After all, finding the right gear can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when some products come with a hefty price tag. So, whether you’re shopping for the perfect holiday gift or looking to revamp your own gear, we’ve got you covered with our top 10 picks for 2024!
Chervò: The Luxurious Golf Shirt
First up, let’s talk about Chervò. Now, don’t get us wrong – this isn’t the cheapest option out there, with shirts and shorts usually around $200. However, if you’re in the market for a golf shirt you can actually feel good about, this Italian brand might just be what you’re looking for. The 2024 Resort collection, inspired by water, features shirts that are lightweight, breathable, and stylish. Just remember, skip the tumble dryer to keep it looking brand new!
Sunglasses: Scheydens vs. USwing
When it comes to sunglasses, you might be tempted by the USwing brand with its flashy $600 price tag, but let me tell you, my trusty Scheydens have outperformed during test rounds. These shades are versatile and around $179, making them a much sounder investment for golfers who want great functionality without breaking the bank.
Merrell Golf Shoes: The Hybrid Solution
Now, let’s get into the footwear. Ever wondered if you really need golf-specific shoes? I certainly did after trying out the green Merrells. They impressed me so much that they made me think trail shoes were enough! These babies are comfy, waterproof, and they definitely won’t cramp your style on the course. Talk about a win-win!
Kids Golf Clubs: Start Them Young!
Shifting gears to the younger generation! If you have little ones looking to get on the green, check out the five-club TOT set priced at $189. Even my three-and-a-half-year-old was enamored with its vibrant blue color and snazzy golf bag. Perfect for kids between 38 and 42 inches tall, it’s never been easier to introduce the next generation to the game.
Ben Hogan’s Classic Forged Irons
Golfers looking for classic functionality should check out the PTx forged irons from Ben Hogan. These hand-built clubs range from $699 to $949 and are nothing short of fantastic. Players like myself experienced a noticeable lift in distance, with about 5-7 extra yards per club. Classic feel, modern results!
Cocktail Time with High Camp Flasks
Onto drinks! For all the celebratory moments after a good round, check out the High Camp Flasks. Forget traditional metal flasks; these beauties can hold up to 750ml of your favorite spirits or coffee, doubling as tumblers; it’s practical luxury at its best!
Stay Cool with Lululemon’s ShowZero Technology
Also making waves this year is the Lululemon ShowZero polo. Retailing at $98, this shirt does wonders to keep sweat at bay. After wearing it during rounds, it quickly became my most comfortable pick – just wish there were more colors!
Stylish Sunglasses from Costa
Finally, for all fashion enthusiasts, don’t overlook the Costa Diego Sunglasses at around $303. Tiger Woods recently made waves sporting them, and with their unique design and color-enhancing polarization, who wouldn’t want a pair?
Bushnell Pro X3+ Laser Rangefinder: Lock It In!
For the tech-savvy golfers out there, the Bushnell Pro X3+ Laser Rangefinder priced around $599.99 is a must. It features a cool visual jolt that assists in confirming distances. Talk about high-tech!
