Let's face it—golfers can be peculiar. How we play is never our fault. Either the clubs are not playing well, the weather is not perfect, or the group in front of us is too slow, there is always something out of our control to blame. Worse still, we all turn into fashionistas—just ask John Daly.

Buying the right golf gifts for your beloved golfer—whether for the man or woman in your life, the new player, the junior golfer, the retiring golfer, or the parent or grandparent—can therefore be a bit of a challenge.

So I have a few ideas for finding the right complement and essential piece of equipment for that special golfer in your life, without having to get the latest news and drawn out updates on their golf games.

1. Tour Edge Lady Edge Women's Full Complete Set

Are you looking for the right complete set for the new woman golfer you know? Picking up the game of golf is a fun challenge and having the right set to do it with is always important. Improving at the game of golf means using the right clubs for each shot, with the proper shaft weight, length, and flex to propel our power and ability to achieve straighter distance. Being new at the game makes it even more necessary to have as many clubs possible with the right specifications and technology to learn the game properly and get more enjoyment out on the golf course. Offered in petite to fit ladies 5'5 and shorter, standard length, or 1 inch longer for ladies over 5'9, Tour Edge has the beginner woman player's needs all covered in this highly played complete set.

2. Cleveland CBX2 Wedges

Having newer and higher-quality wedges is important to every player. Grooves in a wedge can wear after time, making it difficult to spin the golf ball and prevent it from rolling away from the target. Regardless of how long the rest of the set lasts in the bag, wedges typically need to be replaced many years sooner, so getting a new wedge or set of wedges can make anyone's golf day simpler. The majority of golfers play a forgiving, cavity-backed iron, and these wedges from Cleveland are designed to complement those types of irons in performance and feel to allow players to easily transition from iron game to wedge game. A versatile, forgiving wedge, the CBX2 is a great gift idea to replace a wedge or set of wedges and quickly improve the golfer in your life's scores.

3. Cobra SPEEDZONE Fairway Wood

Many golfers struggle to hit a good shot off the fairway or need a powerful alternative club to the driver to perform well from the teebox. If the golfer your gift is for is disgruntled with their 3-wood, or you know they could use an easier fairway wood to hit, look no further than the Cobra SPEEDZONE. Built with face technology intended to help exactly how mid to higher handicap golfers miss this shot, AND an adjustable hosel that enables players to change the loft to fit what height they need on the shot and change face angle to help if they miss right or left, this fairway wood gives players great control over this shot, which makes this an exceptional gift idea. An understanding of the flex the player uses and what fairway wood distance gap the new fairway is meant to fill is a perfect starting point to ensure the club fits in with the rest of your favorite golfer's equipment.

4. TaylorMade SIM Max Driver

Everyone loves a new, more powerful driver. Hitting it long off the tee and being in the middle of the fairway makes for more confidence, more enjoyment, and lower scores. Designed for the average player, the SIM Max is the optimal choice for a vast array of golfers, and with the right specifications, would be an amazing gift for nearly any player. Understanding just a few things about how the golfer in your life swings and what they are playing now in the woods and driver—including the shaft flex and loft—would be helpful to ensure they get the best specifications in the new driver.

10. Titleist ProV1 Golf Balls

So far on this list, I haven't recommended any gifts for the lower handicap, more accomplished player. Their games may be too individualistic and need too specific equipment to make recommendations without a lengthy discussion with them. Perhaps the perfect gag gift—a book of funny golf quotes—or getting advice from their golf pro would be helpful to iron out a great gift. Or possibly, gifting the number one golf ball on the PGA Tour: the incredibly popular ProV1 golf ball. You can hardly go wrong with this gift for this type of player as they can always trade in for the ProV1X at any typical golf shop. If you're unsure what to get the scratch golfer in your life, try a dozen ProVs. They will know you respect their hard work.

11. Cobra SPEEDZONE XTREME Junior Driver

This is the ideal gift for a big brother or sister, or junior or high school golfer with a powerful, advancing love and ability at the game of golf who needs a stellar driver that matches their trajectory. Possibly my favorite idea for a golf gift as a PGA Junior League Coach, Instructor, and a junior golfer back in the day! Using a single fixed back 17-gram weight to work with lighter and shorter length shafts, the Junior SPEEDZONE offers all the incredible face technology in the same SPEEDZONE XTREME design but optimized to launch a junior swing.

14. TaylorMade SIM Max Hybrid

A few golfers have difficulty hitting longer irons in the 3, 4, and 5-irons, and sets are typically built without a 3-iron so players can switch to these easier-to-launch hybrids. One of the best designs, with twist-face technology to keep off-center hits going long, the TaylorMade SIM Max Hybrid is offered in a few different lofts, meaning it will help this player get improved distance from this shot. Whether the golfer in your life needs an older hybrid replaced or would like to try this type of club to fill those longer iron shots in their set, they would greatly benefit from having this club in their bag.
