Jessica Marksbury’s 8 favorite products of the year

TravisMathew dress and jacket

I received this dress-and-jacket combo as a gift, and I just can’t say enough good things about them. To me, these two pieces are exactly what multi-functional golf apparel should aspire to be: perfectly appropriate for wear on the course, but with a cut and style that make for a seamless transition anywhere.

The golf dress is notoriously hard to get right, and this one is my favorite I’ve ever worn. It’s super comfortable, snug-fitting (and waist-cinching!) in all the right places. The length is sporty, without being too short. And the feel is superb. A 10/10! Plus, the jacket so lightweight, I even wore it on a 90-degree day, just for sun protection.

TravisMathew Moveknit Sleeveless Polo Dress 2.0

With a polo neckline and built in shorties, you can high step and ninja kick your way into your best score or fastest grocery run yet.

$139.95 from PGA Tour Superstore

TravisMathew Travel Day Tech Woven Jacket

Think of this full-zip, lightweight stretch Tech Woven jacket the same way you would your go-to best friend.

Johnnie-O skirt

Finding a golf skirt that fits just right is a tough ask — especially for someone with a short frame like me. Length is a delicate balance — an inch too long looks frumpy, too short just feels wrong once you turn a certain age. Finding that perfect middle ground feels like a victory, and this Johnnie-O skirt wins the prize. I’m a fan of many pieces in their newly-launched women’s collection, but this skirt became a fast favorite. It is so flattering, with comfy, snug and stretchy fit, front pleat and fun contrast undershorts.

Johnnie-O Ashlyn Performance Skort

Built for sports or everyday wear, this skort is sure to be your new favorite.

$98 from Johnnie-O

WMP sunglasses

As an Arizona resident, I live in sunglasses — both on and off the course. And this year, I fell in love with a new-to-me brand. WMP makes sunnies that are trendy, lightweight and durable, with crystal-clear lenses. These babies look like designer shades but are a fraction of the price, which I appreciate because my glasses tend to take a beating. Browse through WMP’s selections for men and women and you’ll struggle to select just one frame. But at such a reasonable price point, you’ll still feel good about buying several.

WMP Eyewear Stormi

Blends vintage nostalgia and modern aesthetics with its sleek, square shape and subtle cat eye corners.

$45 from WMP Eyewear

Adidas shoes

My favorite golf shoe characteristic is its ability to function as a lifestyle shoe off the course, and it really doesn’t get any more lifestyley than these awesome Adidas Gazelles. I have two pairs, and wear them everywhere. And as an added bonus: they’re just as comfortable without socks as they are with.

Adidas Gazelle Spikeless Golf Shoes

All the details of the original sneakers plus cushioning and traction for extended comfort on the course.

$120 from Adidas

Asher gloves

Once you go colorful, there’s really no going back to standard, boring white gloves, and Asher offers a number of beautiful, colorful options. I’m especially partial to the muted shades like Nimbus and Eggshell, which go with everything, but still offer a bit of fashionable flair.

ASHER Ladies Evergreen Eggshell

The Eggshell Premium is made entirely with a single-piece, precision cut, AAA Cabretta Leather. The Premium Evergreen Collection delivers the very highest tour-grade quality materials with color and style. 100% Precision cut AAA Premium Cabretta Leather Leather Closure

Sunday Golf Stand Bag

I reviewed this bag for GOLF’s weekly “I Tried It” series several months ago, and it remains one of my favorite products of the year. This bag has received a multidtude of compliments, and for good reason. The color is rich without being too bright, and the vegan leather is easy to keep clean. Eight pockets provide ample storage for walking or riding — and I especially love the “Frosty” pocket, with room for four beverages.

Sunday Golf Ryder S-Class | Dusty Pink Vegan Leather Full Size Stand Bag

Product Details: Introducing the Sunday Golf Ryder S-Class in Dusty Pink—because real golfers wear pink, and they do it in style.

BIG MAX Dri Lite Silencio Prime

This cart bag has a unique 14-way “Silencio” top, which keeps clubs separate and silent. It really works — my test round was on a mountain track in Flagstaff, and despite multiple bumps in the cart going up and down hills, my clubs didn’t clank at all. The premium SoftGuard PU material on the body of the bag is water- and scratch-resistant and easy to clean, and there are pockets galore — 12 in total! — for all your storage needs.

Sun Mountain Matchplay Swift Sunday golf bag

I am a walking golfer, no exceptions. So when I first laid eyes on Sun Mountain’s Matchplay Swift Sunday bag at the PGA Show, I knew it was for me.

It has just a 5-inch top, but it fits a full set of 14 clubs and it’s super easy to carry. Lightweight, exactly the number of pockets I need and a super sturdy stand. This has become my go-to travel golf bag.

Jones Sports Co. Trunk Caddie

My trunk became a mess this season when I started using a remote power trolley and kept it in my car.

Just this simple trunk organizer from Jones has helped me immensely by allowing me to store my shoes vertically and giving me a place to throw golf balls, jackets and other miscellaneous items that were just floating in my trunk.

Sun Day Red Osprey golf shoes

I’m not a spiked shoe guy, so Sun Day Red’s first footwear releases didn’t really catch my eye, but their newest release, the Osprey, really surprised me.

I guess I shouldn’t have been shocked that a shoe designed for Tiger Woods would be super stable, but it’s without doubt SDR’s most comfortable shoe so far, too.

Bushnell A1-Slope rangefinder

I got several new rangefinders this year, but my favorite was actually the simplest and the smallest.

Bushnell’s new A1-Slope rangefinder fits very nicely in my hand and adds no weight to my golf bag when I play.

Bushnell A1-Slope

Precision and Slope Gone Ultra-Compact – the A1-Slope is the smallest Bushnell Golf laser rangefinder ever and features our patented, Tour-trusted Slope Technology.

$299.99 from Bushnell

Golf Pride Reverse Taper Small

I’ve never used a putter grip like the Golf Pride Reverse Taper. As someone with smaller hands, but still wants to use an “oversized” putter grip, the new RT smalls fit perfectly in my hands.

The unique larger lower-hand section of the RT also really makes my right hand feel like it’s working for my stroke, rather than against.

Read my full review here.

Golf Pride Reverse Taper Pistol (Small)

Reverse Taper putter grip technology stabilizes both hands for a more square putter face at impact. A pistol kick on the back of the grip locks the heel pad of the upper hand to the putter grip and the slim upper hand and wide lower hand offers enhanced control, no matter your gripping style. Featuring a dimpled pattern throughout to boost traction and a soft, tacky feel that plays well in all conditions.

Garmin R50 launch monitor

If you want an all-in-one launch monitor and simulator system that doesn’t even require a screen, the Garmin R50 is your answer.

Not only is it an optical launch monitor system, which makes it more accurate indoors, but the huge screen also makes it an easy transformation for your backyard hitting net. The applications are almost endless.

Grooveit Mini-G brush

I never realized how useful a club brush would be to me until I tried the Grooveit Mini-G. This is the same brush that you see PGA Tour pros clip to their belt loops while their on the range and I see why so many do it.

No longer do I need to go back to my golf bag to wipe off my clubface every few swings. And now, they have NCAA-licensed options so I can rep my Penn State Nittany Lions (despite their performance on the football field this season…).

Wilson Staff Model X Golf Balls

I have not been shy about my love and infatuation for the Wilson Staff Model X golf ball. I credit the ball for giving me more confidence on the golf course this year than any year previously, and it was the single piece of equipment that didn’t change once the entire year. I put the ball in play super early on this year and it stuck. It’s a spinnier golf ball that’s super stable in the wind, rips on wedges, and still spins in a reasonable window off the tee. There’s very little they could do to improve this golf ball in my eyes, but I’m excited to see what they might do with the next generation.

Check out my article to understand my infatuation.

Mini Drivers

Mini drivers are awesome for so many reasons. And the best part is that the market now has plenty of options. My personal favorite is the Callaway Elyte Mini because it sits in a really nice spin window, it’s incredibly accurate off the tee, and if I really have to hit it off the deck I can. The best part about any mini driver is the versatility in the build. I’ve done everything from build a 42-inch R7 Quad Mini with an 83 gram shaft to a 45″ BRNR with a 50 gram shaft. There’s so much you can do with a mini driver. I’m still not a fan of trying to replace your actual driver with a mini but, your clubs are your clubs. So whatever puts the ball in the fairway is good by me. (If you want to know why I don’t think it’s a driver replacement read my article).

If you’re looking for control, like I do, I suggest trying the Elyte Mini from Callaway. If you’re looking for an absolute bomber, I suggest trying the TaylorMade R7 Quad Mini.

TaylorMade R7 Quad Custom Mini Driver

PERFORMANCE FOR THE MODERN PLAYER Inspired by one of the most iconic models in TaylorMade history, the R7 Quad Mini Driver pays homage to what’s come before, while creating its own modern identity in the same breath. It’s that very modern design that incorporates proven TaylorMade technologies to give golfers versatility and playability. R7 QUAD WEIGHTING SYSTEM The new quad weighting system features four movable weights (13g x2, 4g x2) that provide the ultimate in spin management and shot shape control. Forward CG creates a penetrating flight best suited for maximizing distance whereas rear CG helps prioritize control and ease of use from the deck. Shot shape can also be fine-tuned helping create the most optimal flight. Additional weights can be purchased for a wider range of adjustability. INFINITY CARBON CROWN A new satin Infinity Carbon Crown has been added to the R7 Quad Mini Driver chassis creating a stunning look while saving weight for better mass optimization. The cosmetic package is clean, elegant, and confidence-inspiring.

Payntr Eighty Seven SC Golf Spikes

First-off, spikeless shoes are not golf shoes. Anybody who says so is wrong. There are significant advantages to proper golf spikes with replaceable traction. (As a disclaimer, I’ve been working with the Softspikes team for a couple of years now and there’s some research and testing I have seen to prove this, which I can’t wait to continue to share on this platform.) That being said, the Payntr Eighty Seven SC golf spikes are by far my favorites. Right out of the box they were more comfortable than every other golf spike that I own minus the Skechers (yes the Skechers). I can walk 36 holes a day with zero issue, and they are a great combination of stable and comfortable. The only downside I can think of is that there’s only two spikes in the heels, but honestly that’s just me nitpicking. I’ve never had an issue with any slipping. Playing in the rain, walking through the fall leaves, or standing on side hill lies; none of it’s a problem. Plus, they were co-designed with Jason Day, who’s my favorite golfer. So bonus points for that.

PAYNTR Jason Day Eighty Seven SC (Men’s)

In collaboration with Jason Day our newest model has arrived, the Eighty Seven SC! CLARINO Trivela™️ microfiber upper delivers lightweight support and flexibility Full WATERPROOF+ breathable membrane fused to lining and sealed with bottom gasket. ARIAPRENE® tongue & bootie offers supreme foot lockdown to provide maximum stability and lightweight, breathable support. TPU Outsole, with Fast Twist insert system, delivers traction in three dimension for the life of the shoe. PMXNitro+ Footbed delivers lightweight responsive cushioning for the life of the shoe. PMXNitro+ Midsole provides maximum energy return & ultimate under foot support. CARBITEX GearFlex™️ propulsion plate allows golfers to more effectively harness ground reaction forces.

Motocaddy M7 Remote (New Style)

Getting an electric trolley last year was a great shift for my game. I really enjoy walking, particularly in colder spring or fall weather when it doesn’t make you sweat so much, but I have problems with my knees and having to either push a manual cart or carry a bag can be tougher than I want it to be. So when Motocaddy entered the equation things go so much better. I have other friends who have electronic trollies and it’s even more fun to play and walk with them. There’s something about walking a round with your buddies that’s so enjoyable. The conversations you have walking down the fairway, and feeling a bit more free to think through your shots as you walk to your ball is great. The new style Motocaddy M7 Remote is super sleek, comes with their new battery design that doesn’t have a wire coming from it, and it’s incredibly simple to use. The remote is self-explanatory and easy to use, and the range of control is freakishly far. It’s also very easy to travel with to the course. It folds up with the flip of just a couple levers to a very compact size. If you like walking, but you want to make the physical load just a bit easier, the Motocaddy M7 Remote is the way to go.

Toulon Golf Formula 45

The Toulon Golf Formula 45 is a really unique offering. When Toulon decided to enter the low-torque putter market, they wanted to do something different. They wanted to do something to add to the category rather than just throwing a Toulon-branded option out there for the sake of having an option. The Formula 45 is a 45º toe up putter. It’s still incredibly low-torque compared to something like the standard Miami mallet from Toulon Golf, while allowing the player to more traditionally arc the putter during the stroke. Players who have been using a blade for most of their career, or players who are just so engrained in their standard putting stroke can see a large benefit in the Formula 45 compared to the Formula 90 or other face-forward style designs.

Jake’s Favorite Low-Torque Offering

Toulon Golf Formula 45 Putter

The Toulon Golf Formula 45 takes the low-torque putter trend and adapts it for golfers used to a more traditional putting stroke.

They feature plush, non-bulky cushioning and incorporate Drynamix™ yarn to effectively wick away moisture, keeping feet dry and comfortable even during sweaty activities. The socks are engineered with full-length cushioning, to protect the toes, heels, and soles during high-impact movements, thus reducing fatigue and enhancing performance.

If you’ve ever walked 18 holes and had to change your socks mid-round because of blisters or sweat, Balega socks are worth every penny. I first discovered them while prepping for my annual hiking trip, when I needed a sock that could keep up with 16-mile days. Now, these soft, moisture-wicking, almost suspiciously comfortable socks are the unsung heroes of my golf wardrobe—and the reason I finish every round blister-free.

4. Short Game Gains Signature Stainless Steel Putting Mirror

No training aid has helped me dial in my putting quite like this mirror from Short Game Gains. I love the instant feedback it gives me on keys like: eye position, alignment, distance from the ball, stance, ball position, contact and even start line. It saves me from guessing where my misses are coming from, and unlike plastic mirrors, its stainless-steel build never warps, so feedback stays true.

5. Hoka ORA Recovery Slide 3

ORA Recovery Slide 3

Built off the blueprints of the beloved ORA Slide, we’ve added four air flow channels for superior breathability. A comfort-driven style designed for downtime; this sustainable spinoff treads lighter with an earth-friendly sugarcane footbed. Grounded in the same dual-density geometry and injection-molded outsole as the original icon, the ORA Slide 3 delivers foot-cradling comfort in a future-friendly silhouette.

These might not be a “golf” product, but they’re the first thing I reach for after every round. They’re cushioned, supportive, and blissfully forgiving—a total game-changer after walking 18. Hoka also has other variations of the Ora if you prefer a more futuristic silhouette, a classic sneaker design or even flip flops.

6. Firefly Starter Pack

Firefly’s OnPulse™ technology delivers electrical pulses to stimulate the peroneal nerve in your leg, triggering muscle contractions that boost blood flow.

The last item on my list is one I’ve been eager to try: the Firefly Recovery Starter Pack. I’ve seen these pop up all over social media, used by both elite athletes and everyday folks seeking a little relief after a long run or a marathon travel day. The system works by delivering gentle pulsing stimulation to boost blood flow and speed recovery, helping you feel ready to move again sooner. I can already see them being perfect after an 18-hole round—or on flights en route to a new golf destination.

Johnny Wunder’s 1 wish for Christmas

I have had so many friends dig into TheStack and 100 percent of them got faster.

With the sticks and training protocols (and, if you really want to go deep, a radar device to chart speed) TheStack will help you build speed, sequence and flexibility incrementally over the winter. As we all know, players on Tour are getting faster and faster, and this product is of the main things I see trainers use with players. Keep in mind that just getting fast is good, but it’s not the whole story. It’s how you get fast and how you maintain the speed that’s the secret sauce.

TheStack system gives us a plan and a digestible way to build speed across the bag and keep it with simple maintenance. At my age, with two kids and 100-plus travel days a year, I’m not in a position to be in the gym or on the range for hours on end to dial it all in. This system gives me a foundation that’s easy to follow.

So to all of Santa’s helper out there, all I want for the holidays is TheStack. Let’s hit 170 mph in 2026!

Perhaps the best feature of all, though, is the strong magnet that secures the brush to the carabiner.

After over a decade of using my original travel case, this summer it was finally time to upgrade, and I opted for a Clubglider from Sun Mountain — and boy am I glad I did. With retractable support legs on the underside of the case, moving through airports is a breeze. No longer do I have to strain myself lugging a hefty bag behind me on the way to the baggae counter. With the Clubglider, my clubs cruise behind me with minimal effort. After a few months of the luxury the Clubglider provides, I’m not sure I’ll ever go back to a traditional travel bag.

Heathlander Men’s Wind Sweater

Inspired by sweaters found in Northern Scotland and Scandinavia, our unisex full zip 100% Merino wool long sleeve wind sweater is fully lined and a perfect solution for playing golf even when the temperature drops.

Since adding the Heathlander Wind Sweater to my wardrobe this fall, I’ve become obsessed. While it looks like your typical sweater at first glance, it’s actually fully lined with warm insulating material that keeps the cool fall winds from penetrating. From the second I put it on for the first time, I was hooked. This sweater is the perfect piece of gear for fall golf up north.

Reebok Club C Golf Shoes

With a classic streetwear style and plenty of comfort, these shoes are perfect to wear anywhere from the fairways of a country club to the streets of Brooklyn. I can’t reccomend them highly enough.

Vokey SM10 Wedges

Titleist Vokey SM10 Jet Black Custom Wedge

For every shot, every lie, every course, there’s a grind fit for your swing. Finding the right grind to match your swing and playing conditions will give you the best turf interaction, contact and shot performance. Master Craftsman Bob Vokey has spent decades crafting, developing and improving his tour proven grinds to fit players of all levels.Anyone can manufacture a wedge, but it takes a master to turn a piece of high-performance technology into an instrument of creative control. Bob’s six tour-proven grinds are designed to offer maximum creativity, versatility and consistency, all meticulously developed through years of working with the best players in the world. PROGRESSIVE CENTER OF GRAVITY SM9 features a progressive center of gravity (CG) throughout the lofts, which optimizes ball flight, accuracy and forgiveness. Using tapered top lines and varied hosel lengths, the Vokey R&D team has raised the height of the CG in the higher lofts, which promotes a lower, more controlled flight.The CG is also forward of the face, resulting in increased MOI, exceptional feel and a club face that simply wants to square up at impact. SPIN MILLED GROOVES SM9’s patented Spin Milled grooves are meticulously engineered through a new cutting process to maximize spin and durability. The process starts by cutting the face perfectly flat with a high-speed saw. Then every groove is individually cut based on loft and finish; low lofts (46°-54°) are designed with narrower, deeper grooves, while higher lofts (56°-62°) have wider, shallower grooves.Micro-grooves are individually cut in between grooves, which maximize spin on partial shots. A proprietary heat treatment is applied to the impact area which doubles the durability of the groove without impacting feel, making it the most durable groove in golf. The process is only complete when every Vokey wedge is 100% inspected for utmost quality and performance.

Fresh grooves are important for any avid golfer, and this year, it was time for me to upgrade. I got a set of the Vokey SM10s, and couldn’t be happier with their performance. When it comes to wedges, no one does it better than Titleist.

A lightweight bag

“Vessel, Jones Sports Co. and MacKenzie were the brands I saw over and over again in my replies,” Claire said.

Socks

“Del Campo and Flag & Bow were highly recommended,” Claire said. “Both come with subtle designs on them that add some personality. Jason Kelce tucks his golf pants into his Del Campo socks, but you can wear them however you like.”

Del Campo Performance Golf Socks

High enough to block debris, low enough to stay sleek. No slipping, no distractions. You focus on your swing, we’ll handle your feet.

$49.99 (3-pack) from Amazon

Headcovers and leather goods

“Smathers & Branson, Dormie Workshop were the most recommended brands here, and Tremont was recommended for customized head covers and more,” Claire said. “You can personalize them for your favorite golfer for a thoughtful touch.”

Dormie Money Bag Driver

The Money Bag Turn up the stakes with The Money Bag, a premium leather golf headcover that says your game isn’t just about birdies, it’s about bragging rights and walking off with your buddy’s cash. Made from Italian leather and finished with a bold dollar sign appliqué, this handcrafted golf accessory is a playful nod to all those side bets and skins games that keep the round interesting. Secure the pot, show off your style, and let everyone know you’re here to collect. Details: Crafted from Italian leather for a rich, durable feel Hand made in our workshops in Los Angeles and Halifax Green dollar sign appliqué with “Cash Money” embroidery for that winner’s attitude Finished with a gold draw string accent and Dormie’s signature cow rivet on the back Fits all modern drivers A leather headcover that’s perfect for adding fun to your next match Ready to cash in on your next round? Drop this luxury golf accessory in your bag and play for keeps.

Golf balls

“Every golfer’s favorite stocking stuffer,” Claire said. “People like Titleist ProV1xs, but you can always take a peek inside their golf bag to see what brand they prefer. Bonus points if you personalize them with their favorite number and initials.”

Titleist Pro V1x Golf Balls

Total Performance With Higher Flight And More Spin Pro V1x golf balls are the optimal premium performance choice for players looking for maximum distance, higher flight and more stopping power. Why Play Pro V1x? Pro V1x is recommended to players who are looking for high-trajectory flight, low long game spin with maximum short game spin, and firmer feel. Comparison to Pro V1 Due to its unique dimple pattern, Pro V1x has a higher flight than Pro V1. A high-gradient dual core produces slightly more iron and wedge spin than Pro V1.

Holderness & Bourne

This was the No. 1 most requested golf gift, Claire said. Choose from beautifully-constructed polos, quarter-zips, sweaters and more.

Holderness & Bourne The Berwick Crewneck Sweater

The Berwick features plush, three-ply 100% Scottish cashmere, classic crewneck styling, and premium design details such as reinforced cuffs for durability.

$585 from Holderness & Bourne

Dylan Dethier’s 5 top picks for the minimalist winter golfer

1. The best gloves in golf

Most rain gloves look kind of stupid and some don’t even work that well. Get these white/gray FootJoys, which solve both problems for just $28. This is literally a must-buy for every golfer. I cannot emphasize enough that if you play golf, like, ever, you need to own these gloves. Stick ’em in your bag, grab ’em when necessary. Thank me later.

Footjoy Raingrip

Essential equipment for rain-ready play. RainGrip offers advanced wet weather performance, comfort and durability to let you focus on your play, not the rain.

$28 from Footjoy

2. An extra layer

If we’re playing golf in Seattle we should wear a little bit of Seattle, too. If it’s pouring I’ll send you to Galvin Green or FootJoy for a rain suit; if it’s just damp or chilly grab yourself a Radmor hoodie (I’ve become obsessed with cotton and these are the best on the market), hybrid jacket or both.

Radmor Higgins Hoodie

The Higgins 2.0 is crafted from a lighter weight loop terry knit, blending Organic Pima Cotton (the finest in the world) and elastane for exceptional comfort, breathability, and all day performance.

$145 from Radmor

3. A simple bag

You might think you need a bag with a stand for wet conditions. I dunno, maybe you’re right. Maybe I’m the idiot. But the Ping Moonlite is the one for me; I’ve tried a bunch of small bags and this one acts the biggest and most durable for some reason — and it’s easy to chuck in your trunk at a moment’s notice.

4. Shoes built for the job

Another Pacific Northwest brand, True, knows what they’re doing when it comes to setting you up to walk a golf course. The Lux Hybrids are built for wet conditions (just check the descriptions for each True shoe; some are built for warm weather, some are built for all weather.)

TRUE LUX Hybrid

Our take on the modern, performance, athliesure golf shoe – the Lux Hybrid takes the best of our LUX family styles and elevates the aesthetic, fit, and function. We took our 2-year waterproof Knit upper and added a leather saddle for a more premium, classic golf aesthetic, more customizable fit and additional mid-foot stability. LUX Hybrid includes our new achilles heel pad as well as our TPU heel stabilizer and high retention elastic heel lock system for an elevated, stable fit. With updates to our signature Wanderlux® midsole compound, insert and improvements to the overall construction – this is our highest quality, and most comfortable TOUR performance shoe yet. Features Worn on TOUR 2-Year Waterproof Knit Upper Leather Stability Saddle & Lacing System Upgraded Insert & Wanderlux® Midsole Compound New Achilles Heel Pad Heel Lock System Easy Clean TPU Mud Guard TOUR Tested Tread Natural Fit Transitional Drop (~6 mm) Athletic Aesthetic

5. A speaker with perks

It’s a good speaker, it hangs off your bag, somehow it’ll tell you the yardage, too? Yes please.

Bushnell Wingman Mini GPS Golf Speaker

The Wingman Mini is a compact speaker that allows you to listen to your favorite tunes and get audible distances around the course. Ideal for both walkers and riders!

Josh Berhow’s 3 favorite items of the year

Bushnell Pro X3+ Laser Rangefinder

Precision Perfected: Next Level Performance with Wind. Pro X3+ is the most powerful, precise laser rangefinder to date – packing all of the market-leading innovations you have come to expect from the #1 Rangefinder in Golf.

~~$599.99~~ $499.99 from Fairway Jockey

View Product

The Bushnell Pro X3+ Laser is on the more expensive side, so if you splurge on this one please (and I mean please) try not to leave it behind. It has more bells and whistles than I was used to with previous rangefinders — even things like wind speed and direction when using the mobile app; although I never used it much — and has seven-times magnification. It’s also extremely accurate, which (you guessed it!) is an important feature for rangefinders.

Blue Tees Golf Series 2 Pro Slope Rangefinder

Conveniently enough for you, dear reader, is the fact that the two specific rangefinders I’m talking about are on two very different price tiers, so you can choose accordingly. Blue Tees Golf has rangefinders at a competitive price and this one does everything you need — including the handy pulse vibration when you lock on to the target — and won’t break the bank. This one, the Blue Tees Golf Series 2 Pro Slope Rangefinder, is a great option.

Sunice Hamilton Element Shield Hybrid Thermal Hooded Jacket

Enjoy ideal protection in three out of four seasons with the Hamilton thermal hybrid jacket – now with a convenient hood. Climaloft™ quilted insulation keeps you warm in temperatures as low as 50°F/10°C – even when it’s wet outside. Zip-front styling with zippered side and chest pockets.

$120 from Sunice

Those who hit the slopes might be familiar with Sunice, but the activewear brand is also a player in the golf space. One of my favorite items I added to my closet this year was a thermal hooded jacket from Sunice, which, living in Minnesota, is perfect for spring and fall golf. It’s warm, waterproof, breathable and doesn’t hinder your swing. It also looks great — and is currently on sale. I love it. You will too.

Josh Sens’ 5 golf-travel essentials

KJUS Pro3L Rain Jacket

Plenty of outerwear will keep you dry, but much of it makes you look like you’re prepping for a moon landing or restricts you like a straight jacket. The Pro3L does neither. It’s sleek, breathable, stretchable and loaded with smart, almost sneaky performance touches — rain gutters at the wrists, a hidden waist cinch that cuts bulk when you’re chipping and putting, and a featherweight feel that all but disappears once you pull it on. Think Burberry meets Batman: the aesthetic of a high-fashion house crossed with Alfred’s knack for futuristic gadgetry. Dry never looked so good, or moved so well.

Club Glove Golf Travel Bag

This is not a fresh discovery. It’s more like an old friend. I’ve had my Club Glove for the better part of a decade, and it has taken a beating on all six continents where golf is played. It has yet to tear or fray, and its zipper’s teeth remain in perfect shape. I wish the same were true of me. The bags are industrial-strength, with tough straps and nylon-reinforced stitching, in-line skate wheels that glide quietly over airport floors, and pockets for shoes and sundries you don’t know you’ll need until you do. Three sizes cover every kind of golf bag. They pack snugly around your clubs and fold down neatly when empty. The Tour-pro user list is long — DJ, JT, Rory, Brooks, and others — but those guys fly private. This bag is a luxury the rest of us can actually afford, and one that will likely outlast us. Pro tip: don’t forget to buy the arm bar as a safeguard against snapped drivers. The airlines will replace lost clubs, but they won’t reimburse for damage.

Club Glove Pro Traveler Golf Travel Bag

The revolutionary golf travel bag that changed the way the world’s best players travel on Tour will change the way you travel to your favorite golf destinations. This premium travel bag is functional, durable and provides maximum protection. One less thing to worry about for your next golf adventure. Maximum Durability & Quality Water-resistant 1000 Denier nylon fabric Club Glove® signature high impact wheelbase Rugged wheels for smooth and quiet transport Premium YKK® zippers and ITW® Nexus Buckles Pro Traveler Includes Stiff Arm for added club protection 2 external storage pockets Club Glove® patented Train Reaction System (TRS) compatibility Details Exterior Dimensions: 51”(h) x 19”(w) x 16”(d) 10.6 lbs

Payntr X 004 Golf Shoes

I have bone spurs on my heels that would make a rooster proud. Don’t get me started on my bunions. So you can imagine my delight in discovering these Payntrs, which come with something called a Blister-Free PMX Fit Heel. I don’t know what the acronym means, but I do know they guarantee the shoes with a blister-free warranty, and I haven’t had to send mine back. They’re water-resistant but still ventilated, flexible but supportive, that rare shoe you can walk in all day without having to triage your feet at night.

Sun Bum Sunscreen

Breaking news: sunscreen is supposed to protect you from the sun. But on a golf trip, you want it to do more. You want something that lasts, doesn’t feel greasy, doesn’t leave you looking like a mime, and doesn’t drip into your eyes on the back nine. Sun Bum checks all those boxes. It’s moisturizing, it rubs in cleanly, and you can get it in a TSA-friendly, 3-ounce tube, which is nice, as sunscreen only works if it doesn’t get confiscated at security.

Buc-ee’s Hill Country Beef Jerky

Like Tiger, I can’t play when my glutes aren’t firing, and I’m even worse when my stomach’s grumbling. So I always keep a snack in the bag. The problem is that many “energy bars” sold in pro shops are candy bars in health-food wrapping. Jerky, though — good jerky — is different. High-protein, easy to carry, slow to spoil and actually tasty. Buc-ee’s Hill Country Beef Jerky has become a go-to. It keeps me fueled, steady and ready to make at least one good swing before lunch. There are more than a dozen flavors, but the old-school “steakhouse” version suits me fine.

Sean Zak’s 3 favorite items of the year

Titleist T150 4-iron, $215

Mid-summer I was fitted into T100 Titleist irons, which comfortably replaced a set of 10-year-old Mizuno blades. The one thing I’ve never really been able to do? Lift and launch the longest iron in the bag. The 4-iron. But I got fitted into a T150 4-iron — a higher-launching step up from the bladey T100s — to just really help get that ball up into the air, and the results are delightful. I feel that club will be in the bag for a very long time. And the good thing for you? It’s at the end of the bag, so you can easily add it to your full set of other irons and feel good about it complementing your current set.

Titleist 2025 T150 Custom Irons

T150 Irons are crafted for added distance with unwavering accuracy. Forged into a player’s shape with progressive blade lengths, T150 offers a precise blend of speed, stability, and consistency—providing the confidence to hit and hold greens from anywhere.  Confidence-Inspiring Forged Design Forged into a player’s shape with a slightly larger head size for pure feel with extra stability. Elevated Ball Speed 1° stronger lofts (vs. T100) combine with an improved muscle channel through 7-iron and lower long-iron CG to help improve speed, launch, and carry. Superior Flight and Stability Split high-density tungsten produces optimal CG with remarkable stability for precise shotmaking. Consistent Speed & Spin  New VFT technology and progressive groove design provide consistent spin and speed across the face in variable conditions.

Reebok Men’s Club C Shoes, $100

As a golf writer, one of the most important elements of my job is trudging one yard inside the ropes, skirting around bunkers, walking through fescue and heavy rough, all in search of an angle to the action that people aren’t getting at home. All of which means, I often suit up with spikeless golf shoes at tournaments, and if I find a pair that are particularly comfy, I’m sticking with them for years at a time. These Reebok classic-styled golf shoes were on my feet all year long, from Augusta to Portrush and Bethpage. I probably played golf with them maybe 5% of the time, but used them on 90% of my days. At just $100, they’re extremely affordable, too.

All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy a linked product, GOLF.COM may earn a fee. Pricing may vary.

Reebok Club C

These men’s Reebok shoes transform court heritage into a course-ready design. The water-resistant leather upper is super-soft and premium, and a golf-specific spikeless outsole grips tight from the fairway to the green.

Jones Player Series Bag

I’ve probably shouted out this set of golf bag half a dozen times, but I don’t regret it. It’s far more affordable and nimble than any other bag I’ve come around. Sure, it lacks the stand that a lot of people look for, but it takes up next to no space in the trunk. It encourages minimalism while still having plenty of storage space. No, you don’t need to carry a dozen golf balls. No, you don’t need pockets for all kinds of outerwear. But if you are playing in a breezy Irish wind, you can pack it as tightly as you’d like and still save plenty of room for tees.

James Colgan’s 7 must-have items of 2025

1. Normatec Boots

I wrote about Normatec’s leg compression boots for the first time last year and was surprised to learn how many golf fans had never heard of the product. These space-age, LeBron-approved recovery products are my go-tos for after a long day on the course or a long workout at the gym. The pants are essentially big balloons, trained to inflate and deflate in specific patterns to promote blood flow and speed up recovery. The secret sauce is something called dynamic compression technology, which encourages circulation, flushes metabolic waste and mimics a natural muscle “pump.”

I’m recommending this product first because it was the product I most agonized over including in the packing process. At the time, it felt like a lot to surrender trunk space in the name of recovery. But since arriving out west, any initial headache has proven well worth it. The pants are a weekly inclusion in my routine, and though we’re well into the offseason now, they’re also a terrific way to stay fresh between rounds on 36-hole day or multiple-round weekends.

HyperIce Normatec 3

Normatec 3 is the next evolution of the iconic Normatec series, using dynamic air compression to advance your wellness, recover faster, improve your training, and maximize your performance.

$699 from Fairway Jockey

2. Rhone Commuter Pro Pants

If you’ve seen my face in a GOLF.com video in the last two years, you’ve probably seen a Rhone Commuter polo in action. And, if you’ve seen me in person, you’ve probably seen me rocking these Commuter Pro pants.

Most of Rhone’s athleisure gear lives at my preferred intersection of high-quality, understated and not cookie-cutter, but these pants are top of the heap. They’re heavy enough to wear out in the cold, flexible enough to wear in the heat, tasteful enough to wear out to a nice meal and athletic enough to wear out to the course. If you need an all-around pant, a king of versatility, look no further.

RHONE Commuter Pro Trouser

Crafted from an evolution of our best-selling fabric with a structured yet flexible feel, this trouser features an adjustable button waistband and permanent pressed pleats for a sharp, refined look.

$158 from Rhone

3. Stio Hometown Down Jacket

A decade ago, I made the worst great decision of my life and elected to move to Syracuse for four winters to attend school. For the uninitiated, Syracuse is one of the snow capitals of the world. The winters run from October through May and are a mix of interminably cold and perpetually gray.

I got into the golf industry in large part because I had freezer burn from my time in Cuse, and even as my career brought me to greener (and warmer) pastures, I found that I hadn’t quite kicked the chill of my younger years. I dreaded the winter months with a passion, and I hated dressing to play golf in the cold so much that I hardly played once the temperatures dipped below 50.

Earlier this year, with winter arriving, I was gifted the jacket that changed my worldview: The Stio Hometown Down Jacket. Stio says the Hometown Down is a “midweight jacket,” but I can attest that I’ve already successfully worn it in temperatures well below freezing. It doesn’t take much time to realize why it’s such a popular buy among those in cold-weather communities: It’s thick but not oversized and nimble enough to wear for a variety of activities. If you’re going to a sporting event in the cold or merely have plans of sticking out winter on the golf course until the snow arrives, I can say confidently that Stio is the best bang for your buck.

Stio Hometown Down Jacket

The Stio Hometown Jacket is a midweight option with heavyweight versatility. Filled with responsibly sourced down and recycled fabrics, it’s a winner across the board.

$349 from Stio

4. Momentous supplements

I’ll be honest: I’m not really a supplement guy. It took many years before I brought myself to the altar of protein powder, and many more to reach my recent flirtation with creatine.

Part of the reason for my tepidness was that I resented feeling like a gym bro. My brother (who is studying to become a doctor) often reminds me that eating widely in moderation is good enough for the vast majority of people. Adding powders and chunky water bottles seemed like a great way to lose what little dignity I still clung to at little ostensible gain.

But then I found Momentous. Their branding is subtle (sensing a theme here?), their recipes are minimalist, and their standards are top-of-the-line. I still don’t carry around the chunky water bottle or the string tank top, but their products keep me feeling strong and energized without feeling gross about it.

Momentous Plant Protein Powder

Momentous 100% Plant Protein is built for high performers who demand the best from their nutrition. With 20g of clean, plant-based protein per serving, using pea + rice proteins sourced exclusively from the U.S. & Canada, it provides a complete amino acid profile to fuel recovery and optimize performance.

$49 from Momentous Supplements

5. Arc’Teryx Proton Jacket

A funny thing happens as you get deeper into the golf world: You learn that some of the best golf clothing brands aren’t necessarily marketing to golf. Like Arc’Teryx, whose hiking and outdoor gear is some of the best all-weather golf gear on the market.

Now, I’m not sure I’d recommend intentionally walking into a driving rainstorm in the Proton hoody, nor am I sure that it’d be suitable as a one-layer solution for a 35-degree day — but if either thing happened while you were wearing it, I’d feel pretty good about you surviving in one piece. That’s the essence of the Proton jacket: Its value comes from its ability to work in every potential Scottish weather pattern … meaning some space saved in your carry-on (or trunk) in the packing process.

Arc’Teryx Proton Jacket

Made for climbers – including on the golf course – the Proton Hoody is the go-to breathable insulation layer for high-output missions. 80gsm Coreloft™ Compact insulation works with the air-permeable face fabric and liner to regulate temperature and vapour build-up. The Fortius Air 20 nylon shell is light and durable, articulated patterning removes restriction.

$420 from Arc’Teryx

6. Bose SoundLink Flex Portable Speaker

I change portable speakers less frequently than the United States changes Presidents, so when it finally came time to purchase a new one over the summer, I took the task seriously.

I wound up with the Bose SoundLink Flex (which is on sale for around $100 for the holidays) and goodness, I’m glad I did. The thing is basically indestructible (waterproof, dustproof), its battery lasts for 12 hours at a time, and the sound quality is good enough to fill a foursome on opposite sides of the fairway in the summer (thought you might not want to play at that volume).

Bose SoundLink Portable Speaker

Meet the updated SoundLink Flex Speaker. Surprisingly big, bold sound in a super-packable size — perfect for sharing tunes and good times anywhere on the planet. It’s built durable, too, so you can go where the beat takes you.

$119 from Bose

7. Blue Tees portable speaker

I don’t own this speaker, nor did I pack it with me on my journey, but it deserves inclusion on this list for a simple reason: I witnessed a friend’s willingness to drive three hours through rural Michigan to pick up this speaker from the course where he’d accidentally left it. If that’s not a ringing endorsement of a product, I don’t know what is.

Blue Tees Player+ GPS Golf Speaker

In a world where precision is paramount and accuracy is everything, only the best can rise to the top. Welcome to the future of golf. Meet Player+, a revolutionary GPS Touch Screen Golf Speaker powered by the Blue Tees Game App. A powerful speaker unlike anything you’ve seen before, get access to over 40,000 courses at your fingertips with an out-of-this-world sound experience. Touch Screen Display Radical Deep Bass Front/Center/Back Links Party Pairing Driving Distance Dual Pair With Any Player+ Visual + Audible Distances Magnetic Strip Power Bank Dynamic Hazards 100-Foot Range Score Keeping 10+ Hours Battery Premium Dynamic Audio IPX7 Waterproof

The Compression Ball

Designed to help eliminate inconsistency, the Compression Ball trains you to synchronize your arms and body for more accurate strikes and better performance.

The Compression Ball The New Golf Swing Ball Training Aid to Build a Consistent, Connected Motion and Improve Ball Striking Stop the guesswork and start building a powerful, repeatable golf swing. Introducing The Compression Ball, the premier golf impact ball training aid designed to master the most crucial element of a great swing: connection. If you’re tired of inconsistency, this golf swing trainer is your key to synchronizing your arms and body for more accurate strikes and better performance. This impact ball golf trainer is more than just a piece of foam; it’s a comprehensive system for developing muscle memory. Whether you’re a beginner struggling with a “flying elbow” or an experienced player refining your sequence, this is one of the top golf training aids for immediate, tangible feedback. Why The Compression Ball is a Must-Have Piece of Golf Training Equipment: MASTER YOUR CONNECTION: As a leading golf impact ball, its primary function is to keep your arms and body working as one. Place the soft foam ball between your forearms to eliminate separation in your backswing and downswing, leading to dramatically improved ball striking. INNOVATIVE LANYARD SYSTEM: What truly sets this impact ball training aid apart is its adjustable, removable lanyard. When you lose connection during a drill, the ball doesn’t fall to the ground. No more chasing your aid—just uninterrupted, efficient practice. PREMIUM ADAPTIVE FOAM: Made from ultra-soft, durable memory foam that comfortably molds between your arms. We selected the best foam for this training aid—it’s soft enough to prevent tension but firm enough to provide clear feedback on your arm structure. VERSATILE SWING TRAINER: This is the perfect swing trainer golf aid for a wide range of practice. Use it for chipping, pitching, half-swings, and full-swing practice. It’s lightweight and perfect for the range, home, or as part of your pre-round warm-up.

Simple & Effective Golf Impact Ball Drills: Getting started with your new golf swing ball training aid is easy: Placement: Place The Compression Ball between your forearms, just below the elbows. Apply light pressure to hold it in place. Chipping Drill: Start with small chip shots. Focus on keeping the ball between your arms from start to finish, rotating your chest to control the swing. This will eliminate wristy, inconsistent chips. Half-Swing Drill: Progress to 9-o’clock to 3-o’clock swings. If the ball drops, you know you’ve lost connection. This drill is key for improving your swing path and impact position. Full-Swing Integration: Once comfortable, take smooth full swings. The goal isn’t to hit at 100% power, but to maintain connection throughout the entire motion. Connection is the secret that separates good golfers from great ones. Stop searching for complex solutions and get back to the fundamentals. With The Compression Ball, you have the simple, effective golf swing training aid you need to build a swing you can trust. Order the Compression Ball and feel the difference a connected swing makes!

The GOLF holiday gift guide: 20 items you'll love to give (and get!) this year

Callaway Opus SP Custom Wedge

Features on this wedge include Callaway’s “Spin Pocket,” which redistributes weight higher, raising the CG, to promote a lower, more penetrating launch. The result is more spin and enhanced control, especially when you need to flight shots or attack tight pins.

Callaway Opus SP Custom Wedge

SPIN POCKET™ CONSTRUCTION A re-engineered 2-piece construction head design strategically reshapes mass to optimize CG locations. The Spin Pocket redistributes weight higher, raising the CG, and promoting a lower, more penetrating launch. The result is more spin and enhanced control, especially when you need to flight shots or attack tight pins. NEW SPIN GEN 2.0 FACE™ The most advanced face in OPUS history. A new 17° groove angle with tighter pitch spacing delivers more groove edge contact for more consistent spin across a variety of lies. Combined with a deeper cross-hatch laser pattern across the face, Spin Gen 2.0 produces enhanced friction for more bite and stopping power on all types of approach shots. SHAPE 6 – TOUR-VALIDATED PROFILE Trusted by Tour players for its clean, confident look at address, Shape 6 offers precise leading edge shaping and refined sole geometry. Shape 6 is the 6th and final iteration in the Opus prototype shaping phase, validated by Tour players and major champions. OPUS SP introduces progressive shaping in gap wedges to seamlessly blend with modern iron sets—creating a more cohesive setup from top to bottom. X GRIND – VERSATILITY WITH BOUNCE Back by popular demand, the X Grind returns in OPUS SP. Designed for shotmakers who want added bounce for forgiveness, without giving up versatility, the X Grind is ideal for players who like to open the face around the greens or play in firmer turf conditions. It’s the perfect blend of playability and performance in a wide range of shots and conditions.

Fujikura 2025 MCI Iron Shaft

This Fujikura shaft is equipped with the latest technology to provide high spin performance and a smooth swing.

Fujikura 2025 MCI Iron Shaft

After 13 years since its launch in 2012, the new MCI is equipped with the latest technology, to provide high spin performance and a smooth swing. Carbon shafts have a center of gravity at hand compared to steel shafts, which affects the swing weight of the club. If you wrap a lot of fibers around the tip to improve it, it will increase the rigidity and damage the feel. The development of the MCT has made it possible to achieve both the adjustment of the center of gravity of the shaft and the high degree of controllability through the smooth movement, which is a feature of carbon shafts.

Polos

Peter Millar

I’m not much of a fashion guy, but if there’s one thing I know, it’s that a classic stripe or solid color polo is never going out of style. But the true reason I always look for the Peter Millar section is because of the nice roomy fit and the soft and smooth material. It also doesn’t hurt that Peter Millar polos allow me to still think I’m a medium as opposed to large in everything else. —Jack Hirsh

Peter Millar Summer Comfort polos

Our performance jersey and mesh fabrics are the gold standard in softness, style and stretch comfort.

$98-118 from Peter Millar

Johnnie-O

Johnnie-O is one of those brands I’ve started to see several of my golf pals gravitate toward — and now I know why. After picking up a couple of their polos this summer, they’ve become my go-to golf shirts: stylish, lightweight and — this is a big one for me — form-holding! Too many polos, especially polo collars, get misshapen after a few washes. But the Johnnie-Os in my closet — I have one Performance Jersey model and another from the Featherweight line — have weathered the test not only of sweaty days on the course but also the beatdowns doled out by washer-and-dryer cycles. I also dig the surfer-dude logo. Something about it puts me at ease. —Alan Bastable

Johnnie-O Featherweight Performance

Our Featherweight collection is 30% lighter than our standard jersey and wicks away sweat, regulates heat and has built-in UPF 50.

$110 from Johnnie-O

Radmor

I keep reaching for Radmor’s polos — particularly from their Hudson or Union lines. I’m addicted to cotton at this point (fully out on the feel of polyester) and they’re as comfortable any shirt I’ve ever worn. They also have a distinctive style, elegant but approachable, that suits golf in the Pacific Northwest. Bonus points for their location, just a short drive from my house in Seattle. —Dylan Dethier

Nike

It’s probably the Oregon Duck in me, but the Nike Dri-Fit Tour Polo has become my go-to this summer. It’s lightweight, moisture-wicking and incredibly comfortable. They held up well in the Northeast humidity and served me well in the Georgia heat. You can go with the classic colors or branch out into pastels. What’s not to love? —Josh Schrock

Nike Men’s Dri-FIT Golf Polo

Breathable, four-way stretch fabric helps every swing feel free and easy. It also wicks away sweat for comfort that lasts all 18 holes.

$80 from Nike

Gap

I’m a going-with-what-always-works guy with polos, and Gap polos always do the job for me. Just solid, you know. Always a nice selection of colors. Always fit well. Always play well in various conditions. And you can find ’em in stores in almost every city, along with online — and they’re affordable. I think that checks every box! —Nick Piastowski

Gap Pique Polo Shirt

This soft, stretch pique knit polo is made with moisture-wicking properties.

$34.95 from Gap

Shoes

Sun Day Red Osprey

As a connoisseur of spikeless shoes, I’ve been very intrigued by Tiger Woods’ Sun Day Red’s first foray into the category. These are super comfortable, super stable spikeless shoes that truly are worth wearing off the course, which are tough to find. —Jack Hirsh

Sun Day Red Osprey

A versatile golf shoe that seamlessly transitions from office to course, combining performance materials with minimalist design for the modern golfer’s lifestyle.

Adidas Stan Smith

For a sneaker-style golf shoe, I keep returning to Adidas’ Stan Smith spikeless shoe. —Dylan Dethier

Adidas Stan Smith Spikeless Golf Shoes

A footwear icon updated for the course, these adidas Stan Smith Spikeless Golf Shoes combine heritage tennis court style with course-ready details for social rounds and beyond.

PAYNTR X 001 F

With pretty much anything I wear, I pay more attention to function than fashion. I don’t need my golf shoes to be flashy. They’re for walking, not gawking.

The Payntr X 001s I picked up earlier this year have been a dream shoe for me in large part because I barely notice them. I have bony heels and am susceptible to blisters. No problems there. The shoes are soft, comfy and lightweight. They also perform well, with a wide, stable feel and good waterproofing for the damp morning rounds I often play. And then there’s this: the last couple times I’ve hit my local muni, the younger, more fashion-forward guys I’ve been paired with have looked down at my feet and said, “Hey, are those Payntrs?” Seems they have something of a cool factor, too. —Josh Sens

Payntr Golf All Day SC

My favorite golf shoes out there, Payntr has a ton of options that are both country club sleek and muni casual (my words), but all that means for you is they have enough styles so you can dress like a tour pro or wear models that look more like a casual sneaker. Both are comfortable and look sharp. Give Payntr a chance and you won’t go back. —Josh Berhow

All Day SC

CLARINO microfiber upper delivers lightweight support and flexibility. WATERPROOF+ & breathable membrane fused to the lining and sealed with a waterproof bottom gasket. ARIAPRENE® tongue offers supreme foot lockdown to provide maximum stability and lightweight, breathable support. TPU Outsole, with Fast Twist insert system, delivers traction in three dimensions for the shoe’s life. ORTHOLITE Footbed, designed to compress less than 5%, ensures that cushioning, fit, and comfort never change. PMX Nitro+ Midsole is engineered to provide maximum energy return, giving you the ultimate underfoot support. PMX SPEED PLT propulsion plate allows golfers to harness ground reaction forces more effectively.

Duca del Cosma Licata

Last year, I tested a pair of Duca Del Cosma shoes that I absolutely loved. While planning for this year’s summer trip, I wanted a shoe that looked elevated but was still comfortable, and that was neutral enough to go with just about anything. Duca delivered yet again, with the Licata — a waterproof, stylish yet understated shoe that I wore absolutely everywhere with nary a blister or soreness of any kind. My favorite part? The contrast laces keep the shoes looking clean. A sweet bonus when you’re on the road. —Jessica Marksbury

Pants

Holderness & Bourne McDaniel

My husband is a club pro, so once nice perk is that he gets to see a lot of the latest and greatest gear come in and out of the golf shop. He also wears golf pants to work every day, so he’s quite a connoisseur on this topic. Last year, he became a big fan of Holderness & Bourne’s Parker Pant and ordered a pair in every color. This year, H&B’s newest offering is the McDaniel pant, which features the same super-flattering fit and a stylish taper with plenty of stretch and room in the thighs. The look is tailored and fresh, with the only difference being a more matte fabric finish than the Parker, for a more natural, versatile look. As an added bonus, there’s also no-slip lining in the waistband to help keep your polo tucked in. —Jessica Marksbury

Holderness & Bourne The McDaniel Pant

Keep a sharp look on the course, at the office, and everywhere else with The McDaniel. Our five-pocket performance pants resist wrinkles and water, and dry in a flash.

$165 from Holderness & Bourne

Rhone Commuter Pro Trouser

No disrespect to any of the terrific options above and below (brands I wear regularly!), but I’ve got an ace in the hole here. Rhone has been a favorite athleisure brand of mine for some time now (their workout gear is top-notch), but their new Commuter Pro pants have earned a special spot in my heart. Something I haven’t loved about the shift toward synthetic pants is the material weight. I understand the allure of light, breathable pants, but I generally prefer something with a bit more oomph. The material for the Commuter Pro is thicker and more substantial than the typical Commuter pants, and the three separate styles (slim fit, athletic fit and five-pocket) provide lots of optionality for dressing up or down in non-golf settings. —James Colgan

RHONE Commuter Pro Trouser

Crafted from an evolution of our best-selling fabric with a structured yet flexible feel, this trouser features an adjustable button waistband and permanent pressed pleats for a sharp, refined look.

$158 from Rhone

Lululemon ABC Slim-Fit Trouser Warpstreme

All my previous golf pants have now been replaced by Lululemon’s ABC Slim-Fit Trouser Warpstreme. For those who need bigger waist sizes, this fit is wonderfully slimming, but not tight anywhere on the legs. The Warpstreme fabric is stretchy and breathable, perfect for the summer, but it’s never felt too cold trying to play with these in the winter months. You’ll almost always find a deal on Lulu’s website. These run true to size. —Connor Federico

ABC Slim-Fit Trouser 32L Warpstreme

Pro-approved by Min Woo Lee, from work day to weekend, these trousers never look out of place.

$138 from lululemon

Flint and Tender 365 5-Pocket

The 365 5-Pocket Pant from Flint and Tender, my go-to pants, can be worn on the golf course. And they can be worn off the golf course. And they can be worn at work. And they can be worn away from work. I also like the color options and the fit. But their flexibility sets them apart. —Nick Piastowski

Flint and Tinder 365 5-Pocket Pant

An all-time best seller, the 365 5-Pocket Pant is cut like a jean and stretches like a performance pant.

$108 from Huckberry

DU/ER NuStretch High Rise Trouser

DU/ER first got on my radar when a colleague mentioned how much he liked their men’s styles. So when I passed the DU/ER booth at this year’s PGA Show, I was intrigued! After taking home a sample from the ladies’ line, I now see what all the fuss is about. High-rise, flattering fit? Check. Trendy wide leg? Check. Stretchy, yet elegant? Check. Suitable for both work and play? Check, check, check! —Jessica Marksbury

DU/ER NuStretch High Rise Trouser

A high rise wide-leg trouser that combines a slim fit through the hip with extra thigh room that extends to a wider leg for a full-length style. Ideal for both work and travel.

$129 from DU/ER

Lululemon ABC Slim-Fit Trouser

I was reluctant to spend the money on Lululemon pants for years, but then I finally did and haven’t looked back. At first I wore them just for work or casually, but I recently started wearing them on the golf course too. Comfortable. Stretchy. And they look professional enough to wear to the nicest clubs. A must-buy. —Josh Berhow

Lululemon ABC Slim-Fit Trouser 30L Stretch Cotton VersaTwill

These slim-fit trousers deliver all-day comfort with an elevated look.

$138 from lululemon

Under Armour UA Drive

Under Armour has severely underrated pants. Because I’ve got little legs (insert the meme) I have to get my pants tailored so I don’t step on them and the employees at the suit shop that I visit thought they were dress pants. The second time I walked in there, two of them were wearing Under Armour golf pants at work. Plus, they are a great combination of stretchy and breathable. They’re the only pants I’ll wear when working Tour events. —Jake Morrow

Under Armour UA Drive

These golf pants are all about one thing: letting you move the way you need to on the course. They’re built with a high-performance, mobile fabric, and a streamlined fit to reduce drag on every swing.

$85 from Under Armour

Bags

Ping 2023 Hoofer Lite Stand Bag

Most people who use Ping golf bags are so loyal it’s almost like they are a part of a cult. That’s how popular these bags are. The Hoofer Lite has long been one of the favorites, with its sleek design, plethora of pockets, light weight and, the best part, more than a dozen designs to choose from. —Josh Berhow

Ping Moonlite Carry Bag

I’ll just add that I’m in the cult. If you like double straps but don’t care all that much about a stand, this bad boy takes up zero space, it’s durable, it’s comfortable and it’s perfect. —Dylan Dethier

Sun Mountain Matchplay Swift Sunday

I love golf bags designed with walkers in mind, so when I saw Sun Mountain was coming out with one with a 5.5-inch top, I immediately got one. This bag has been my perfect travel golf bag with the small size and super sturdy stand legs. I also love the simple and understated aesthetics. —Jack Hirsh

Jones Sports Co. Rover Stand

This bag has been my go-to for a while now thanks to it’s lightweight and well-constructed design and unique storage options. Rarely do I actually need a full-length apparel pocket, so this bag doesn’t have one and instead has a perfectly placed phone holder pocket. I also love the roomy three-way top and strap system. —Jack Hirsh

Sunday Golf Ryder S-Class

I had the chance to test this bag for our weekly “I Tried It” series earlier this year. I loved it right away, starting with the color. This bag comes in six different color options, and I love the matte finish and clean overall look. The dusty pink is really nice — not too bright and flashy, but still eye-catching. There’s also eight pockets, providing ample storage options, including a “Frosty Pocket,” which can hold — and keep cold! — up to four beverages. The bag has a five-way top, which made slipping clubs in and out a breeze, and kept my putter in its place too. A final feature worth a mention: the Velcro glove patch. As someone who is constantly returning to the previous green to retrieve my glove because it’s fallen out of my pocket, I really love utilizing this feature. Now my glove is always visible and accounted for! —Jessica Marksbury

Jones Sports Co. Players Series

Not the first to recommend a Jones bag, but this is a different one. I fell in love with the Players bag in 2020, when we all probably played a good bit of solo golf. This bag doesn’t have a stand — but I would reckon you really don’t need one. It’s light as ever, petite as anything, and still offers plenty of space for anything you’d want. I prefer a minimalist approach, and I’m not sure you’ll find a more minimalist bag that still gives you everything you need. —Sean Zak

Players Series – Sonoma

Simplify and golf. The Players Series bag embodies the Jones motto by naturally appealing to those who prefer to experience the course on foot. With minimal and understated aesthetics, it equips you with everything you need in a golf bag. Three pockets provide ample storage for enough necessities to keep you covered for a round or two. The enhanced mesh sleeve will now accommodate larger water bottles to keep you hydrated, and the re-enforced inner liner will withstand the abuse from the walking golfer. Step up your style by simplifying your bag with Jones Players Series. The new R-series features a recycled, ripstop material, woven from 100% PET single-use plastic bottles. The most innovative, durable, and water-resistant fabric to date, the R-series supports Jones’ commitment towards a more sustainable future. Tested and proven in the ever-changing climate of the Pacific Northwest.

Seamus Golf headcover

The last time I played I lost my trusty 3-wood headcover, but I was hardly upset. It was worn and due to be replaced anyway, and now I have an excuse to buy a new one at Seamus Golf, one of my favorite golf-gear sites. Their headcovers are cool and unique and there’s a ton to pick from. Go shop there yourself and you won’t be disappointed. —Josh Berhow

Seamus Golf headcovers

Seamus Golf headcovers are made of high quality materials, blending tradition and innovation in every stitch.

$75-145 from Golf Galaxy

Bushnell A1-Slope

I’ve tried so many different rangefinders over the past year, but this tiny one from Bushnell has been my favorite. The A-1 Slope is no frills, fits very nicely in one hand without being unwieldy and offers slope correction if you want it. You don’t need anything else. —Jack Hirsh

Bushnell A1-Slope Rangefinder

the A1-Slope is the smallest Bushnell Golf laser rangefinder ever and features our patented, Tour-trusted Slope Technology.

$299.99 from Bushnell

Del Campo socks

These socks are simply the best. Brian Baumgartner quote: “I got a pair at the 8AM Invitational and now they’re the only socks I’ll golf in.” —Jake Morrow

Del Campo Performance Golf Socks

High enough to block debris, low enough to stay sleek. No slipping, no distractions. You focus on your swing, we’ll handle your feet.

$49.99 (3-pack) from Amazon

Cobalt Q-6SM Rangefinder

I am a simple man with simple needs which means toggling accidentally from “yards” to “meters” or getting stuck in a state of uncertainty about whether or not slope is on frustrates me when all I really want to know is how far I have to wherever I’m pointing my miraculous distance measuring device. Anyway, I’d never heard of Cobalt but stumbled into one of their rangefinders and it seems like they’ve heard my pleas. Durable. Magnetic! Simple. Winner. —Dylan Dethier

Cobalt Q-6SM Rangefinder

The New Q-6SM is now equipped with a high-strength N48-rated neodymium magnet, allowing for secure, hands-free attachment to your cart.

Grooveit Mini G

The Grooveit Mini G Brush is my favorite golf item I’ve put in the bag in years. You see, this brush isn’t your average groove cleaner. It’s small enough so as not be a hassle hanging from your bag, but it’s large enough to get all the grass and grime out of your grooves on the course. Perhaps the best feature of all, though, is the strong magnet that secures the brush to the carabiner. With this magnet holding it in place, you can snatch the brush from your bag and use it without fussing with a wire or chain. And thanks to the strength of the magnet, it easily snaps back into place when you’re putting it back; there’s no need to worry about losing it after use. —Zephyr Melton

Grooveit Mini G Brush

A smaller version of the brush you love with the same great magnetic securing system and stiff nylon bristles, just without water….and mini!

GOLF staff top picks: Our 6 favorite golf bags of the year

Jessica Marksbury — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 13:41:48 +0000

There’s nothing quite like getting a new golf bag. Starting fresh offers you a chance to clear out the old, streamlining your necessary accessories like tees, balls, gloves and more into newly organized compartments.

Getting a new bag also gives you an opportunity to enjoy some of the latest design advances. For walkers, that may mean an ultra-light, minimalist design. For riders, it could mean the inclusion of a cooler pocket or more interior pocket space.

Like all gear, your bag is a reflection of your personality, and can speak volumes about what you value. So if you’re in the market for a new bag this holiday shopping season — or need a winning gift idea for a loved one — check out these much-loved, tried-and-true golf bags, courtesy of GOLF’s staffers.

Luxe golf gifts: 15 high-end ideas for the golfer who has everything

Jessica Marksbury — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 16:09:07 +0000

As the holiday shopping season kicks off in earnest, chances are you have a golfer or two on your gift list. There’s only one problem: They already have everything they need. What’s a determined gift-giver to do?

One solution: go luxe! The golf world is full of products designed to delight and spark joy — even if you already have one of whatever is available. One example: most golfers own a sweater or two. But an elevated cashmere version from Holderness & Bourne or Asher is destined to become a fast favorite. Golfers who enjoy walking instead of riding may already have a push-cart — but do they have an electric, remote-controlled iteration like Stewart Golf’s Q Follow?

Limited-edition items (like the Bettinardi putter below) are also great picks, by virtue of their unique designs. And if you’re seeking a truly one-of-a-kind item, you can even create a personalized sculpture from your golf swing — a surefire conversation-starter when displayed on an office desk.

Here’s hoping the list below inspires you to get creative with your gift-giving this year. Ready to dive in? Check out our collection of fun, high-end holiday gift ideas for golfers below.

XXIO Prime Royal Edition Driver

Is there anything more luxe than a gold driver? Exotic materials and ultralightweight construction make this club easy to swing, resulting in faster speed, enhanced distance, and straighter ball flight.

XXIO Prime Royal Edition Driver

State-of-the-art meets work of art with the all-new XXIO Prime Royal Edition. The stunning design and unmatched clubhead technologies make it the gold standard of luxury performance. Exotic materials and extremely ultralightweight construction make it our easiest to swing. Enjoy faster speed, enhanced distance, and straighter ball flight when you play XXIO Prime Royal Edition. REBOUND FRAME Rebound Frame is an alternating pattern of stiff and flexible zones within every XXIO Prime club that focuses more of your impact energy into the golf ball. It increases ball speed and distance on every strike. On the Woods, four alternating layers of stiff and flexible zones plus a new Super-TIX® 51AF Titanium Flat Cup Face expand the High COR area of each club face, maximizing power, ball speed, and distance. On the Irons, a soft/rigid structure combines a flex zone in the lower body with a rigid zone in the rear of the body for enhanced energy transfer in the lower half of the face. SUPER-TIX® 51AF TITANIUM FACE Each Driver and Iron face is made of Super-TIX® 51AF Titanium, an incredibly strong yet lightweight alloy for thinner faces that increase face flex and ball speed on all your shots. LIGHTWEIGHT CLUBHEAD WITH HIGH MOI New XXIO Prime Drivers, Fairway Woods, and Hybrids boast both a lighter clubhead and increased MOI—a remarkable achievement. A lighter club adds ease and comfort to your swing, while a higher MOI adds extreme forgiveness. The High-MOI clubhead also enlarges the High COR area to produce straighter, more powerful distance, even on off-center shots. ACTIVWING ActivWing makes you more consistent by stabilizing XXIO Prime Woods for better alignment at impact. By manipulating airflow with its airfoil shape—similar to those utilized by aircraft—ActivWing reduces clubhead bounce in the first half of your downswing. Just before impact, the airfoil generates lift, raising your clubhead and tightening your swing pattern for more sweet spot strikes. WEIGHT PLUS Our proprietary Weight Plus Technology places extra weight at the butt end of the shaft to stabilize the club path for faster, more consistent swings. Concentrating more weight toward the grip reduces the amount of force required to lift the clubhead and guide it to an ideal top-of-swing position. The weight then helps create a more powerful downswing and a squarer face at impact. SP-1200K SHAFT New, premium quality SP-1200K graphite shafts on all Drivers, Fairway Woods, Hybrids, and Irons are constructed with high performance carbon fiber and advanced resin matrix. This formula results in extremely thin and lightweight graphite shafts with a cutting-edge combination of strength and flexibility DRAW BIAS BULGE DESIGN This face curvature on XXIO Prime Woods is open near the toe and slightly closed at the heel, utilizing the gear effect to produce a desirable right-to-left shot shape. Whether you strike the ball high, low, off the toe or heel, the face imparts spin for straighter shots that carry farther.

GOLF staff top picks: Our 7 favorite golf pants of the year

Jessica Marksbury — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 18:53:41 +0000

Whereas golf apparel was once a uniform of sorts, easily distinguishable from a person’s every-day wardrobe, the advent of athleisure and performance fabrics have helped blur the once-solid line between athletic apparel and business casual.

Stretchy, moisture-wicking pants with UPF fabrics now look professional enough to wear to the office and a sit-down dinner, with a round of 18 in between. This year, when I polled my colleagues to find out which pants were topping their list of favorites this year, the ability to wear one pair for all things was a recurring theme. The desire to look tailored and put-together on and off the course is one thing, but when you can do that comfortably? That’s a home run.

The seven pairs of pants highlighted below offer all that and more — casual elegance in easy to wear and comfortable silhouettes. Browse through our favorites, and if you happen to feel inspired to add to your apparel arsenal, click the links to shop now.

GOLF staff top picks: Our 9 favorite golf shoes of the year

Jessica Marksbury — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 21:33:14 +0000

Like most golf equipment and apparel, golf shoes are highly personal. Some players need a lot of structure and support, others prefer a lifestyle shoe that can transition seamlessly on and off the course. Some players like soft spikes, others prefer spikeless. Some like understated, muted tones, while others like their shoes to be a bright focal point of their ensemble. The list goes on!

But there’s one thing that we can all agree on, and that’s that golf shoes are a necessary piece of equipment, and finding the right pair can enhance your game — and life!

So if you’re in the market for a new pair of shoes — or are simply looking for a well-reviewed gift to give this holiday season — below, you’ll find the GOLF staff’s top picks for our favorite shoes of the year.
