For golfers who ride in a cart, the BITE magnetic mount allows their rangefinder to stick to the sides of the cart for quick and easy access.


The Blue Tees Player+ GPS Speaker combines 360-degree audio with the tech of a golf GPS into one smart design. Featuring a touch screen display, the Player+ provides distances to the front, middle and back of greens. The speaker has a 100-foot range and links party pairing so they can connect multiple Player+ speakers at once for a more robust sound. The speaker comes with a magnetic strip to connect to the sides of a cart and a 10+ hour battery life, ensuring the device will make it through the entire round.
