Shopping for the devoted golfer in your life can be a challenge, especially if the extent of your golfing comprehension ends with Happy Gilmore or Caddyshack. But you don’t need to know the difference between bogie and birdie to find an appreciable gift. You may not be able to get your hands on any of the prestigiously exclusive merch sold at the Masters, but you can gift something that your favorite golfer will actually use and cherish—whether that’s fun golf gear, pro golf gadgets, or even golf-inspired keepsakes.
