As 2021 comes to a close and we turn the page to 2022, GOLF staffers are taking a minute to reflect on … whatever they want. Welcome to 21 for 21.

Since launching the GOLF Pro Shop, we have editorially curated our favorite apparel, gear, gadgets, training aids, and clubs for you. In the last year, I did my part to test and try on a plethora of new golf offerings. These are the 21 golf products that stood out to me in 2021.
G-Tech Heated Pouch
Once the temperature drops, this heated pouch comes with me everywhere on and off the course. It’s a round/life-saver.

2. Perfect Practice
It’s rare to find a training aid that doubles for home decor. With the Perfect Practice mat, you can get away with it. That’s a win-win.
3. Phone Caddy
I hate when my phone goes off in my pocket in the middle of the round. At the same time, I still want my phone readily accessible during my round. The Phone Caddy solves that dilemma.
4. Lag Shot Golf
I struggle with flipping at the ball. My ball-striking has lacked for years because of it. The Lag Shot training aid has helped me make great strides.
5. Western Birch Golf Tees
Simply put, there are the best tees on the market. They’re a must-have in every golfer’s bag.
6. Rokform G-ROK Speaker
I don’t like silence on the course. My G-ROK speaker is either hanging from my bag or slapped onto my golf cart rail (it’s magnetic) for every round.
7. Radmor Higgins Hoodie
I discovered Radmor this year, and I’m glad I did. This hoodie is my go-to.
8. Rhoback “Poly” Hat
Rhoback has my favorite logo in the game and their poly hat is my favorite hat in the game. You rarely spot me without it.
9. EGW Puma Cloudspun Crewneck
Puma’s entire Cloudspun collection is, well, like wearing a cloud. To say this crewneck is comfortable would be an understatement.
10. Birdie Juice Hoodie
If you’re a fan of Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz, you need this hoodie. Who doesn’t love a little birdie juice?
11. Birdie Juice Script Hat
If you know, you know. Represent this hat with pride.
12. B. Draddy Russ Crewneck
There’s something about this combination of crewneck and pouch that I love. It’s usually only found on a hoodie. With the trend moving towards crewneck these days, it’s hard to beat this offering from B. Draddy.
13. GOLF “relaxed” hat
The best dad hat on the market. Enough said.

14. Sun Mountain Push-Cart
I am the resident push-cart expert at GOLF. If I had my choice, I would use one every round. My go-to is:
15. Palm Golf Shamrock Glove
I can’t get enough of this Shamrock glove. Reilly and Shamrocks go together well, and it’s why I’m often wearing this Palm Golf glove.

16. Stitch Knit Headcovers
Call me old fashion, but I love a knit headcover. When I get a new driver or fairway wood, the first thing I do is rip off the cover it came with. The second thing I do is put a Stitch knit headcover on it.

17. Jones Sports Company Utility Rover
If you’re looking for a new carry bag, look no further. Jones makes bags that are as good as it gets.
18. FootJoy Rain Gloves
No one makes a better all-weather glove than FootJoy. I brought these to Bandon Dunes with me earlier in the year and they’re the most clutch “just in case” accessory I always have on me.
19. True Linkswear True Knit II
These are the most comfortable golf shoes I’ve ever worn. Trust me.
20. Linksoul 4-way Stretch Boardwalker
I wear these Linksoul shorts everywhere I go in the summer. They’re perfect for 18 holes, the beach or happy hour. There’s nowhere I won’t wear my Boardwalker shorts.
21. Goodboy Originals
From matchbooks to pencils to golf tees, Goodboy Originals creates art from special places out of objects that might not otherwise be perceived as special. These works of art are perfect for any golfer’s home office. I can’t get enough of these offerings.
