I’ll admit, I’m not technically buying this, but that’s only because I just picked up a very similar GPS watch and love it so much I’m recommending this similar item to you — because this one is $50 off! I got sick of being the guy asking playing partners for yardages, so I finally bought a GPS watch that I strap to my golf bag (I don’t like wearing watches on the course). It’s beautifully simplistic: easy to use with accurate yardages to hazards and to different areas of the green. And once you sync it with the course you never have to touch it again as it just updates as you move along your way. It has even more bells and whistles you might find handy, but mine is worth it simply to get a reliable number. It’s a game-changer. —Josh Berhow

Bushnell Phantom

The Bushnell Phantom easily clips onto a bag or belt or it can be mounted to a cart or metal surface with BITE magnetic mount. The Phantom has a long battery life that allows you to play up to 2 rounds before charging and features auto course recognition and auto hole advance. The Phantom GPS is preloaded with 36,000+ courses in 30 countries, and will provide front, center and back distances as well as up to 4 hazard distances per hole.

This holiday season I’m buying the Bushnell Phantom GPS for my grandpa (Pap, if you’re reading this, stop now!). He has something similar that’s on the fritz, and has mentioned a few times that he’d like a new one. This one is perfect because it mounts onto any golf cart. The flashy red color makes it more difficult to accidentally leave behind, too. This Black Friday, it’s $50 off (so less than $80!) — a deal too sweet to ignore. —Emily Haas

Nike Infinity G

The Nike Infinity G spikeless golf shoe offers cushioned comfort every step of the way with a plush sockliner and soft foam midsole. The outsole is equipped with traction bars and integrated spikes for exceptional traction and grip. The synthetic leather upper provides comfort, durability and water protection. A 1 year waterproof warranty is included.

It’s not easy finding golf shoes that are stylish, comfortable and affordable. Golf shoes often only check off one or two of those three boxes. Nike’s Infinity G shoe is the rare exception. I did a double-take when I saw kicks of that caliber with a price tag of $44.99. For me, it’s a matter of how many pairs I’m buying as gifts (and for myself). —Tim Reilly

Jones Sports Company Original Jones

This is the golf bag that started it all in 1971 and has become one of the most iconic bags in golf. Combining traditional Jones stylings with modern materials, the Original is designed specifically for the walking golfer. Water-resistant nylon keeps grips dry for those dew-sweepers and all-weather players. The retro single strap and unstructured body keeps golfing simple, while three pockets provide plenty of room for your personal items and golf accessories.

I’ve actually had my eye on a new golf bag, the Jones Sports Co Original in navy, to be exact. With all the pockets I need and a waterproof-material construction, it’s a huge improvement on my heavy bag that’s pushing 10 years old at this point. The simple look is perfect for the stylish golfer and quality from Jones Sports Co. is a given, so I know I’ll have this bag for years to come. —Rachel Bleier

Hipsters (like my colleague, Zephyr), be warned. I’m doubling down on my golf trendiness this holiday season, and I’m starting with Bonobos. Few brands blend style with fit as well as Bonobos, which is probably why they’re a favorite among younger players like myself. It’s high time for a Christmas morning look that extends beyond matching pajamas, and with Bonobos, I’ve got just that. —James Colgan

Linksoul ½ Zip Boardwalker Hoodie

The Linksoul Perforated ½ Zip Boardwalker jacket is your all-weather golf companion. This waterproof, windproof jacket features stretch fabric for comfort throughout the golf swing.

As a Texas transplant, it’s time for me to stock up on cold-weather gear, and what better way to upgrade my wardrobe than with a golf hoodie? Call me the Tyrrell Hatton of the office, because I’m about to flex in a hoodie all winter long. —Zephyr Melton

Dunning Kilmelford

Dunning’s Kilmelford sweater is a versatile product; it can be layered over a Dunning polo or worn by itself. The Kilmeford sweater is constructed with Bamboo blended fabric that provides moisture management so your skin can stay dry when sweating occurs.

Dunning’s Kilmelford sweater is designed for colder-weather play with fabric that offers both insulation and comfort. It’s designed for a pair of jeans, too. So you’re actually getting two sweaters. One for playing golf. And one for watching it at home. Now that’s a real Black Friday deal. —Nick Piastowski

I plan on playing a lot of golf this winter, but even in the warmer months, I prefer pants over shorts on the course. So this year I’m picking up a pair of Nike Dri-Fit Flex pants. They’re constructed from stretchy, breathable performance fabric for those hot July days, and paired with a good pair of thermal long underwear, I’ll be set for windy, 35-degree rounds in Brooklyn, too. —Kevin Cunningham

Adidas CodeChaos

The Adidas Code Chaos spikeless golf shoe provides a lightweight stable feel. It is constructed with a durable Adiwear rubber outsole that features Chaos Traxion with Twist Grip soft rubber.

Comfort is found in its textile lining and an INSITE sockliner that also enhances balance. The textile upper provides water protection to keep your feet dry and comes with a 1 year waterproof warranty. Need more convincing? GOLF.com’s Kevin Cunningham wrote about what makes the Code Chaos a unique spikeless shoe here.

I’m stocking up on another pair of Adidas Code Chaos. They are my favorite golf shoe ever. Seriously. I’ve walked more rounds than ever before in my life this summer and I’ve worn these every single time. Sometimes I get home and forget I’m still wearing them. Crazy as that sounds, just ask my roommate. —Sean Zak

I splurged for the original Theragun a couple years ago and it’s been an absolute game-changer. I travel — and play golf — a fair amount for work, and sometimes a quick hit with the Theragun makes it easier to get up, work out, play golf, sit on a plane and even sleep! Now it’s time to upgrade to the newer, more efficient, quieter edition. I’m feeling better just thinking about it. —Dylan Dethier

As an Arizona transplant, cold-weather golf is no longer in my vocabulary. So, sleeveless polos are where it’s at. This one from Adidas has a modern and flattering print, and plenty of stretch for comfort. I also love the button-less placket. Top that off with $20 off the original price, and I’m sold! —Jessica Marksbury
