A killer rain jacket
I’ve worn it on real courses, in real rain. I’ve had what the kids call “lived experiences” in my jacket, and I’ve loved it. A lot. Whether I would have bought it for myself is a hypothetical I’m happy to answer. What I do know is that now that I have it, I’m a lot less worried when the sunny forecast is wrong.

Fashionable and functional sunglasses
In the months since I got them, each pair has been incredible and I’ve worn them absolutely everywhere, including the golf course. They are very comfortable, even under a hat. And though I’ve dropped it dozens of times, somehow, I’ve yet to find a scratch. And the best part? They are available at a price that does not make them feel too precious. For the price of a “designer” pair, you can get a half dozen or more cool styles from WMP Glasses. Read Jessica Marksbury’s full review here.

An indispensable deployment tool
I’ve tried my fair share of golf training aids over the years, and while some have been total failures, there was one this year that became my best purchase of 2025: the Short Game Gains Trigon Toolkit. This simple but effective tool has completely transformed my approach to putting, and that’s why it has become indispensable in my game this season. Read Maddi MacClurg’s full review here.
Trigon Wins Short Game Toolkit
Our most innovative package yet – Trigon Toolkit comes with 4 deployment aids. First, the Steel Trigon Mirror is a double-sided reflective plate for checking eye line, starting line practice, face alignment, aiming and center contact enforcement. It also acts as a template, working in conjunction with the chalk placement pens to create an identical alignment configuration on the grass. Next, the Trigon Toolkit includes a double-sided, reflective steel shoulder extension mirror. The reverse side acts as a ruler to measure setup and calibrate your stroke length. Additionally, this pack boasts 2 chalk pens filled with non-toxic water-based chalk for creating target lines, alignment traces and starting line graphics. These are easily wiped off with a damp cloth and do not damage or kill the grass. Finally, this kit includes a retractable target string. This can be used to connect the Trigon to a desired target point, either hole or secondary point. This helps not only with aiming, but also with the starting line and reading the green. Check out our tutorial videos for tips, tricks and drills to improve your game!

The best underwear you can buy
It brings me no joy to report that I regularly try to buy underwear at very high prices. It brings me no joy to tell you that I know all about the latest and greatest in hosiery and underwear technology. But it’s inevitably true, and at Christmas this year, stockings and underwear are what brought a smile to my face. Read James Colgan’s full review here.

A hoodie worn everywhere
This year, I’m on my third Higgins, which is as good as my second Higgins, which is as good as my first Higgins. In 2022, I received Higgins no. 1 and I wore it everywhere so I quickly bought the gray one a few months later. This year, the tread on the first one started to break, so I ordered the blue one. But all are equal. Ever heard that a sign of a good restaurant is if it can match – or exceed – what it did on an initial visit? Radmor has done that here. Read on Nick Piastowski’s full review here.
