For the golfers in your foursome who seem to have it all, these thoughtful gifts are sure to bring a smile to their faces this holiday season. From faux-wood-paneling coolers and portable waterproof speakers to turn up the fun on the course, to ultra-cool putters and novelty retro headcovers to amplify their style and swagger, you’ll find an assortment of gifts for the modern golfer in your life.

Swag’s “Core Collection” features five of their aptly named putter models: Handsome One, Handsome Too, Handsome One Flow, Handsome Too Flow, The Boss, and The Boss 2.0. One of the standout features of the capsule is the “Drip Face” milling, designed to be softer and quieter off the face, while reducing side spins and looking cool through it all.
