Wakey, wakey golfers! Our winter golf hibernation is almost over...
The evenings are getting longer, the flowers are beginning to grow again and then clocks change soon which means the golf season is almost upon us! As a man slightly obsessed with the weather, a glimmer of sun, a bud on a blossom tree and a dry-ish golf course has got me shaking with anticipation for the next six months of golf. If you're a golfing warrior and have had the motivation to play through the grey, dreary winter days then fair play, but this list can still apply to you! If you're a golfer who played through the winter in beautiful sunshine... then I'm jealous.
For those living in the UK, it has been a truly grey and wet start to the year, but the good (dry) times are very, very close. It's been a long old slog, and it seems like a lifetime since I wrote about the 5 things I'd be putting in my golf bag for the winter at the end of last year. Such has been my lack of golf over the last month, my golf bag has been nothing more than a dust collector in my hallway.
As we all try and manage our excitement ahead of the 2025 season, our gear team here at Golf Monthly recently put their heads together to answer the question - what products would we recommend as golfers to help improve someone else's game this Spring? If you're getting back into golf this spring, now is the best time to have a proper sort out of your golf bag and get it ready for the best six month stretch of the year.
We compared and contrasted items we've tested over the years and concluded with this list of nine potential options. Obviously context dependent, we aren't saying every player should go for all 9 items below, some may only need, or want, a couple, so choose according to your current equipment setup because we have tried to cover every base here.
Our gear and e-comm team work hand in hand to help our readers find the best golf deals possible online, so if you'd like more content like this why not sign up to our Golf Monthly newsletter at the bottom of this page? Every Saturday you'll get an email straight to your inbox highlighting some of the best deals we've found that week.
