The 6 golf items our staff can’t live without

Daphne’s Headcovers. My Daphne’s headcover has lasted me over 10 years now. I can’t recommend them enough because for one, they’re simply adorable, and two, their plushiness keeps my favorite club (the driver) nicely protected. — Marley Sims

Daphne’s Headcovers

$39.99

Realistic animal headcovers that will make you smile and last for years.

A scorecard holder. Any scorecard holder will do. I try and walk as much as possible when I play, and the scorecard holder is just one big reminder that I shouldn’t be riding in a cart. — Sean Zak

Bluegrass Fairway Handmade Leather Golf Scorecard Holder

$90

This piece is made from genuine, full grain, tanned leather.

Scotty Cameron Pivot tool. Call me bougie, I don’t care, the divot repair tools from Scotty Cameron are the best looking and most functional (I found a blue one years ago). This is my can’t-live-without-it golf item because it’s the most important one to leaving the course in better shape than you found it. — Jack Hirsh

Titleist Scotty Cameron Pivot Repair Tool

$24.99

This tool’s unique design provides more leverage when repairing ball marks and is environmentally sound for the greens.

Seamus Golf headcovers. I never used to be a head cover guy, but with the ability to find something that actually represented me beyond the golf course I’ve become one and I’ve had my Seamus cover for years now. — Ryan Barath

Seamus Golf Headcovers

$75+

Unique head covers that help you and your clubs stand out with your own personal style.

The Short Game Gains Putting Mirror. Putting has always been my strength, but I’ve noticed a big uptick in makes from inside 10 feet since I started using this mirror on the practice green. It’s a simple tool that keeps me mindful of my setup. It’s easy to throw in the bag and use whenever you want. — Jonathan Wall

Short Game Gains Signature Stainless Steel Putting Mirror

$89.99

Your golf practice just got way more effective! The Signature Stainless Steel Putting Mirror is made of high-strength stainless steel and gives you picture-perfect clarity (no weird distortion!) when you look down at the ball. It has an included ruler for measuring stance and setup, and the ruler doubles as a shoulder alignment mirror when you flip it over. Genius! It’s double-sided. plus it comes with adhesive silicone protection strips to keep your putter from scratching the surface without affecting the roll of the ball. With slots in key points to make your own tee gates, you can work on setup, path, eye line, start line, and more at one single station. Indoor Practice? No problem. Use the included marbles for start line work in the off-season.

Footjoy rain gloves. Look, folks. The greatest inventions solve problems simply. These bad boys are my Seattle winter security blanket. And because I like the look of a white golf glove, it’s nice to slip on a rain glove that feels and looks familiar. Buy ‘em. — Dylan Dethier

$23.99

The autosuede™ knit palm provides an unmatched grip in wet or humid conditions.
