Best Golf Gifts For Golfers
Holiday 2020 | 5 min read
Amongst the hustle and bustle of holiday gift-buying, it’s easy to get wrapped up in a “quantity versus quality” mentality. But when it comes to finding the best gifts for the golfer in your life, you’ll definitely want to pay closer attention to details and craftsmanship.
“There are hundreds of golf gear options–how do I find quality equipment?” Don’t worry. To alleviate the stress of finding the best golf gifts, we’ve curated a list of high-quality gear that is sure to impress beginning golfers and pros, alike:
For those who walk the course, golf stand bags are highly recommended. Golf stand bags tend to be lighter and smaller than traditional golf bags so they’re easy on the back, shoulders, and spine. Most golf carry bags accommodate a full set of golf clubs and all golf essentials that are needed for a round.

One the best golf stand bags on the market is the Player 2.0 stand bag. This full-featured carry bag showcases 7 intentionally-positioned pockets to make organization, a breeze. Your favorite golfer will be able to effortlessly store: golf balls, tees, gloves, water bottles, extra apparel, small accessories, in addition to a full set of clubs. The Player 2.0 stand bag is designed with a patented Rotator Stand System and carbon fiber legs to provide a reliable, sturdy base. It also utilizes an Equilibrium Strap, which is a padded, backpack-style strap that contains a pivot mechanism. This cutting-edge golf technology adapts to each player’s natural gait to ensure the most comfortable carrying experience. Because quality should never be compromised, the Player 2.0 is crafted with tour-grade synthetic leather, waterproof zippers, and genuine leather touchpoints. These carefully selected materials are not only known for durability, but color fastness, weather resistance, and low maintenance as well. There are a variety of colors to choose from, so be sure to find your golfer’s favorite.

For those golfers who prefer to ride on a golf cart, give them a bag that is designed for just that– a golf cart bag! This style typically features front-facing pockets and multiple handles to allow for convenient and efficient access to golf gear while the bag is loaded on the cart. Golf cart bags are typically larger than stand bags, but truly maximize the utility of golf cart storage.
When looking for the best golf cart bags, you won’t come across a better one than the Lux XV Cart Bag. This utility-driven cart bag is mindfully crafted for optimal performance on a golf cart or trolley. It showcases tour-grade synthetic leather with a smooth, matte finish and TPR-coated top handles for added durability.

The Lux XV is aptly named for its fifteen full-length, fully-enclosed dividers that include a dedicated putter well. This generously sized, TPR-coated putter well accommodates all club grip sizes and accounts for putter hang. These features prevent clubs from tangling and minimize wear and tear on grips.
The Lux XV golf cart bag features smart storage like forward-facing pockets, garment compartments, and dual-side pockets. One of the most notable storage features is the “upper pocket pod” that snaps over a cart strap for quick access to rangefinders, valuables, or other small items. With this purposeful organization, your favorite golfer will never worry about their important gear getting lost amongst larger items.
