00:00Buying for golfers is an absolute nightmare
00:02And I think most of us are fed up of getting gifted novelty pen sets or mugs during the holiday season
00:07So I've put this handy list together of golf gifts that are actually good all of which can be found in the links in the description
00:14Below so I'm going to talk about why some of the best gadgets some wardrobe staples or some golf training aids are your best route
00:20this gifting season
00:30Now I'm going to start us off with a golf product that most golfers don't know they need but I'm sure they will love I am
00:36The same I am one of them. It is a golf speaker. I've got two examples in front of me here
00:40We've got the Bushnell wingman view in the Bushnell wingman mini and what both of these guys are
00:46Firstly brilliant Bluetooth speakers. That's quite a versatile gift to give somebody for on and off the course
00:52Why are they golf speakers?
00:54Well, they've got built-in GPS with them as well and they'll read out the yardages for you
00:59the wingman view can read them out and has this handy screen built in which gives yardages the front middle back of the green as
01:06Well as hazards the wingman mini which has got a little clip on if you want to clip it to your bag
01:10Reads the yardages out when linked with the Bushnell app when you press this B button on the back of here
01:16they've both got these magnets on the back which allow them to attach to golf buggies golf carts or trolleys and
01:22I have had so much fun using these and I think whoever you're gifting for this season will love them too
01:28Especially they love their music and playing out on the golf course
01:31These are brilliant brilliant devices something a bit unique something a bit special and something I think will go down really really well this holiday season
01:38Okay, next up. This idea is a bit more of a stocking filler idea
01:42But I think a great golf book goes a long way as a gift now
01:46Let's avoid the cheesy ones the cringe ones and novelty ones. Let's cover some it's really interesting for people
01:51Hey, I've got two examples here golf is not a game of perfect by dr
01:54Barbara Teller or a psychology book for the golfer in your life that might need a bit of help there
01:58Or 50 years of golfing wisdom by John Jacobs more of a more of a book about the swing itself
02:05We all know a golfer who'd fall into either these categories one book
02:08I'm hoping for from Santa this year is Phil by Alan Shipnuck
02:12Which is the unauthorized biography of Phil Mickelson of her that's which are quite scandalous
02:16I look forward to getting stuck into that over this holiday season and finally a shameless plug for the best golf magazine in the world
02:23Golf monthly a subscription to this is the gift that keeps on giving a magazine a month for a whole year for about 40 quid
02:30I think it might even be less links down in the description, but some reading pleasure this Christmas goes a long way
02:36Okay, let's look at laser rangefinders as a great gift for any golfer
02:41I think if they don't have one already
02:42It's a real nice treat to get one any sort of golf tech is but I think rangefinders in particular
02:48I'll give you a couple of examples. This is the golf buddy laser light to retails
02:52You know just below 200 pounds $200. You might get a bit cheaper somewhere, and it's really
02:58premium
02:59Rangefinder it's small. It's compact comes with a nice case
03:02And isn't you know one of the most expensive ones out there if you do want to go right to the top of the market
03:07I'd recommend something like the Bushnell
03:09V6 shift which is you know the the latest laser rangefinder if you want to give that this gifting season
03:14But I think just any nice bit of tech they don't have one already
03:18They'll have it for ages. They'll find it really useful on the golf course, and they'll be thanking you for it
03:23Right new location new haircut new gift, and what is better than the gift of better golf right?
03:28I think a training aid is a great thing to gift your loved one this holiday season and what I've got here is the putt
03:33out devil balls a devilishly
03:36Difficult putting training aid that I mentioned in my Amazon video which you can go and watch on our channel as well
03:41I'll brief talk about what these are though
03:42They're putting training aid and this flat edge basically exaggerates. How open or closed the putter face might be at
03:50Impact it's really visual and really easy to understand where you're going right or wrong with your putter
03:56And I think on Christmas morning
03:58It's quite a fun little gift that everyone can have a little play with well or not so well doesn't really matter
04:03And then when Christmas is over whoever's been gifted these go work on their putting they're around 20 pounds and $20
04:09So a nice little stocking filler or a brilliant gift for someone in your life who plays golf
04:12I love them. They'll love them, and they might play better golf
04:16Next up is to get another sort of stocking filler and a wardrobe stapled
04:19I think golfers don't want to buy for themselves sometimes, so it's nice to receive as a gift
04:23That's a golf glove all sorts of sort of variants and prices available here a few examples
04:29I've got with the clover pure tour here. That's my favorite just fits my hand really well
04:32It's a really premium glove, but joy have a huge range as well
04:36Whatever price this is sort of a mid price one the contour
04:39FLX and then actually a great gift
04:41I think this season is the g4 glove a little bit more premium, but you can get some really cool colors
04:46I think it's 25 colors for men and 12 for women
04:49Ranging from you know bright green to bright blue to camo to this gray one
04:53I've got here
04:54So that's a bit more of a fun thing especially as a gift to go for a glove
04:57But as I said golfers hate buying these things and getting them as a gift is really nice
05:01You know they're gonna use them, and you know they'll really appreciate it
05:04Okay, it's chat about perhaps a more expensive gift
05:06But something I think every golf is gonna love if they don't have one already and that is a GPS watch the example
05:10I've got here is the Bushnell ion elite
05:13GPS which sort of sits
05:15I'm gonna say pretty much middle of the market here price wise just just shy about 200 pounds in the UK
05:20As you can see it's a really premium device
05:23It can be worn when they're playing off and when they're not so it's a sort of gift that can be worn all the time
05:28Which is great and what this will give to whoever you're giving this to if they don't have one already
05:32It's all that information. They need on the golf course distances to hazards the front back and middle of the green
05:37But I think if you're looking for a really premium gift that golf in your life
05:40This year that they're going to love I'm gonna use all the time a GPS watch is a real winner
05:44Right then back to the wardrobe and something I think again golfers don't love buying for themselves really appreciate as a gift
05:50It's a polo shirt and a really nice one at that
05:53This is a time where I think you can maybe buy them something that's either gonna be like their best polo
05:57You know the absolute Sunday medal polo or something a bit louder a bit bolder
06:02I've got a few examples for you here. This is the Puma aloha polo
06:06I like this one a lot again a bit louder if that's the kind of person you're buying for
06:09You can get a really smart one this piece of a lot
06:11I think would be their sort of Sunday best medal one
06:14It's a beautiful polo there and then it's Galvin green one, which again has a bit more of a flashy pattern
06:19But I think when you're gifting for someone around this time of year get there's something they're gonna really
06:23Love and that perhaps it wouldn't buy for themselves
06:26But we're all over the year people gonna notice them out in the golf course
06:30Okay, another wardrobe staple and another sort of stocking filler
06:33I think you can't go wrong with this Christmas is a cap a golf cap and listen
06:37They might look really simple and something you don't want to give somebody but there are some really nice caps out there
06:41I bought three to your attention here got me adidas hydrophobic tour hat here
06:45So again, it looks like a very simple cap, but it's completely waterproof
06:47So they can wear this all year round and it's more than just a simple sort of baseball cap
06:51Really? I've then got the underarm ISO shield cap here, which is brilliant in the summer because it's super super breathable
06:57It's black one because that would sort of cook your head but you know
07:00Any other color of it would be great and then the Cobra tour hat, which I just think looks really good
07:04So, you know choose what you will but again
07:07Something golfers can wear all year round and will love to have as part of their wardrobe
07:11Maybe you get a polo as well that matches
07:13It's a really nice outfit that I think you can't go wrong with this gifting season
07:17So I put some links down in the description for all of these gifts that are actually good
07:21So you can go and check them out for yourself. I think my favorite would be a nice polo shirt
07:25I'm wearing one now. I'd love to receive one in for Christmas, but let me know what your gifting ideas are this year
