You’ll turn some heads when you step on the first tee in CALIA’s sporty-looking Women’s 14-inch Side Pleat Golf Skort, which offers stylish side pleats and is made with a moisture-wicking technology called BODYBREEZE. The design pulls perspiration away from the body so you’ll stay cool and play your best, even on hot, sticky days. The fabric has also been treated with UPF 50+, so the skin gets added protection against the sun’s harmful rays. The undershorts have two built-in pockets (one of them large enough to store a cell phone), plus a zippered pocket along the back of the skort. The Side Pleat skort is offered in a range of bold colors—purple, white, black or light blue—as well as white with a cross-thatch pattern. Sizing runs from XS to 3X. 

New to the game but don’t know where to start? This complete set includes a sturdy cart bag, nine clubs (which include a 13.5° driver; a 3-wood; a 5-hybrid; 7- through 9-irons; pitching and sand wedges; and a putter), and headcovers for the driver, fairway wood, hybrid and putter. All the full-swing clubs have lightweight, ladies-flex graphite shafts. Plus, the easy-to-hit clubheads are designed with strong, lightweight clubfaces to boost speed and power. The forgiving driver has extra mass in the rear of the clubhead, which helps on mis-hits, and the user-friendly designs of the fairway wood, hybrid and perimeter-weighted irons make it easy to hit shots that fly repeatable distances. Not to be outdone, the midsize mallet putter features a triple-line alignment system along the back flange to help with aim. Made from a durable nylon material, the cart bag has full-length dividers for each club plus ample storage for balls, extra clothing and more. 

New Balance running sneakers are known for their comfort and secure fit, and the company’s golf shoes are cut from the same cloth (so to speak)—with some extra flair. The 327 golf shoe takes its inspiration from the 1970s New Balance running shoe of the same name, combining a retro look with plenty of cushioning and shock absorption. As part of the throwback design, the outsole rises from the bottom of the shoe to envelop the back heel and toe areas of the upper. The waterproof microfiber leather keeps feet dry and comfortable. Meanwhile, the rubber outsole is loaded with nubs for gripping power. The 327 comes in medium width (B), in sizes 6 to 10, including half sizes. 

Want to add some personal taste to your gift? TaylorMade’s latest five-layer TP5 ball can come with a custom design thanks to the company’s “MySymbol” program. Choose from more than 100 symbols or logos, ranging from cocktail glasses and butterflies to hearts and donuts. You can also add personalized text, specify a particular ball number and change the color of the TaylorMade stamp. In addition, the TP5 ball is packed with technology that improves performance for golfers of all kinds. It feels softer than its predecessors thanks to an innovative “Speed Wrapped” core, and while “soft” golf balls can sometimes be shorter on distance, TaylorMade’s design team has decoupled feel and speed in this ball by engineering specific stiffnesses into the core and mantle layers. Bottom line: Players experience softness and a muted sound in a ball that’s fast and long. The TP5 performs like a “low-spin” ball off the longer clubs but is “high-spin” on scoring shots around the greens, which is great for women’s swing speeds. MySymbol balls require a minimum order of two dozen. 

In the market for a new lightweight bag? Look no further than the Maxfli Honors 14-Way Stand Bag. Whether you’re lifting the bag off the ground or getting it in or out of the car, the molded hard-plastic handles around the top make it easy to grab and go. In addition, the padded double strap can limit shoulder fatigue while walking the course. The 5-pound bag has 14 slots for clubs, plus full-length dividers. In addition to the large pocket for storing an extra sweater or rain gear, there are several pockets and pouches to hold a water bottle, golf balls, cell phone and car keys, and even a magnetic pouch to protect your rangefinder. Another well-conceived feature: the hinged base flexes to match the ground contours so the bag won’t tip over when you set it down on an uneven surface. 

The versatile Performance 11 Collection for women includes layering pieces and bottoms, all of which make great gifts. One of the most versatile pieces, the UV Suncover, is packed with high-tech performance features, including a UPF 50+ fabric treatment that adds an extra layer of protection against the sun, and it also has a cooling quality so players won’t overheat as temperatures rise on steamy days. The moisture-wicking technology allows sweat to escape through the material rather than staying on the skin. This quarter-zip pullover has a mock neck and comes in a variety of colors and patterns, including solids like navy blue, rose and light blue, and lighthearted designs such as birds of paradise, palm trees and pink flamingos. Sizing ranges from XS to 3X. 

For die-hard golfers, there’s a therapeutic quality to pulling out a brand new Cabretta leather glove and sliding it onto your hand. The soft, supple leather provides a wonderful fit and feel, and provides just the right amount of tackiness for a secure grip. With the Tour Authentic glove from Callaway, you get that performance and more. The material is infused with a special treatment called Griptac™, which creates 20 percent more grip tackiness than previous models for even better control. Beyond that, the cuff is lined with a moisture-wicking material so the wrist area remains dry during play. It also means the glove will hold its shape for longer. The Tour Authentic glove comes in white only, in small, medium or large sizes.

Back by popular demand and updated with the latest technology, this starter set offers women everything they need to get into the game without breaking the bank. For less than $300, you can get the woman golfer in your life the Top Flite XL complete set, which includes nine graphite-shafted clubs, three headcovers and a lightweight stand bag. Plus, she can choose her preferred shaft length, either standard or petite. The club set consists of a titanium-composite 12.5-degree driver, 3-wood, 5-hybrid, stainless-steel 6-iron through pitching wedge and a midsize mallet putter. The stand bag comes with three good-size storage pockets and a dual strap, which makes carrying clubs over 18 holes a breeze. Since the bag has six full-length dividers, the clubs can be organized however she wishes without slamming into each other when she walks. The bag comes in a choice of colors (purple/white or wine/charcoal) and the clubs have matching accent colors.

Visors are fantastic for protecting your face from the sun without making your head too warm on hot summer days. As a bonus, Nike’s Ace Swoosh visor also comes with a sweatband lined with the company’s venerable Dri-FIT technology that keeps perspiration at bay. The breathable, stretchable polyester fabric wicks away sweat from the skin and helps it evaporate quickly. The Ace Swoosh comes in three sizes: S/M, M/L or L/XL. Not sure of the correct size? Refer to the head-size chart on the golfgalaxy.com website. You can further tailor the fit with the adjustable hook-and-loop strap. Choose from six different colors, including black, dark blue, green, light blue, white or pink.
