These gifts made the holiday season for plenty of golfers. Now it's time to get your hands on your own.
Ah, the holiday season. The season of giving is a splendid time to be a golfer — a great restocking for the season ahead. But not all golf gifts are created equal. Particularly not, it turns out, when said gifts are often being distributed by non-golfers.
This paradox is the origin story of one of golf’s great holiday traditions — from the crew at No Laying Up — of recounting the very worst golf gifts of the holiday season.
🚨🚨It’s time!🚨🚨 The Christmas Day tradition of the "unusable golf gift from your non-golfer relative” pictures. Send ‘em in and we’ll share the best ones.
While that’s all in good fun, today’s Editor’s Picks takes a deeper look at the other side of the coin: the gifts golfers actually enjoyed receiving this season.
Every year, it seems a handful of gifts become trendsetters. These gifts, the good ones, wind up at Holiday Parties and Secret Santas across the world. Below, find six of those gifts spanning every corner of the golf world. If they weren’t under your tree this Christmas, it’s not too late to scoop them up for the year ahead.
