There’s a lot of interesting tech entering the golf sphere, taking advantage of GPS, smartphone apps, and the like. The latest gen Arccos sports 15 individual sensors that stick into the grips of each club to track every angle of your golf game. We’re talking pro-level stats and a precise rangefinder, one that works around the specific climate and elevation. And setup only takes about 10 minutes.

Tired of driving to the range? This net opens up to a 10 by 7 foot size that’s big enough to practice driving the ball. The best part is it’s totally packable. That, and it’s on sale, of course.
Blue Tees Golf Player+ GPS Speaker with Touch Screen Display

The Player+ blends together two vital gadgets a weekend warrior needs: a Bluetooth speaker and a rangefinder. The speaker is big enough to give you quality tunes, yet portable enough to fit in a golf bag. On the end of the speaker is the rangefinder, which dials in your yardage to the pin with excellent precision, and then reads off the info to the small display screen. Battery life lasts up to 10 hours, so you can use this bad boy through 36 holes without a charge. Isn’t it beautiful?
Putt-A-Bout Grassroots Par Three Putting Green (9-feet x 3-feet)

“Drive for show and putt for dough,” is how the saying goes. Every golfer can always benefit from more (and more consistent) practice on the greens. Give him the ability to do so right from home by practicing those within-10-foot putts that are oh so crucial to drain in a round.
Bonobos Performance Link Pants

Retailer
It’s time he had a pair of technical golf pants. The Performance Link Pants from Bonobos are just that—they’re lightweight, have a subtle stretch, and are breathable even on the hottest of days. Our editors have played plenty of rounds in these and consider them the premiere golf pant.
Redtiger Golf Rangefinder with Slope

Retailer
A rangefinder is a great gift to help his play on the course—it’s a little easier when you know exactly how far you’re trying to hit the ball! We’ve been testing this one from Redtiger lately and has great battery life (and is USB-C rechargeable), is easy to lock onto the pin, and takes slope into account during measurements.

Motion Performance 1/4 Zip

It’s true: men dress better for their 8 a.m. tee time than they do for arguably anything else. A quarter zip is a course staple, and it’s versatile enough to be worn for those other, less important occasions. This one from Johnnie-O is one of our favorites, and it comes in some seriously awesome colors, too.
Tifosi Rivet Sport Sunglasses

Retailer
We are team pro shades on the course (your can’t ever go wrong protecting your eyes), and as such are always looking for sunglasses that perform but also feel like they’re not really there. Tifosi, makers of some great cycling and sport glasses, do a great job for an affordable price with the Rivets here.

Either way, a Five Iron Golf gift card has him covered.

Sun Day Red
Presidio

For a shoe that’s great on or off the course, Sun Day Red’s new Presidio is the brand’s first spikeless shoe. But it still offers plenty of traction and stability with multi-directional lugs and a TPU lateral stability system. And the EVA midsole provides that all-day comfort.
Titleist Tour Aussie Hat

Retailer
The summer sun on the course is no joke. So make sure he’s fully protected with this Titleist bucket hat. They tend to go in-and-out-of style every few years, and right now they’re in (though if you ask us, shielding yourself from the sun is never out of style).

L.A.B. Golf DF3 Stock

Retailer
You might be thinking, “That’s a putter?” If so, let us introduce you to L.A.B. Golf’s putters—that stands for lie angle balance. Lie angle balance is all about keeping the putter face square to the ball. And L.A.B. Golf’s putters stay squarer through the swing because of the shapes and weighting. And that’s a reason why more and more PGA tour players seem to be pulling them out of the bag each week. And if they’re more of a traditional blade putter guy, well L.A.B. just released the Link 2.1 for them.
Tally Tumbler Tally Tumbler Golf (Birdie Black)

Northwind Personalized Golf Ball Markers Set of 2

These timeless golf markers are made with fine leather and can be customized with his initials. Choose from three different leather options: brown, natural, or tan.
RADMOR Charles Long Sleeve Pique

We typically think of polos as the only course-approved golf shirt, but a button-down can elevate their look. If they’re a country club member, this is a need, not a want. This upscale shirt looks great under a vest or on its own, tucked in, and the breathable cotton fabric lets them play scratch golf and look good while doing it. It’s also versatile enough of a shirt to wear outside of golf—the gift that keeps on giving.
Ascent Golf Multitool

Golfers deserve cool multitools too. This one measures 5 x 3.5 inches and features seven tools: a ball market, brush, stroke counter, cleat tightener, club groove cleaner, a divot repair tool, and a bottle opener with screwdriver.
Ghost Golf Magnetic Microfiber Towel

Retailer
A good golf towel should be durable, microfiber, and be clippable to your bag. But the Ghost Golf Towel takes it a step further with a magnet so you can pick it up with a club face, not even having to bend down.
ESPN 1-Year Subscription

An ESPN+ subscription will gain him access to watching nearly all of the PGA tournaments of the year, plus extra golf content outside of the live events.
Mythinglogic Golf Storage Garage Organizer

If his golf gear is all over the place, then this club will do wonders. It holds up to two full bags, plus it has shelving for shoes, balls, apparel, you name it.
Garmin Approach S70 GPS Golf Watch

Retailer
While a rangefinder is a great piece of gear on the course, I’ve become enamored this season with this watch option from Garmin. Instead of having to grab the rangefinder, line up the flag, and lock onto it, I simply just flick my wrist and the GPS map of the hole you see here pops up. It provides front, center, and back distances to the green, takes slope and wind into account for a plays like distance, and you can also track your scores. Ultimate golf gift.

Greyson Clothiers Tropical Weight Merino Wool Button-Up Cardigan

Cardigans offer a serious throwback look, but they’re making a huge comeback on the course. If he’s part of a country club or a member at a private course, it’s basically an essential. This one from Greyson is the perfect mix of form and function. It’s made from 100% Merino wool, offering plenty of breathability when layering. It’s ideal for fall and early spring golf, but really, he can wear it year-round on and off the course.
Caddy Splash Golf Water Brush

This nifty device makes it easy to shine your clubs up as you play. It holds up to 4 oz of cleaner that can be squeezed directly through the brush for quick use. Best of all it’s compact and attaches to your golf bag (11 x 5 inches design).
Mizzen+Main Northwood Jacket – Black

Just because it’s warm-weather golf season doesn’t mean he doesn’t have to worry about the elements anymore. Rather, he doesn’t need to bundle but instead just has to protect himself from wind and rain. This jacket is breezy, stylish, and water-resistant—what we’d consider the big three.
High Camp Flasks Torch Flask

This is probably the coolest flask I own. The torch is made for the course and features a simple, one-press flip lid for easy access, and a magnetically integrated shot glass if you really want to celebrate that birdie.
Pair of Thieves Athletic Cotton Low Cut 6 Pack

You can never go wrong with some athletic performance socks. Mesh panels, strategic cushioning, targeted compression for arch support, and a moisture-wicking fabric mean his feet will stay comfy and dry while walking 18 holes. And a six-pack of ’em for under $15? His dogs will thank you.
