I absolutely love this hoodie. Super-soft cashmere makes it a luxe item, while the hoodie enables you to dress it up or down. It’s available in more than a dozen colors, but I’m partial to this cool camo print.

After years of being a roll-aboard suitcase person, I gave this garment-bag duffle a spin and am forever changed.

This fun “GOLF” sweater was a hit when it was first released in solid colors, but I think I might love this new striped iteration even more.

Another fleece selection! I absolutely love this zip-up for its lifestyle vibe. The color is bright and it looks so warm and cozy. Plus, it’s from Zero Restriction, so you know it can battle the elements with the best of them.
Zero Restriction Stevie Sherpa Jacket
This gorgeous sweater jacket from Radmor caught my eye because it looks so polished. Wear it unzipped with a complementary top and it’s a useful third piece, or zip it up and let it carry the outfit on its own.
Radmor Stella Recycled Sweater Jacket – Sable
A knit glove — say what? This cool collab from the folks at Seamus and Clinch Golf makes this breathable, durable glove a unique gift. For the skeptics, Seamus confirms that wear testing revealed that condensation from the cold makes the glove perform at its highest level.
Seamus x Clinch Golf Black and White Houndstooth Glove
I’ve always thought corduroys were so cool and stylish — but unfortunately often unpractical for golf. Not anymore! Linksoul has perfected a cotton/poly/spandex blend that resulted in a pair of cords you can comfortably sport year-round.
Linksoul MacKenzie Stretch Cord 5-Pocket Pant – Ellis Straight
With 167 printed-polo options to choose from, there’s something for everyone on Rhoback’s website. But regardless of which print you go with, every polo is stretchy, comfortable and stylish.
Rhoback Short Sleeve Performance Polo
I was immediately struck by this TravisMathew polo when I was browsing the site. It’s hard to find a long-sleeve polo that doesn’t look frumpy. This one has an attractive slim fit and even has button cuffs on the sleeve, making it the perfect choice for a chilly round and a dressed-up dinner date.
TravisMathew State Room Polo
If you’re looking for a classic gift, you can’t go wrong with a classic brand. This RLX Ralph Lauren polo is universally flattering, with horizontal navy stripes, a just-loose-enough fit and sleeves just the right length. A slam dunk.

It’s fun to give a gift that a person wouldn’t always think of buying for themselves. A shoe bag is a great example — especially a premium selection like this one from Hudson Sutler. Billed as “part shoe-carrying bag, part beer smuggler,” this bag is big enough to accommodate a size-15 cleat and features a leather-wrapped cotton handle and zippered valuables pocket.

For the recipient who isn’t afraid to stand out in a crowd, Bad Birdie has a plethora of bright and colorful polo options. Putting one on is an instant mood lift.
Bad Birdie Leisurely Core Performance Polo
Johnnie-O has become my go-to for elevated pieces that feel both timeless and of-the-moment. This sweater is one example. You can find crew-neck sweaters from just about every brand. But this one feels different: the soft merino wool is garment-dyed to make it look like it’s older than it is. The texture is soft, beautiful and looks lived-in. It’s just dressy enough and somehow just casual enough too. Perfect!
Johnnie-O Burgess Garment-Dyed Crewneck Sweater
Vests don’t get enough attention, but they are so useful when it comes to the shoulder season and those 50- and 60-degree days. They’re a perfect insulator without restricting your arms. This pick from PXG is gorgeous, elevated by a custom quilting pattern and contrast piping.
PXG Men’s Range X Quilted Puffer Vest
I’m never without my sunglasses when I play, and this pair has been a staple since the spring. I love the pink acetate frames with champagne lenses. They are lightweight and stay on my face when I swing. And the cat-eye shape is cool and trendy.
Revo Perry
If you’re the type of player who likes to change their shoes immediately after a round, these slides are for you! Lightweight, comfortable, durable, easy to put on and easy to clean, these sandals are suitable for the pool, too.

My husband, a club pro, wears pants to work every day. And after receiving a sample of these pants from Holderness & Bourne, he ordered them in every color. They are SO flattering, with stretch and room in the thighs. The tapered bottom looks tailored and fresh, and a sticky lining in the waistband helps keep your polo tucked in.
