Principal Charity Classic / Wakonda Experience
While the PCC might seem far off, the holiday season is always a good time to save lots of money on the event.  Regular tickets and ticket packages can be had for huge discounts through the end of 2018 along with official PCC merchandise.  And my personal favorite is the Wakonda Golf Experience.  Play the historic Wakonda Club and get tickets to the PCC for less than $130.

Waggle Golf
Last week we put out an article on the new, up and coming golf apparel company Waggle Golf.  Waggle Golf offers fun and unique designs to stand out on the course.


Cut Golf
The discount online golf ball retailer has very recently sprung into apparel beyond the hats they have been selling.  And just like their golf balls (also a good gift), they can be had on the cheap.  My personal favorite design is the True Colors R&R.
CUT GOLF DEAL --  Currently new apparel items can be had for $10 off normal prices.  No code needed, just head to their site and check them out.

Snell Golf
Started by Dean Snell, who has a long career in the golf ball industry including helping design the original Pro-V1.  Snell Golf's MTB lines have been a big hit in their short history and will be a big hit when found under the tree Christmas morning.
SNELL GOLF DEAL -- During the holiday season buy the premium line MTB (Red & Black) for $26.99/dozen, that is 15% off normal prices.  The 2 piece distance ball Get Sum can be had for $16.99/dozen.

Rool Golf
Rool Golf offers a variety of golf apparel, but my favorites are the graphic tees in various golf themes.  And at the top of the list is The Perfect Stroke Tee that features a Bob Ross-esque golfer.

 2019 US Open Gear
The 2019 US Open heads to iconic Pebble Beach, that makes for some must have merchandise.  Shop from all the top brands including Nike, Pete Millar, Under Armour, Cutter & Buck and much more. Also a good place to shop past US Open merchandise at extreme discounts.

Putting Alignment Mirror
The golf training aid arena is big and can be confusing.  What actually works and doesn't work? Well how about a device that is seen regularly used by PGA Tour pros?  Putting is the best place to gain strokes so the putting alignment mirror is as good as it gets.  It is compact and easy to take to the course or use at home and can be had for as little as $40.

Golf Shopping Tips
If you are not familiar with golf products, finding the right golf gift that will be loved can be difficult.  Here are some dos and don'ts when buying your Christmas golf gifts.

Golf Balls
You may be surprised at how much it cost to buy 12 little white (or yellow/orange/blue/pink) balls.  Golf balls make a great gift, every golfer needs them and needs lots of them.  Before heading to the store, you need to look at the current golf balls he has to know what you are looking for.  And just like a car, you need to know the Make (i.e. Callaway) and model (i.e. Chrome Soft) of the ball as there are many varieties.  Golfers can be very specific with the ball they use, if the ball they use cost $50 don't buy a similar ball for $20. It is better to just buy something different than get a dozen golf balls that will gather dust in the garage.

Gift card
Gift cards are always the easiest gift.  Pretty much any kind of golf retailer or course will have them.  And if you are the "gift cards are impersonal" type, a gift card to a specific course shows thought went into the purchase to identify which course the gift receiver will get to play.

Golf apparel
While lots of people wouldn't like the ideal of getting a shirt or pants as a gift, golf clothes are different.  These days golf style is a big deal, and there are many types of styles to be had.  You can easily look at his/her's current golf clothes for an idea of what they like.  If you aren't sure though, a solid Nike (or similar brand) polo will usually work.  But to really bring the gift to the next level, it is best to get multiple pieces to bring the outfit together.  That can be a matching shirt and belt, pants and hat or a whole head to toe outfit.
