Golf is hard enough to love on its own. Asking someone to love you on your terms, for four-plus hours, in the elements, is a tall order. That’s why getting your wife or girlfriend to play golf with you is less about persuasion and more about actually making the experience enjoyable. I never thought I would get there, but somehow, I did.
With that said, Valentine’s Day, whether we like it or not, is a pretty good excuse to invest in the things that make golf feel less like a chore and more like something she’ll actually want to do again. These are practical and thoughtful golf gifts that helped get my wife on the course and fall in love with the game, and I hope they can do the same for yours.
1. Vice Boost Women’s Starter Set
Getting in and staying in the game requires a set of clubs. I’m a big proponent of paying a little more for quality rather than taking the cheapest route possible. Check out, if budgets are tight, boxed sets from brands like Top Spray will do the job. But for a few hundred dollars more, Vice Boost Women’s Starter Set it’s worlds best in the quality department. Both visually and performance-wise, these clubs are a step up, and, in my opinion, a great way to get your special someone started with their best foot forward. This kit comes with a bag, driver, hybrid, 6-9 irons, PW, SW and blade – everything a beginner will need. My wife loves her set, and she’s really starting to like the game too.
2. lululemon Define Cropped Jacket
When I first asked my wife to go golfing with me, she said yes, but was more excited about “wearing a cute outfit and driving a cart.” Fair enough. By now you guys know me, I’m all about style on and off the course, and like my wife, Olivia, I’m a firm believer that fun on the course starts with looking good. When I asked her what she would actually recommend as a nice giftable piece to get your wife or girlfriend on the course, she didn’t hesitate: lululemon Define Cropped Jacket. It’s slim enough to carry in your bag, works in a wide range of temperatures and looks fantastic. Lululemon is almost always a winner for a good reason: they make good stuff.
3. New Balance & CALIA 327 Women’s Golf Shoes
I’ve seen it time and time again: young players going for a round in plain old sneakers. If we set things up for success, it starts from the ground up, and that means the right pair of golf shoes. My wife’s undisputed favorite is New Balance & CALIA 327 for womenand it’s easy to see why. A throwback to the 70s with modern sensibilities, the 327 is one of New Balance’s most popular silhouettes. It looks great casually and also on the course. I hate to say it, but we’re building outfits here… These look perfect with the lululemon jacket, and when someone feels good about their look, they’re much more likely to actually enjoy the ride.
4. G/FORE Women’s Signature Golf Gloves
When it comes to gloves, I’m definitely one Bruce Bolt boy but my wife is a G/PARA girl. of G/FORE Women’s Signature Golf Gloves is one of the most striking gloves on the market. G/FORE’s colors are unique, but more importantly, they’re fun and help make the game more fun. If we’re being honest, the blush is the perfect Valentine’s Day color and is a great accessory to add a nice contrast to her golf outfit. I can also say that the G/FORE glove is one of the most premium gloves on the market and will last a long time. This is a good investment in both of your golfing futures.
5. Ovala 30 oz. FreeSip Sway Tumbler Travel
In case you didn’t know, Owala is the “it” water bottle of the decade. What sets them apart is their unrivaled range of sizes, styles and color combinations – they really do have something for everyone. of 30 oz. FreeSip Sway Tumbler Travel it is especially suitable for the golf course. It fits easily in a stroller’s cup holder or in the pocket of a water bottle bag, and the handle makes it easy to clip onto a carabiner if needed. It’s practical, without feeling heavy or annoying to deal with in between. One thing my wife really likes about this is the size. According to her, it’s the perfect amount of hydration for 18 holes.

6. Daphne’s Doodle Headgear
If I have one criticism of the aforementioned Vice set, it’s that the bags and headgear are black and boring. If you want the woman in your life to have fun out there, start by making it fun, and there’s no better way to do that than with a head covering. In general, head coverings are not aimed at women. However, if there’s one thing my wife loves, it’s our Mini Bernedoodle, Hayes. Dogs do not belong on the golf course, but this is a fun way to bring your dog along. My wife loves hers. In her words: “Cute!”
7. G/FORE Chain Stitch Circle G’s Soutache Twill Golf Visor
We have G/FORE again because their stuff looks great and just makes the game more alive. What really works for G’s Chain Stitch Circle Soutache Visor it’s the subtlety of it. The red and blue accents on the white background look so clean and really give this a refined look. Although it looks better on the woman (everything does), I’ve often been tempted to remove this from her wardrobe. I’ve been nice and didn’t do that, but in your case, maybe it could be a his and hers gift…
8. flower
If you really want the woman in your life to come play golf with you, give her what she really wants this Valentine’s Day, and honestly, most days: a bouquet of thoughtful flowers. This doesn’t mean grabbing the first arrangement you see at the grocery store and handing it over still wrapped in plastic. Go the thoughtful route and get her something with gravitas. Personally, I love it Butter arrangement from Bouqs. The colors are outstanding, and it feels and looks special. I also appreciate that it doesn’t include lilies, which means neither of you will spend the day sneezing non-stop. Consider this opening move. Flowers don’t make it on the golf course by themselves, but they certainly help set the tone. And if the goal is to make golf feel like something wants to do with you, starting with something thoughtful and truly loving goes a long way, and that’s what a lasting relationship is all about.
