Post by Golf Journalist, Joshua Carr

It’s nearing that time of year where the children get excited for the arrival of jolly, old St Nicholas and us golfers sit and wonder just what golf related gift our loved ones have bought us this Christmas. You pray that there are no nightmare golfing gifts such as golf ball shaped chocolates and instead hope for a brand new driver. So, here are some of the best Christmas gifts to get for your loved ones this Christmas.

Bushnell Tour X Laser

Bushnell have been leading the way in recent years in the laser range finder market and earlier this year they released a new flagship model - The Tour X. What sets the Tour X apart from all other lasers is it's interchangeable lens which alows a user to switch between slope and non-slope settings. 

Although this technology does not come cheap carrying a retail price of £419  any golfer would be very happy to find this laser in their stocking come Christmas morning.

Personalised Titleist Golf Balls

As Titleist continue their dominance as the go to golf ball for golfers, this Christmas they are offering free golf ball personalisation. The opportunity to personalise a dozen Titleist golf balls lasts until December 6 and would be the perfect stocking filler for all golf fanatics.

Your personalisation can be anything from initials, a nickname or even a Christmas message and to make things even more special this Christmas, Titleist will throw in a free Titleist ball marker with every dozen you order.

You can personalise any dozen from the Titleist Performance range, which includes the Pro V1, Pro V1x, NXT Tour, NXT Tour S, Velocity and DT SoLo. This Christmas special offers black print in block capitals across three lines and up to 17 characters on each line.

Mizuno S5 Wedge

Why not make your Christmas a blue one, in a good way, this year by spoiling your loved one to a brand new Mizuno S5 Wedge. The enticing midsize profile with sharply visible sole grinds sets up perfectly for imagination and creativity around the greens.

The S5 wedge was first put into play by short game maestro Luke Donald at the BMW PGA Championship 2015. Now, if it is good enough for a former world number one whose short game is second to none then it more than certainly will be good enough for you.

Mizuno S5 Wedges carry a retail price of £110

Loudmouth “Deck the Halls” & “Golfin’ Santa” Range

If you’re not one to shy away from an outrageous outfit on the golf course then the new Deck the Halls & Golfin’ Santa range from Loudmouth should be right at the top of your list.

The two patterns are available for both men and women in trousers, shorts, mini-shorts, capris, skorts, sport coats and waistcoats. The Deck the Halls pattern is simply baubles and holly embroidered onto a rich, red fabric. The Golfin Santa pattern is a bit more complex but after the success of the Surfin’ Santa and North Pole Country Club designs, Golfin’ Santa is sure to go down a treat and this Christmas Santa and his reindeer have decided to go golfing in the Caribbean.

In addition to stocked items, customers can order through Loudmouth’s Made-to-Order shop, which allows customers to customize the length, waist size, and design features of their garment to provide the ultimate fit.
