Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide: Top Picks for Golf and Lifestyle Lovers

As Halloween approaches, the excitement of the winter holidays begins to swirl in the air. Although it may seem premature, many savvy shoppers are already thinking ahead, particularly those of us who want to avoid the last-minute holiday rush. With toy catalogs already landing in mailboxes, it’s evident that the countdown to holiday gifting has officially started. For those who take early shopping seriously, it’s the perfect time to compile a wish list and track prices for the best deals.

In light of the holiday season’s arrival, the GOLF staff has dedicated themselves to curating personalized gift lists that highlight standout products from this year. Each item has made an impression on us, either through our personal use or through rigorous testing. As we continue into the gifting season, we aim to inspire your shopping adventures with our recommendations, kicking off with a round-up of my seven favorite products.

1. TravisMathew Dress and Jacket Combo

One of my absolute favorites this year is the TravisMathew dress and jacket combination. Ideal for the multi-functional golfer, these pieces seamlessly transition from the course to social gatherings. The dress boasts the perfect fit—snug yet comfortable—with a sporty length that flatters without being overly revealing. Paired with a lightweight jacket offering sun protection, this combo gets a perfect score from me.

2. TravisMathew Moveknit Sleeveless Polo Dress 2.0

Keeping with the TravisMathew lineup, the Moveknit Sleeveless Polo Dress 2.0 is another gem. This piece combines style and functionality, equipped with a polo neckline and built-in shorts. Whether you’re aiming for your best golf score or making a quick grocery run, this dress has you covered—quite literally.

3. Johnnie-O Skirt

Finding the right golf skirt can be challenging, especially for petite women. However, the Johnnie-O skirt strikes the ideal balance between style and comfort. With a flattering fit, front pleat, and chic contrast undershorts, this skirt quickly became a staple in my wardrobe. Its versatility makes it suitable for both sports and casual wear.

4. WMP Sunglasses

Living in Arizona means sunglasses are a year-round necessity. This year, I discovered WMP, a brand specializing in trendy yet durable eyewear. Their sunglasses feature crystal-clear lenses and boast a fashionable edge at a faction of designer prices. Given the range of styles available, it’s easy to find multiple pairs without breaking the bank.

5. Adidas Gazelle Golf Shoes

When it comes to golf footwear, versatility is key. Adidas Gazelle spikeless golf shoes deliver incredible comfort on and off the course. Their sleek design allows them to double as fashionable lifestyle sneakers, making them an essential addition to any golfer’s wardrobe. I find them just as comfortable without socks, which is a win in my book.

6. Asher Gloves

Once you go colorful, it’s hard to revert to standard white golf gloves. Asher’s vibrant range, particularly their muted shades like Nimbus and Eggshell, adds a touch of flair to any golfer’s gear. Made with precision-cut AAA Cabretta leather, these gloves offer both style and quality—perfect for fashion-forward players looking to stand out.

7. Sunday Golf Stand Bag

The Sunday Golf Ryder S-Class stand bag continues to impress me months after I first reviewed it. This stylish and practical bag features a range of pockets—including a unique "Frosty" pocket for beverages—making it ideal for walking or riding. Its vegan leather material is easy to maintain, and the overall aesthetic is both functional and fashionable.

8. Gift-Giving Made Easy
