As someone who was forced to play golf as a country club tween, I’ve now come to love the sport after picking it up again while living in North Carolina in the midst of a pandemic. I’ve gotten my boyfriend into it too and it's a hobby we can enjoy together—but it's a hobby that requires a lot of stuff. It’s expensive to say the least. Luckily that makes finding the best gifts for golfers a little easier so long as you know what to buy. Because, trust me, you don’t want to embarrass yourself by getting them the wrong balls.
