Finding a cheap golf gift under $20 can be difficult. Golf is expensive, with golf clubs, bags, carts, and even clothing costing well over $100. Shopping for that golfer in your life on a budget might seem like an impossible task.
Have no fear there are plenty of cheap golf gifts under $20 that any golfer would love to receive. Let me share some of my favorite cheap golf gift ideas under $20.
1. MLB/NFL/NHL Divot Tool and Ball Market Set
A divot repair tool and ball marker are two accessories that all golfers need when playing a round of golf. A divot tool repairs the putting green when the landing ball creates damage. The ball marker marks the position of the ball when it is in the way of other golfers putting line. Both tools are essential for a golfer to maintain proper golf etiquette.
Most golfers will likely own both these tools but in a very generic brand that they don’t cherish. As such they carelessly treat these tools, and they are very often lost and have to be replaced. The moment I had tools that I cherished, I would constantly check I had both with me after leaving each green, because I didn’t want to lose them.
The question is what can be printed on these tools that will make your golfer cherish it more? That can be a hard question to answer. But if they are also a die-hard fan of a sports franchise, then this becomes easy. The set is available for every NFL, MLB and NHL team.
This divot tool and ball marker set are beautifully manufactured and packaged in a classy tin that makes it a great cheap golf gift. The ball markers come in two different styles, allowing the golfer to choose which style they like best, and allowing them to have a backup should they lose one.
If the golfer prefers to have the ball marker clipped on their hat. There is also a version of the gift set that replaces the second ball marker with a hat clip. You can find an example of that model here.
Your golfer is going to love having golf tools that support their favorite sports team. This is a great cheap golf gift that I assure you they will use.
2. Positive Golf Ball
This may be my favorite golf gift regardless of price. I have bought this as a cheap golf gift a few times, and each time it gets a genuine smile. If you think it is too tacky, it isn’t. Golfers love this little positive ball!
I will let you in on a little secret. Golfers will feel like they want to quit the sport forever at least 20 times in a golf round. It is a sport that constantly has you riding the edge of insanity. The number of times a golfer curses at themselves for missing a 3-foot putt, slicing a drive in the forest, chunking their irons, or splashing the ball in the water, is more than you can imagine. Their positivity is hanging on by a thread all round.
This little guy is your way of saying, I understand the struggle. That is the best way I can put it. That’s why it always makes a golfer smile. This gift makes them feel like they’re understood.
It is your way of saying I care; I believe in you. It is a little token that they will not only want to take with them on the golf course, but they will also want to have it visible on their golf bag. Because when positivity is hanging on by a thread this little guy is there looking back at them, and suddenly that anger fades.
They’re reminded it’s only a game. They’re reminded that it’s a beautiful summer day, and they are out enjoying it on a golf course. They’re reminded they are with good friends, having good laughs, and having FUN! It lifts anxiety because it reminds them what is truly important. Not a missed shot they’re never going to remember. That is the power of this little positive ball of energy!
Now, every time that little positive ball speaks to them, they will hear your voice. They will think of you and thank you for that little positive pick me up they need to get by a rough moment in the round. Trust me what whatever golfer you buy this for is going to absolutely love it.
3. Golf Brush Bottle
This is another golf accessory that every golfer should own. A good golf brush is essential to have on the golf course. Golf clubs are constantly interacting with earth and sand, which causes the club to get dirty. It requires cleaning to ensure the club face doesn’t have anything on it that will affect the quality of the shot.
Most golfers will have a standard bristle golf brush attached to their bag, but these brushes don’t do the best job of cleaning a club. A dry bristle golf brush will remove some dirt and mud but too often it just smears excess dirt on the club face, giving an incomplete job.
To effectively clean a golf club on the course you need a little water applied. This golf brush has a little bottle container attached, which allows a little water to be applied when scrubbing. If the bottle is not squeezed while in use it will act as a normal standard dry brush. This creates a quick clean surface every time the brush is used.
This is a case of the golfer not knowing what they have been missing until it is tried. Once a golfer uses this type of brush on the course, they will never go back to the standard dry brush.
Do the golfer in your life a massive favor and buy them this brush. This cheap golf gift will be worth way more to them than you even know. They will be singing the praises of how much better this brush works than their old one.
4. Nike Men’s 3-Pack Golf Web Belt
A golf belt is a piece of apparel that ties together the whole golf outfit together. A golf belt just makes the whole golf outfit look sharp by separating the shirt from the pants.
The problem usually with buying golf apparel as a cheap golf gift is that golf style should be a personal choice of the golfer. But a belt is more of an accent and will go with a lot of things they already own. The golf belt will take their already existing wardrobe and add belts that match it.
This is the beauty of the Nike Men’s 3-pack golf belt; you get three in one! This way your golfer has options to pick the perfect belt for their outfit on game day.
The Nike 3 Pack golf belt comes in a variety of different colors, so no matter if your golfer is more of a black, grey, and navy color palette, or if they love the big flashy colors there will be a golf belt pack for them.
5. Alignment Ball Mark Golf Marker
Ball markers are not all built equally. While generally this tool only serves to mark your ball on the green, some ball marks will help you to properly align your ball to the target line. The alignment ball mark takes this one step further.
For under $20, you can buy this cheap golf gift that was voted the best new product at the 2022 PGA Golf Show.
How it works is quite simple. Once on the green mark your ball with the tool and remove it. Once the ball mark is down you can crouch behind the ball marker and adjust it with your putter to align it to the target line. The 360-degree rotating head makes it very easy to place it in position.
Once you have the ball mark aligned to your target line replace your ball and align the mark on your golf ball, to the tool target line. Just like that the ball is lined up to the target line quickly, and accurately.
The alignment ball mark allows you to step back from the marker to give you the proper perspective when aligning your ball marker to the target line. This ensures you get the perfect line the very first time. No more back and forth between placing the ball mark, and then stepping back and assessing if the line is right. You will get that perfect line each, and every time, the first time. This way you can just trust the line and sink the putt.
Sometimes the most ingenious products are the simplest, and cheapest. This alignment ball mark is the perfect example. If the golfer, you are shopping for is struggling with putting this ball alignment ball mark is the perfect cheap golf gift to help their game.
6. Golf Course Art Work
This cheap golf gift under $20 is perfect for any golf mancave or office. The digital art print is available for 22 famous golf courses painted in a cool art deco style.
The prints can be purchased in up to a 24×36 size, and for a budget of $20, you can obtain this print in a 16×20 size, which in my opinion is the perfect size for this type of print.
If the golfer has recently taken a golf trip to a famous course this also makes a beautiful stylish memento of their recent golf trip. I would visit the product link and check the available courses to see if the course they played is available.
This digital art print works amazingly in a collage style. A golfer can add other famous courses that they love, or famous courses they have played. If you don’t know what course to get you can’t go wrong with Augusta National, the home of the Masters Tournament. This is a beloved course for all golfers, and it makes a perfect start to their collection.
7. NFL/MLB/NHL Golf Towel
As with the divot tool and ball marker set discussed earlier here is another cheap golf gift under $20 that any die-hard sports fan will love. Like the tools mentioned above a golf towel is an essential golf accessory.
Most golfers will have a functional one-color generic brand towel that says nothing about the golfer. If you know this golfer constantly wears their team gear, this will make a great cheap golf gift. This towel is again available for every NFL, MLB, and NHL team.
The towel is very well made with the team logo embroidered on the top of the towel. The towel is made of 100% cotton and has a checkered scrubber design that is designed to clean golf clubs and balls. The towel also features a swivel clip that easily clips on the golf bags and rotates for ease of use.
Save your golfer from that dirty rag they currently have attached to their bag. You are going to be surprised when you see them detach it, and actually wash it so it remains clean. A golfer will go to great lengths to maintain accessories they want to proudly display. They will love this golf gift and will be happy to display it on their golf bag.
8. Pride Professional Tees
Wooden golf tees break often, especially with amateur golfers who are not making pure contact with the ball. If buying golf tees as a gift you are going to want to buy durable plastic tees which will last much longer.
Pride Professional Tees are the gold standard when it comes to manufacturing golf tees. Their tees are durable, and built to last. They also sell wooden tees, but you are going to want to invest in plastic ones.
Each tee has a color bar indicator to give an easy way for golfers to know how far to stick the tee in the ground. Also, all of their plastic tees are designed with a low resistance tip, for greater distance.
I particularly like this combo pack best as it offers 40 standard 2 ¾ inch tees for use with a driver, and 10 smaller 1 ½ inch tees for irons.
This may not be the most glamorous golf gift, but it is a gift that can be purchased for under $20 that you can be assured your golfer will be using.
9. Golf Slic Stick
Ok, this one is controversial. No, it is not ChapStick, but it will add a sticky substance to the club face to reduce spin on golf shots. Spin is the culprit for causing slicing or hooking shots. Applying this substance on the golf club face will reduce spin, reducing slices or hooks.
Now the big question you are asking. Is this legal? The answer is no, but it works.
What you need to ask is if the golfer you are shopping for is willing to bend the rules a little to gain an edge. Maybe they are just feeling frustrated with their swing and want something to help them enjoy the game with friends. If that is the case this can be the perfect cheap golf gift for them.
This also makes a great gag gift for friends. If you know your golf partner struggles mightily with hooks or slices off the tee. This is a great thing to pull out and hand them after they put another ball deep in the forest. It is sure to get massive laughs from your foursome. Then a fun debate starts, will they use the gift? and will the foursome allow it?
This is an effective, but illegal substance that can help a golfer willing to bend the rules. It is a fun cheap golf gift to give to see if they will be tempted to use it. It is well worth the price, just to have a little fun with the golfer you are buying it for, and at the same time, you can help fix a swing problem.
