2021 GolfWRX Holiday Gift Guide: Golf gifts for the Value Seeker

Published

on

It’s that time of year again, GolfWRX members, the moment we start filling our wish lists with the golf gear we want this holiday season.

The GolfWRX Holiday Gift Guide was created to ensure that our readers give (and hopefully receive) the very best golf gifts on the planet. These gift ideas will suit any budget, and each item was hand-picked by our staff.

In an effort to provide more value and tailored recommendations, we’re presenting our guide as a series this year, targeting “the purist,” “the gearhead,” “the value seeker,” “the golfer looking to improve,” “the clothes horse,” and “the big spender.”

You know the value seeker by his/her eschewing of anything that will put a significant dent into the wallet while still getting the most from their game, this includes equipment, practice tools, or anything else you might find filling out a golf bag – maybe even the golf bag itself.

Here are our best recommendations for “the value seeker” in your life.

Tour Edge Hot Launch C522, E522 drivers – $249.99

You can read all the tech details of the C522 (competition spec) and E522 (extreme spec) Hot Launch metal woods in our launch piece. But the most important point here for the Value Seeker is Tour Edge continues to deliver the best bang for your buck in the business.

Buy here.

Haywood Golf Signature Irons – $675

“Carefully crafted, consciously priced” – Haywood Golf’s signature irons are a two-piece hollow body design that incorporates a soft 431 stainless steel body welded to a hardened heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel face. The irons feature high launch characteristics and have proved a big hit with golfers, with progressively reduced offset designed to provide added forgiveness (more about the company here).

Buy here.

GoGoGoSport GS24 rangefinder – $70

70 bucks with a Black Friday discount? The Value Seeker loves that. Measuring range from 5 to 650 yards, with +/- 1m high accuracy and 6x magnification. The flagpole locking function supports a distance up to 150 yards (flagpole only) and 250 yards (aim the flag when it’s unfolded)

Buy here.

Kirkland Signature 3-piece wedge set – $169.99

The Kirkland Signature 3-piece golf wedge set dropped last year (read our launch piece here) and has provided players with a quality wedge set at a super affordable price. At just $169.99, golfers can have a 52 degree GW, 56 degree SW and 60 degree lob wedge, all with milled face technology without having to break the bank.

Buy here.

Whoop 4.0 – $30/month (+$30 to join)

How about having a personalized digital fitness and health cost all for an annual price of $360? Used by many Tour pros, including Justin Thomas and Nelly Korda, the Whoop 4.0 comes free with your membership and provides real-time feedback on your sleep, training, recovery, and health, plus in-app coaching features golfers and athletes optimize performance.

Through the Whoop app, you’ll be able to receive personalized insights and actionable feedback based on your unique data, behaviors, and goals — with a strain ‘coach’, sleep ‘coach’ as well as a behavioral journal to make sure you are at your optimal condition to start shooting low rounds.

Buy here.

Stitch SL1 Golf Bag – $208.80

With a current reduction of $140, value seekers won’t want to miss their chance of owning the Stitch SL1 golf bag. Weighing in at just 57 oz, the bag is designed using Stitch touring fabric in design for durability, lightweight as well as water resistance. 

Perfect for those that travel or players that walk the course, the SL1 bag is a minimalist’s dream with limited storage and a single strap for a vintage feel.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

on

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
