The best golf stocking stuffers are small and cheap. Golf is an expensive sport that requires a lot of large equipment, which makes finding these golf gifts hard.
Have no fear there are plenty of cheap golf gifts that are also small that any golfer would love to receive in their Chrismas Sock. Let me share some of my favorite golf stocking stuffer ideas.
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 fits perfectly as golf stocking stuffers. 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.
In terms of golf stocking stuffers, this is perfect. It is small, cheap, and they will love it, can’t go wrong with this choice.
2. Fore! On-Course Golf Game
A friend in my foursome brought these out one day, and it turned out to be one of the most fun days I have had on a golf course ever! After that day, not only did it become a staple of our golf outings, but it has also become the golf gift I most often give to friends and family. If your golfer plays golf with their friends, this is going to be the perfect golf stocking stuffer.
This golf gift is essentially a card mini-game to be played during a round of golf to make it more fun and interesting.
There are 3 different packs. Fore! Cards is the original and offers more traditional golf stakes. Fore! Drinks is perfect for the foursome who love to have a few drinks on the course, as the task and stakes are all drink-related. For the golfers who love to put a little money on their round of golf, Fore! Money will be perfect for them. Choose one or put all three in as golf stocking stuffers.
When you buy these as golf stocking stuffers it might get a confused look. But, trust me just tell them to give it a try once, and they will never go back to playing golf any other way with their friends. Once they do, they are going to be telling you what a stocking stuffer this was!
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 add this gift to their Christmas stocking. They will be singing the praises of how much better this brush works than their old one. It is one of the best golf stocking stuffers you can buy.
4. 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. When it comes to Christmas golf stocking stuffers none create a bigger smile.
5. NFL/NHL/MLB Putting Cover
The putting cover is the forgotten head cover in the golf bag. Many golfers will get personalized covers for their driver, woods, and hybrid, but most will just use the putting cover provided by the manufacturer. If they got their golf set used, or second hand they might have never owned a putting cover.
The putter is the golf club used the most often, and it will make up about half the total shots taken by a golfer. This means there is also a very strong likelihood your golfer has lost his original putting cover. They are constantly being dropped, or left on the putting green, and once lost golfers tend to not get a new one.
If your golfer is a die-hard fan of a sports team, then they will love to have that team logo on their putting cover.
The most important thing you need to know before buying this golf stocking stuffer is what type of putter your golfer uses. There are two types of putters. A blade is a putter that resembles a hockey stick. The other type is called a mallet putter. This is any putter that has a square, half-circle or pentagon-shaped back. It is also the head cover you want if the putter backing is shaped like a fang.
Golf stocking stuffers usually don’t have gifts this nice! Your golfer will truly love this and will be excited to see what else you have stuffed in their stocking.
6. 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.
This ball marker 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. If you are looking for golf stocking stuffers that will help your golfer’s game this is it.
7. Golf Club and Ball Cleaning Bag – Clubscrub
I can speak from personal experience that this little bag makes an excellent golf stocking stuffer, as it was put in my Christmas stocking. I’ll admit when I first got it, I did the polite smile, and thank you, but in my head, I thought well here is another golf gift I’ll never use. Boy was I ever wrong!
I attached it to my bag to try one round on a rainy day, where I knew my clubs would be picking up a lot of mud, and wow what a job it did to quickly and efficiently clean my club. It is now permanently attached to my bag.
The design is quite brilliant in its simplicity. The inside of the bag is made of a waterproof material, that allows you to clean your club on the course without the mess. Simply add ¼ cup of water to the bag, and you are ready to go. The inside of the bag has a clean face technology that gently cleans the club without any scratching.
The outside of the bag is made of a microfiber that stays dry. This allows the golfer to wipe dry their club after it is cleaned.
The hidden gem of this accessory is that it also doubles as a ball cleaner, which is extremely effective when you have a mud ball or some dirt on the ball, and you aren’t near the ball washers on the tee.
This little accessory is essentially a towel, club brush, and ball cleaner all in one. Golf stocking stuffers are a great way to get golfers to try new products. You will be introducing your golfer to a new product that I am sure they will love.
8. Pride Professional Golf Tees
Wooden golf tees break often, especially with amateur golfers who are not making pure contact with the ball. If buying tees as golf stocking stuffers 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.
If you are looking for golf stocking stuffers that you can assure they will use, you can’t go wrong with Pride Proffesional Golf Tees.
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 stocking stuffer.
This also makes a great gag gift for your golf stocking stuffers. 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 stocking stuffer to see if they will be tempted to use it. It is well worth the price, just to have a little fun with your golf stocking stuffers.
11. NFL/MLB/NHL Golf Ball and Tee Set
This set of golf balls and tees is so nice that your golfer may not even use them on the course for fear of losing them. The great thing is these balls do make for a great display ball on their desk or as part of any memorabilia case.
If they are brave enough to take this ball out on the course they may view it as their good luck ball, and only break it out on special holes or when they need the support of their favorite team.
The golf tees come in a pack of 50, so these are more likely to be used on the course. They are made of plastic and not wood. They aren’t the most durable plastic, and like the balls are likely to be used only on special occasions.
If you are looking for a specific team the set is available for every NFL, MLB or NHL team. Ensuring you have great golf stocking stuffers no matter what team they support
What is great about this set is that it pairs perfectly with the divot tool, and putting cover discussed earlier in the list. Put these three items together and you will have a great themed golf Christmas stocking that supports their favorite team.
12. Small Speaker – JBL Clip 3
The JBL Clip 3 is the perfect golf stocking stuffer for someone who is also a music enthusiast. There is nothing like a little music on the golf course to help make the round a little more enjoyable. This is a great golf speaker because of how small, but also how it easily clips onto a golf bag.
The speaker is made by JBL so you know already you are getting a top-of-the-line speaker. The sound quality is going to be second to none for a speaker of that size. The battery lasts up to 10 hours ensuring it won’t die at any point during the golf round. Plus the speaker is waterproof in case a little rain comes during the round. It has everything you want for a speaker to take onto the golf course.
The speaker comes in 12 different colors so take the time to find the color of their golf bag and pick the color that best matches it.
This may not feel like a golf gift, but it is certainly one a golfer will love. Don’t be swayed by needing a bigger more expensive golf speaker. This speaker is exactly the size a golfer needs. It makes a perfect addition to your golf stocking stuffers shopping list.
Conclusion: Best Golf Stocking Stuffers
