10. Golf Tees
A great Christmas stocking stuffer is small, inexpensive, and useful. For a golfer that describes golf tees.
The practical use of the tee is to prop the ball up for a golfer for his first shot. What may not be apparent to you, is how quickly these little pieces of wood can be consumed. Once the ball is struck off the tee, one of two things happens to the tee. It either flies out of the ground forward, or it stay stuck in the ground.
If the tee flies forward then a golfer must commence the scavenger hunt to find it. Sometimes this is easy if the tee didn’t fly too far, often it is a challenge because nobody watches to see wear the tee lands. A golfer will usually look around for his tee for max 5 seconds, if it is not found the tee is left as fertilizer, as the golfer has plenty more in his bag. The other thing that could occur to the tee is that it remains stuck in the ground and breaks off, rendering the tee useless. Depending how diligent the golfer is at retrieving his tee, he could exhaust 18 of these little pieces of wood each time he golfs. Ten rounds of golf, and that is 180 tees used.
The other thing to know about tees is that they come in a variety of lengths. The height a golfer will tee the ball for a driver is different then the height for an iron. For a driver the golfer needs a longer tee, we would recommend the standard 2 ¾ inch tee. If you know your man likes to tee the ball high then you can go up to 3 ¼ , or even 4 inches. For irons your want to have the smallest length possible, in most cases 1 ½ inches.
For the price tees go for they are the ideal Christmas stocking stuffer, grab a couple of bags for your man’s sock they won’t go to waste.
9. Nike 3-Pack Golf Belts
For years Tiger Woods was the face of Nike Golf. With his prolonged absence Nike has gotten out of the equipment side of golf, but they are still making great golf apparel that is the preference of many tour pros. From Polos, to shoes Nike is still a leading brand in Golf Apparel. Top pros such as Brooks Kopeka, Tony Finau, Tommy Fleetwood, and Tiger Woods himself who is presently making his comeback to golf wear Nike on the golf course.
A golf belt is one of the those forgotten golf apparel items. Every golfer has a closet full of polos, pants and shorts, but what is the one items that ties all those things together, a good belt. Beyond the practical use of holding up the desired slacks, the belt is an important element to proper golf style. A polo needs to be tucked, and the transition from polo to pants is bland without a belt. With the varierty of polo, and pants combo, a golfer also needs to have a variety of belts. Nike has you covered with this great 3 pack of belts. The beauty of this 3 pack is that it comes in 4 different color combos, so you will find the right shade to meet your man’s wardrobe.
The way a man looks is a reflection on you as a woman. Make sure your man is dapper with this great belt 3 pack. At the prices these are sold on Amazon, there is no excuse to not put it in your man’s Christmas sock.
8. Pocket Bunkers
One of the most frustrating things a golfer can experience is to play a shot out of the sand. A golfer will hit the driving range, practice their putting, but how often do they practice a sand shot. It’s not because they think they are good enough that they will never find themselves in the sand. The reality is not many courses have sand trap areas to practice in, and we are assuming you don’t have a sand pit in the back yard. A sand shot is a different type of shot, and approaching it wrong can put the golfer in a world of hurt.
The Pocket Bunker looks to offer a way to work on sand shots even when a sand trap is not available. It is a precision designed tool aimed at improving the golfer sand shots by simulating it. Now, when that moment strikes the golfer is approaching the shot with confidence rather than fear. That element alone is huge in the mental aspect of golf. One of our fears with this product was that after a few hits the plastic legs would break off. Don’t worry about that, this product is remarkably durable.
We find it amazing that some amateurs will plunk down a hundred dollars plus for a new sand wedge, and not know how to properly use that club. For less than $20 you can pick up a pocket bunker, and help the golfer perfect how to hit the club that is already in his bag. The single pack of the pocket will fit perfectly in the Christmas Sock. If the golfer loves the product, and needs more he can go back and grab a 3 pack of these at a later time. This Christmas help your golfer play the most frustrating shot in golf with the Pocket Bunker.
7. Ben Hogan's Five Lessons
This book is considered by many golfers to be the Golf Bible. Ben Hogan’s 5 Lessons was done as a serialized set of articles for Sports Illustrated in 1957, and then turned into a timeless classic book.
Ben Hogan is one of the greatest golfers in the history of the sport. He believed that any golfer with average coordination can learn to be great if one applies themselves patiently and intelligently. With the techniques revealed in this classic book, the golfer can learn how to make his game work step-by-step and stroke by stroke. In each chapter, a different experience tested fundamental is explained and demonstrated with clear illustrations, as though Hogan were giving a personal lesson himself. Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons is a must read for anyone who knows that fundamentals are where champions begin.
This Christmas stocking stuffer is perfect for a senior golfer who probably remembers who Ben Hogan was, and what he meant to the game. In the technology driven era we live in younger golfers might not fully appreciate the book, but a senior who still enjoys getting lost in a book will love this little gift. It is small and cheap enough that it fits as a great stocking stuffer.
6. Dr. Scholl's Odor Foot Spray
Where the ball strikes the club face plays a pivotal role in maximizing distance, and accuracy. Off center hits are going to produce less powerful shots, and a different spin depending where on the club face the ball is struck. Your man may think he is hitting the center of the club consistently, but the reality is that good golfers (single handicappers) hit the sweet spot less than 20% of the time. Using this inexpensive foot spray will give him a simple way of knowing exactly where he is hitting the ball.
There is a very good chance your man doesn’t even know about how the foot spray can be used to help his game. He will think you are trying to send him a message about his foot odor when he finds this in his sock. When you explain him how it can be used to improve his golf game you are going to shock him. He will be scratching his head for days wondering how you ever discovered this. But once he finally tries it out, and sees the simple effective results he is going to be showering you with praise.
A single can fits very nicely as a stocking stuffer. The added bonus is that you still can use it if your man does have less then desirable smelling shoes. It’s a win win situation for both of you, so toss one in his sock.
5. TruGroove Golf Club Groove Sharpener
Iron golf clubs have horizontal grooves across the club face. The purpose of these grooves is to produce back spin on the ball when it is struck. Producing good spin on a club is key when trying to control the ball to get it close to the hole on approach shots. The problem is these clubs are constantly interacting with the ground. Chunking up big divots will get dirt in between the grooves, which takes away the effectiveness of those grooves. Most golfers will just leave the dirt sit, or brush off the surface. Some might get creative and try to do a quick job of cleaning the grooves with a tee. None of that does the proper job. A golfer needs to own a club groove sharpener.
The sharpener will not only clean out the compounded dirt in the grooves, but it will sharpen them so that old worn clubs regain the bite they have lost over years of use. The product has an unheard of 4.8 of 5 star review on Amazon on over 900 reviews, which speaks for itself for how valuable golfers view this product.
The club sharpener includes a key chain that allows it to be easily attached to the golf bag It comes in 6 different colors. As an added bonus it includes two ball markers in the same color that you choose.
This handy tool is one every golfer should own but does not. If you have caught a glimpse of your man’s club and the lines on the club face look worn. This little handy tool can bring those clubs back to life. It is cheap, small, easy to use, and extremely valuable what more do you need in a stocking stuffer? Ok, you want more how about we throw in a lifetime warranty. Only question left is why you haven’t hit buy now.
4. Golf Glove – MG Golf DynaGrip (Cabretta Leather)
A golfer will generally go through at least one golf glove a season. If they golf regularly the may go through two or three. The catch 22 with golf gloves is the golfer wants them to be thin enough that they don’t loose the feel of gripping the club. But, the thinner the leather, the quicker it wears out. Which leads us to believe there is a very good chance that the golfer you are buying for needs a new golf glove.
If you noticed we stated golf glove in the singular term. This is because unlike a sport like baseball, a golfer wears a glove only on his lead hand. For a right handed golfer, that would be his left hand, and for a left handed golfer his right hand.
If you are struggling with determining what size is right the MG Golf website has a great sizing tool you can find here
The best golf gloves are made of a soft leather called Cabretta. The MG Golf Glove DynaGrip is a Cabretta Leather glove, at half the price of other major brands. There is little to no difference between this glove and those brand name gloves. The price of this glove makes it the perfect stocking stuffer Take the savings and toss this cheap gift into your man’s sock. He will certainly think you spent more on this gift then you actually did.
3. Golf Balls: Titleist Pro V1 Sleeve
When it comes to golf equipment it is often up to debate which brand or model is the best. You will usually get a healthy argument when you ask a golfer what is the best golf club, but the debate as to what is the best golf ball is rarely challenged. The king of the hill for this year and many previous years is the Titleist Pro V1. The balls accolades are mind blowing. In 2017 this ball was used for over 200 victories on various professional tours worldwide, its closest competitor had 28. Worldwide this ball is used 8x more than its closest competitors. The numbers, and performance speak for themselves there is no debate as to what is the best golf ball in the world.
A box of these balls is too big for a stocking stuffer, but a sleeve of three is a perfect size. No golfer no matter how many golf balls he owns will turn a blind eye to a sleeve of Pro V1. If you are going to go the route of golf balls pay the premium and get the best ball on the planet. It will ensure that it is a gift that is used, and appreciated. It’s the ball your man will go swimming in a pond to retrieve, because he can’t bare to lose it. Any gift that will make a man do that is more than a worthy Christmas stocking stuffer.
2. SelfieGolf
The golf swing is one of the most intricate motions in all of sports. The slightest hitch can be the difference between a perfect ball in the middle of the fairway, and one that slices 20 yards into the forest. To add complexity the motion occurs in a blink of an eye. Technology has allowed us the ability to record anything with a handheld phone including the golfers swing. The problem is how can a golfer record the video when both their hands are needed to swing the club. This is where SelfieGolf can help.
SelfieGolf is a simple tool that allows the user to capture hands-free video with complete stability from any position or any surface. The clip fits onto any alignment stick or driver, and then attaches to any golf bag to stand upright. SelfieGolf works with every phone size. Whether the phone is minuscule or giant the easy squeeze clip will adapt to any phone size or brand.
The ability to re-watch a golf swing on video is the best way for a golfer to identify what can be improved. Whether the golfer is beginner or a scratch golfer, they can all use help in improving their swing. Unfortunately, it would be very costly and impractical to have a golf coach watching them at all times to fix their swing. But, with proper video the golfer can get help and critique from just about anyone in the world. If you ever have been asked to record your golfers swing then you will know exactly how much use they will get from this little stocking stuffer.
1. STIXX Golf Brush
If your golfer takes better care of his clubs, then anything else in his life, then there is a very good chance he already owns a golf brush. If the golfer has just taken up the sport, or his clubs carry in more dirt and muck then your children, then this stocking stuffer is a must. A golf brush is mandatory for any golfer. The life span of the golf clubs extends exponentially with proper care. Even if your golfer is one who changes his clubs every year, or season, the re-sale or trade in value of his previous clubs is directly tied into how well they have been maintained.
The golf club is interacting with soil on almost every shot. Whether that be the sole of the driver, or the club face of the the iron. That clubs needs to be cleaned after almost every shot. A golfer without a brush will find a million ineffective ways to clean the club. In a best case scenario a towel will be used to wipe clean the surface. But, this does not get inside the grooves. When the grooves are covered or filled with dirt it will effect the spin of the ball off the club. If you happen to notice massive dirt stains on your golfers pants, and shirt then he is cleaning the club on his clothing. If this is the case don’t read any further and proceed directly to the buy now link!
The Stixx Golf Brush is the most effective golf brush we have found. It’s impeccable 4.6 out of 5 rating on over 400 Amazon reviews speaks for itself. The brush is a 3 in 1 tool. It has silver brass wire bristles on one side to clean irons, and softer nylon bristles on the other side for cleaning drivers and woods. At the other end of the tool is a metal spike that can be used to clean the spikes on the golf shoe. The tool can also be used as a groove cleaner in a pinch, but we recommend the TruGroove over it for that job. The tool has a handy zip line that extends over 2 feet, so that the brush is easily accessible off the golf bag.
This tool is going to single handily keep the golfers club in better condition. The price, size and essential use of it, makes it the perfect Chrstmas stocking stuffer for a golfer. We can only hope for your sake that the cleaning habits, carry over to household chores.
