Choice of clubs, balls and apparel gifts
Time is running short to grab those last-minute Christmas gifts for yourself or another golfer. Check out these apparel and equipment gift ideas before it’s too late.
RADMOR Golf
For maximum protection and warmth, layer the Radmerino BobRad Cashmere Blend Hoodie ($225) with the Anderson Hybrid Performance Vest Multi Camo ($175). This pairing will keep you plenty toasty on the course, and RADMOR’s extended range of motion stitching ensures you’ll continue swinging freely.
For slightly warmer but wet weather, pair the weather-resistant Moscrip Jacket ($225) with a Higgins Hoodie ($125) made from a proprietary blend of BCI Organic Cotton and Elastane. This combo will do you right amid temps in the mid to low 40s.
TRUE linkswear
TRUE’s go-to, all-weather offering is the Original 1.2 ($170), which delivers a distinctive minimalist fit, wide toe box and zero-drop experience. Naturally enhancing comfort and engineered for walking, the 1.2s were designed for 36-hole-days in four-season climates.
TRUE just released its all-new All Day Pants line, featuring the All Day Chino and All Day Five-Pocket editions, both retailing for $125. They are water-resistant, warm but breathable and boast four-way stretch mobility.
Accessorize
Both RADMOR and TRUE are big on cold-weather apparel accessories. After all, pants, hoodies, jackets and vests are just half the battle (well, maybe a bit more than half). Topping the list of accessory gift ideas are RADMOR’s all-cotton RADSOCKs ($36), which are mindfully made from a combo of cellulose, recycled nylon and elastane.
TRUE’s Wool Stitched Dead Golfer Beanie ($40) keeps that all-important head warm as you play. And for golfers on a budget, or those who just want to source some killer deals, don’t forget to check out TRUE’s new Second Chance Footwear.
OnCore Golf 2022 ELIXR + VERO X2
Thosse shopping for gift ideas for golfers with high swing speeds should also check out the brand-new VERO X2, dropping this fall. This four-piece Tour-level offering is a follow-up to the wildly popular VERO X1, which topped several big names in launch monitor and on-course testing.
MSRP: $29.99 per dozen (ELIXR), $50 (VERO X2), Website: www.oncoregolf.com
Cleveland CBX Zipcore
The CBX Zipcore is a cavity-back wedge that offers many of the same benefits of a player-improvement iron. Its decidedly larger profile delivers a high level of comfort as golfers set up for full, pitch and chip shots. The club’s ultra-wide sole helps the clubhead slide through the grass and reduces both chunks and skulls, according to Cleveland.
MSRP: $149.99 – $159.99, Website: www.clevelandgolf.com
Sun Mountain Pushcarts
Sun Mountain’s PX3 and PX4 pushcarts have made a big splash with members of #pushcartmafia. Offering improvements on the company’s past Pathfinder models, PX3 and PX4 feature advancements like a new handle and accessory tray while retaining the main benefits of smaller folded size and easy opening.
Both models include a continuous handle for pushing with one hand, an accessory console, a mobile phone holder with a slot for a charging plug, dual umbrella holders, and a mesh basket and velour-lined pouch for additional storage.
MSRP: PX3 $249, PX4 $259, Website: www.sunmountain.com.
