If you’re already fatigued by the deluge of holiday toy catalogs and filled with dread from the multitude of character playsets your kids are requesting this holiday season, golf-centric gifts are a great way to encourage your kids to get up, get active and get out of the house and on to the course.

I’m old enough to remember when junior gear was in fairly limited supply. That’s not the case these days, with brands creating miniature versions of the performance-tech adults love, and that goes for apparel and equipment.
