$215 | Dagne Dover Buy Now Igloo X TravisMathew

We can’t get enough of this collaboration between TravisMathew and Igloo. The collection includes five different beverage-cooling items, but this retro cooler would look great in the basket of a golf cart. With a capacity of nine cans and a secure swivel lid for easy transport without spills, it’s a stylish upgrade to an old favorite.

$60 | Igloo Buy Now Midspring Golf Cart Sweater We’ve had our eye on this golf-themed sweater for a bit. In addition to the fun design, navy varsity stripes on the sleeves add a stylishly preppy touch to the cotton crewneck we’ll be wearing all winter. $148 | Midspring Buy Now Maxfli 2024 Pro Travel Cover Delivery Box This travel cover will make every traveler smile and will certainly be easy to find in the luggage carousel.

$105 Buy Now Eddie Bauer Men’s Voyager Flex Fleece-Lined Chino Pants

$99 | Eddie Bauer Buy Now CLEAR Membership

A Clear membership makes the airport security process a little less stressful, and it is an unexpected gift idea they’ll appreciate the next time TSA lines are wrapped around the building.

$199/year | Clear Buy Now SelfieGOLF Record Golf Swing Cellphone Holder

We hate to admit it, but taking swing videos has become an integral part of practice routines and swing-improvement plans. This handy phone clip attaches to an alignment stick for an easy recording process. It’s way more subtle than carrying around a tripod and eliminates the need to ask a stranger to record you on the range.

$35 Buy Now Theragun Elite

For those prone to feel every swing and uphill climb in the hours and days after they play, we get it, there’s only so much Advil and rest can do. And while a personal masseuse would be a great, a massage gun, like this Theragun, is a great gift to help aid in recovery and reduce post-round pains. And, it won’t even judge you while you complain at length about your short game.

$399 | Therabody Buy Now Perfect Practice Perfect Putting Mat – Standard Edition

Putting well is such a confidence boost. Unfortunately, feel is the first thing to go (and seems like the last to come back) during the winter, so being able to roll some putts and still be attached to my putter would be a massive help to any game once it gets warmer.

$160 | Golf Galaxy Buy Now Uther Glove Holder

Every golfer needs a proper place to store gloves between rounds, trust us, you’ll certainly get little more life out of each glove if you do. This glove holder from Uther can accommodate four gloves divided sections to keep each sealed up and laying flat, so they don’t become crinkled messes at the bottom of a pocket in the golf bag.

$80 | Uther Buy Now Moment Pro Tripod Mount for MagSafe

This MagSafe Tripod Mount will hold an iPhone securely without any scratches or wobbles. It’s a universal mount that will connect to any tripod or grip. It’s great to connect it to the Grifti Quick Release Clamp, which can attach to your golf bag to essentially turn it into a tripod for swing videos or to snap a quick photo of the foursome post-round.
