Published

Nov 26, 2024

It’s that time of year again, GolfWRX members, as we begin daydreaming and 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. Unlike the other guides, these gift ideas will not suit any budget and are for big spenders only.

By popular demand, we’re again presenting our guide as a series as we did in years past, targeting “the purist,” “the gearhead,” “the value seeker,” “the golfer looking to improve,” “the stylish golfer,” and “the big spender.”

Here are our best recommendations for big spender in your life.

Full Swing Virtual Green

Could there be a more exciting and immersive putting experience indoors than this? If there is, we haven’t found it yet. Assuming you have a room large enough, and considering the price you do, this virtual green can be used to hone your skills or just have fun trying impossible putts with your friends.

Price: $80,900

Garmin MARQ Golfer Carbon Edition

When you hear the term “Fused Carbon Fiber” you would think we are talking about the latest driver or fairway wood, but no, Garmin has created the MARQ Golfer Carbon Edition case by milling 130 layers of carbon fiber.

The MARQ Golf Edition includes 43,000 courses, a virtual caddie, club tracking, green contour data, and way more to help you play your best.

Club Car Onward 4 Passenger XR Lithium

Having your own golf cart to bring to the course would be the best. You can customize your own Onward 4 Passenger XR Lithium with a lift kit, fancy wheels, luxury seating, and way more! The price starts at $11,655 but will quickly rise with all the available options. It does have 4 seats so you can bring the whole family out to the course for some fun.

Honma Beres 09 5S irons 5-SW (9 pieces)

Does anyone need irons that cost as much as an SUV? No, but they are quite cool. The Beres 09 are multi-piece forged irons with an Evolved Biased face structure that maximizes rebound for added ball speed. The back cavity badge has plenty of gold and used to dampen vibration for a soft feel. The new ARMRQ shafts use 70-ton pitch fiber against aluminum and Torayca MX prepped for distance and stability. The 5 Star version (5S) adds a strengthened bias core for more torsional return power.

Price: $53,460

Galvin Green Rainsuit Alister Jacket + Alpha Pant

When it comes to rain gear, few do it better than Galvin Green. The Alistar jacket is their flagship model that combines breathability, stretch, windproof, and waterproofing. Combining Galvin Green’s DRYVR technology with Gore-Tex C-knit fabric you get a garment that keeps mother nature’s worst out and the ability to swing effortlessly. Alpha pants use the same fabrics but add Techsteel on the leg hem and a split inseam for durability.

Price: $1,338

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

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.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
jgrzask: “Tommy Armour 845u
