The Best of 2017: Your Last Minute Golf Gift List

We’re all guilty of it. You’ve waited until the last minute to do your holiday shopping and now you’re scrambling for ideas.

If you’ve got a golfer on your list, I’m here to help. Over the past year, I’ve had the chance to test and review some pretty cool golf products. And while you think your golfer may have everything they need, I guarantee they would love something from the list below.

#1 The AmpCaddy

For the music lover: The AmpCaddy: Simply put, I love this thing. It connects via Bluetooth, it easily fits into a golf bag, even easier to mount onto a golf cart, and it sounds great.

Some say music on the course is a young man’s game, those people would be wrong. While it may not be appropriate all the time and at every course, everyone I’ve played with, young or old, has enjoyed a little music while on the course.

#2 – SelfieGolf

For the range rat: SelfieGolf: Another one of my favorite products of 2017. But don’t take my word for it, SelfieGolf was also given a “Best New Product” award at this year’s PGA Show in Orlando.

Every golfer wants video of their swing and this thing makes it so easy. Just attach it to a club or an alignment stick in your bag, stick your phone in the holder, and away you go.

#3 ShotScope

For the tech lover/data nerd: ShotScope: ShotScope is pushing the envelope of shot tracking. In fact, they’ve already released a Version 2 that is even superior to the one I reviewed earlier this year.

The majority of the shot tracking technology that is currently in the market (like GAME GOLF) requires you to “tag” your club before every shot. Most of them also don’t account for hole placement on each green. ShotScope does it better. No tagging and it allows you to mark each hole from green to green. Giving the most accurate shot and putting data possible.

#4 – Ted Baker Golf Apparel

For the stylish: Ted Baker Golf Apparel: Ted Baker gets it right when it comes to golf apparel. I’ve never been much of a golf pants type of guy until I got myself a pair of their pants.

Super-comfortable, with all sorts of golfy “bells and whistles” included, and I always get compliments on them.

#5 – Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons

For the book lover: Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons: Easily the most popular, most read, and most gifted golf book there is and ever will be. Every golfer will love getting this book.

Even if they never read it and just leave it in the bathroom for decoration. This is a no-brainer.

#6 – Tathata Golf Instruction

For the golfer that needs a little help: Tathata Golf Instruction: Brian and the folks at Tathata Golf have put a lot of thought and time into their training, including pace, teaching method, and additional tools. They’ve even upgraded and added more in their latest update including an app, Tathata TV, and more instruction beyond the fundamentals.

If your golfer is stuck inside this winter, this is a gift that will have them ready to go when the ground thaws again. Plus, you can use coupon code “golficity” at checkout to get $10 off the program.

#7 – TecTecTec Rangefinder

For every golfer: TecTecTec VPRO500S Rangefinder: Before I found this TecTecTec Rangefinder I always thought rangefinders weren’t worth their cost. I mean, I’ve got my phone right here that will give me distances on a golf course for free. But at about $180, it’s a little more justifiable.

And any golfer, regardless of skill-level, can benefit from a rangefinder. This one will give you distances to hazard, or right on the flag, and will include slope if you want it.
