Our take: if you don't know their specs, give something that doesn't need to fit: golf balls, a towel, a headcover or a rangefinder. Save clubs and shoes for when you know their hand, size and shaft flex.

How to buy a golf gift without knowing their specs

• No specs needed: golf balls, towels, headcovers, rangefinders and GPS devices.

• Know the hand: putters and wedges. Most golfers are right-handed, but check.

• Know the size: shoes and apparel.

• Know the specs: drivers and irons need the right shaft flex and loft. If you're not sure, ask a playing partner or look at their current clubs.

• Brand loyalty matters: many golfers play one ball or one brand. Peek in their bag before you buy.

Tips for buying used golf gifts

• Check the condition grade. "New with Tags" and "New without Tags" items are perfect for gifts. Used clubs graded 8.0 and up look and play great.

• Ask the seller. Use Ask the seller on Trade2Golf to confirm details or request more photos. (See What to Check Before Buying Used Golf Clubs Online.)

• Order early. Each seller ships their own item, so give extra time before the holidays.

• Pay on the platform. Never pay outside the marketplace, so your purchase stays protected. Learn more in How to Buy Used Golf Clubs Safely on Trade2Golf.

Want some gift money? Old clubs in the garage can pay for the gift. Find out what your used golf clubs are worth and list them in minutes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best golf gift under $50?

Golf balls are the best gift under $50 because every golfer uses them. A towel, a headcover or a small GPS marker are also great choices.

What is the best golf gift for a golfer who has everything?

A rangefinder, premium golf balls or a used Scotty Cameron putter. These are things many golfers want but rarely buy for themselves.

Is it OK to give a used golf club as a gift?

Yes. Golfers buy used clubs all the time because they perform like new for much less. Choose a club in good condition (8.0 or higher) and make sure the hand and specs match.

Are golf balls a good gift?

Yes. Golf balls are the most useful golf gift because they get lost every round. Pick a premium model they would not usually buy.

What golf gifts don't need sizing?

Golf balls, towels, headcovers, rangefinders, GPS devices and bags. They work for any golfer.

What is a good gift for a beginner golfer?

Golf balls, a stand bag or a forgiving used putter like the Odyssey 2-Ball. These help a new golfer without needing a club fitting.
