The most romantic day of the year is almost here. Skip the cliché boxes of chocolates or overpriced bouquets of flowers that will wilt by the weekend and treat your Valentine right by giving them a more personalized gift. Valentine’s Day golf gifts are tough to come by, but these gift ideas will warm their heart and (hopefully) improve their golf game. And what’s more romantic than lowering your handicap in the offseason?
Trigger Point GRID Foam Roller
So maybe giving your loved one a gift that says ‘massage yourself’ isn’t the most romantic message, but their muscles will appreciate the effort. Putting a foam roller into play can enhance warm-ups, promote quicker recovery and help prevent injuries. It’s also a great tool to incorporate into core workouts for an added strength challenge. If pink isn’t your color, this roller comes in a variety of colors and patterns. This gift is one they’ll use all year round, so in the long run it’s technically a pretty intimate gift, but perhaps pair it with some candies to add a little extra romance.
G/FORE Roses Disruptor Golf Shoe
A dozen roses is the most classic—albeit overpriced—Valentine’s Day gift there is. Put those dollars to better use with these G/FORE golf shoes. A Bubba Watson favorite, these kicks are made with 100 percent waterproof leather and are extremely lightweight. The mesh cotton lining is antimicrobial to keep things fresh and the triple density foam cushion footbed adds comfort.
