If you are as clumsy or forgetful as me, you lose things constantly. And that’s what happened to my alignment sticks a while back. This year, I’m replacing my beloved Hazy Sticks set with another and a different color scheme. They have over a dozen different styles to choose from, so it’s easy to find one you’ll love. Golfers you are buying for would be big fans, too. As for the Miura sweatshirt? I’m just a big fan of the logo and think it looks sweet — and it’s also currently half off at just $47.50. Tough to beat. — Josh Berhow

Sun Mountain ClubGlider Meridian Golf Travel Bag

Sun Mountain ClubGlider Meridian Golf Travel Bag

The Meridian minimizes the hassle of traveling with your golf gear. Dense foam padding through the top of the bag protects your clubs; the leg mechanism supports the weight of your bag; and the pivoting wheels make the bag highly maneuverable. Pulling a loaded ClubGlider is nearly effortless.

$339.99 from www.sunmountain.com

I’ve had my current travel bag for over 10 years, and it’s about time I got a replacement. I often watch in jealousy as my fellow airport travelers glide their clubs across the terminal and I’m ready to join their ranks. With as much travel as I do with my sticks, a travel bag like this will be a worthwhile investment. — Zephyr Melton

ZBiotics Pre-Alcohol Probiotic Drink

ZBiotics Pre-Alcohol Probiotic Drink

ZBiotics Pre-Alcohol Probiotic Drink breaks down an unwanted alcohol byproduct called acetaldehyde – the primary culprit behind rough mornings after drinking.

$9/bottle from zbiotics.com

Waterboy

Waterboy

Sugar-free hydrations that tastes good, is electrolyte-packed and scientifically formulated for rapid absorption.

$39.99 from www.waterboy.com

Perfect Roll Putting Mirror

The theme of these holidays for me is my newfound old age, which is manifesting in two pretty ugly ways: hangovers and putting yips. I wish I could say I’m willing to take the difficult steps of changing the inherent issues that cause these problems — alcohol consumption and intrusive thinking — but I am honest enough to know that I am not. So, in lieu of fixing the problem, I’ll buy products aimed to help me mitigate the negative effects. I was a skeptic of ZBiotics’ pre-alcohol supplement even after learning from the company’s whiz founder about its anti-hangover probiotic, but am less so now that I have seen its effects in my life. (Not a miracle product by any means, but if you get hangovers like I do, even modest improvements are crucial.) Speaking of positive effects, I am obsessed with pre-, during- and post-drinking hydration, and would mainline Waterboy’s post-hangover electrolytes straight into my veins if I possessed the medical knowhow (I don’t). Both products, I pray, will help my famously shaky hands around the greens on certain Saturday morning tee times. And maybe if I’m lucky, they’ll even allow me to go in early and practice my putting on my brand-new putting mirror. — James Colgan

TGL Boston Common Hat

TGL Boston Common Hat

The ’47 Hitch is a retro-inspired silhouette constructed with a pinched five-panel crown.

$34.99 from www.shoptglgolf.com

What do I want for Christmas? I want a Ballfrog hat. I’m not short on logoed gear from New England sports teams but I still don’t have anything with the green and white of Boston Common GC. Either TGL becomes a thing and I was an early adopter or it goes up in spectacular flames and my Men’s ’47 Hunter Green TGL Boston Common Golf Hitch Adjustable Hat becomes a cool artifact and a snapshot in time from one of the weirdest moments in pro golf’s history. And yeah, just gimme the clean logo. No text so only the real ones know. — Dylan Dethier

Short Game Gains Trigon Toolkit

Short Game Gains Trigon Toolkit

Our most innovative bundle yet- the Trigon Toolkit comes with 4 putting aids. First, the Steel Trigon Mirror is a double-sided reflective plate for checking eye line, practicing start line, face alignment, aim, and enforcing center contact. It also acts as a stencil, working alongside the Putting Chalk Pens to create an identical alignment setup on grass. Next up, the Trigon Toolkit includes a double sided, reflective steel shoulder alignment mirror. The flip side acts as a ruler to measure setup and calibrate your stroke length. On top of that, this bundle boasts 2 Putting Chalk Pens, filled with non-toxic, water based chalk for creating aim lines, alignment tracks, and start line graphics. These wipe away easily with a damp cloth and don’t damage or kill the grass. Lastly, this kit includes a retractable aim string. This can be used to align the Trigon to a desired aim point, whether it’s the hole or a secondary point. This helps with not only aim, but start line, and green reading. Check out our tutorial videos for tips, tricks and drills to improve your game!

I’ve always been a pretty good putter, but lately my stroke has felt off. So I’m adding this putting toolkit from Short Game Gains to my wishlist. The mirrored putting plate is great for checking eyeline and when coupled with the shoulder alignment mirror, you can be sure your upper body is square at setup — a fault I usually slip into when I haven’t been practicing. I also love that the putting plate includes tee holes for a gate drill. I find it’s the best drill to practice delivering a square putter face at impact and helps you hit more putts off the sweet spot. — Maddi MacClurg

GOLF Magazine 2022-2023 U.S. Top 100 Golf Course Board

I’m a sucker for good golf-themed wall art, and while my colleague Josh Berhow went over some of his favorite additions to his home decor, I always fixate on the beautiful walnut peg boards to mark off each of the Top 100 Courses you get to to play. Not only are they a fantastic option to cover a bare wall, but they can help you brag to your buddies. The only question I have to answer when I eventually get my own is: Top 100 U.S. or Top 100 World? — Jack Hirsh

Lululemon Cinch-Waist Fleece Jacket

Lululemon Cinch-Waist Fleece Jacket

Reach for this jacket when the first frost hits. Soft fleece fabric and strategically placed water-repellent panels keep you warm and cozy.

$188 from fave.co

I came across this fleece jacket when I was researching items for GOLF’s Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide, and I was instantly in love. Fleece is very on-trend right now, and this iteration from Lulu has so many attractive details: a full-zip, hip-length, cinchable waist, relaxed fit. This jacket is like a windbreaker and a cozy sweater all in one package — the perfect weight for an Arizona winter. — Jessica Marksbury
