Golf Christmas Stocking Fillers is a short golf blog post that looks at some ideas of what you can buy for your favourite golfer this Christmas.
Let’s be honest. Buying a main Christmas present for the golfer in your life is a nightmare.
If they want a new driver, it costs more than a weekend break to Prague. If they want clothes, you won’t know the brand, size, or specific shade of “performance navy” they prefer. And if you ask them what they want, they’ll vaguely mutter about “shooting lower scores” or “finding a swing plane,” neither of which you can buy on Amazon.
This year, forget the big box under the tree. The real magic for a golfer lies in the stocking.
Golf is a game of accessories. It’s a sport defined by small gadgets, consumable items, and minor upgrades that make a miserable, rainy four hours slightly more bearable. The stocking filler isn’t an afterthought for a golfer; it’s an opportunity to give them the premium versions of essentials they are too cheap to buy for themselves.
Golf Christmas Stocking Fillers
Here is a guide to the top 5 best-selling “stocking fillers” (some may require an oversized stocking) under £100 that will genuinely delight the golf addict in your life.
The “Golf Currency”: Titleist Pro V1 (One Dozen)
The Reality: To a non-golfer, £50 for twelve small white balls seems insane. Especially when you consider your recipient will likely hit three of them into a pond on Boxing Day morning.
Why They Want It: The Titleist Pro V1 is not just a golf ball; it is the gold standard. It is the currency of the golf course.
Golfers have a complex relationship with balls. We want to play the best because they spin better around the greens, feel softer off the clubface, and fly more consistently in the wind. But we hate buying them because we know they are temporary.
Giving a golfer a dozen Pro V1s is the ultimate indulgence. It means for the next few rounds, they don’t have to nervously use an old, scuffed-up ball they found in the bushes. They get to tee up a brand-new, gleaming pearl of performance without the guilt of having paid for it themselves. It is the safest, most universally appreciated bet in golf gifting.
Typical Price: £45 – £50
Stocking fit: Perfect.
The Confidence Booster: A Sub-£100 Laser Rangefinder
The Reality: Watch your golfer play. Do they spend five minutes walking around looking for sprinkler heads to guess how far they are from the green, only to come up short anyway? They need help.
Why They Want It: For years, good laser rangefinders were expensive (£300+). Recently, the market has flooded with excellent, “no-frills” options under the £100 mark (brands like Boblov, Mileseey, or older models of Bushnell on sale).
A laser rangefinder changes the game instantly. They point it at the flag, press a button, and get the exact yardage to within a foot. It speeds up play and, crucially, removes doubt. Knowing exactly that it’s 142 yards to the pin allows them to commit to the shot fully. It’s a tech upgrade that feels profoundly professional to use.
Look for models that offer “Slope adjustment” (which calculates uphill/downhill distance) for the best value.
Typical Price: £70 – £95 for highly-rated budget models.
Stocking fit: Easily.
The Addictive Home Trainer: PuttOUT Premium Pressure Putt Trainer
The Reality: Golfers know they lose most of their shots on the green. They also know that putting practice is boring. They need something that gamifies the frustration.
Why They Want It: The PuttOUT trainer has become iconic in the last few years. It’s a scientifically designed parabolic ramp made of high-quality polycarbonate and aluminium.
Here’s the hook: if you putt the ball up the ramp, it returns it to you the exact distance it would have gone past the hole if you missed. But, if you hit the perfect putt, with exactly the right pace and line, the ball will travel up the ramp and stick in the tiny “micro-target” indentation halfway up.
It isn’t easy to get it to stick. Your golfer will spend hours on the living room rug on Christmas afternoon, ignoring the family, trying to hit that perfect putt just once.
Typical Price: Around £30 (Combine it with their matching mat for £60 total if you have a bigger stocking).
Stocking fit: Yes, it folds flat.
The Winter Saviour: MacWet Climatec Winter Gloves (Pair)
The Reality: If you live in the UK, winter golf means cold hands and wet grips. Trying to swing a golf club when you have no feeling in your fingers, and the club is slipping,g is a special kind of torture.
Why They Want It: Standard leather golf gloves are useless in the rain; they get slick and wear out quickly. MacWet gloves are different. Originally developed for horse riding and shooting, they use a unique “Aquatec” material that actually grips better the wetter it gets.
The “Climatec” version also has a thin fleece lining on the back to stop the wind chill. They are sold in pairs (unlike normal golf gloves). Owning a pair of these transforms winter golf from an ordeal into an enjoyable activity. It’s a purely practical gift that they will thank you for every time the heavens open on the 4th tee.
Typical Price: £30 – £35 per pair.
Stocking fit: Easy.
The Ultimate Hygiene Upgrade: The Grooveit ‘Wet & Dry’ Scrub Brush Towel
The Reality: Look at your golfer’s current towel. It’s probably a crusty, mud-stained rag hanging off their bag that hasn’t been washed since the 2019 Masters.
Why They Want It: Clean grooves on a golf club are essential for generating spin and controlling the ball. A dirty clubface leads to unpredictable shots.
The Grooveit is the Tesla of golf towels. It’s a high-quality microfiber towel with a built-in, heavy-duty scrubbing brush attached to a water reservoir. You squeeze the reservoir, water sprays onto the clubface, and you use the attached brush to scrub the grooves clean before wiping it dry with the towel.
It connects to the bag with a strong magnet, making it easy to grab and use. It’s one of those clever little gadgets that makes club maintenance incredibly satisfying during a round.
Typical Price: Around £25 – £30.
Stocking fit: Yes, rolled up.
