It’s that time of year again!
Without further ado, we bring you the
2019 Breakfast Ball Holiday Guide for the Golfer.
FootJoy
$109.99
Earlier this year we REVIEWED the FootJoy FLEX (image to the left). Since that review was posted I’ve found myself wearing the FLEX more than any other shoe. And I’m a MASSIVE fan of TRUE Linkswear. The FLEX offers excellent stability and amazing comfort, but where it lacked was waterproofing.
Not to fear! FootJoy wasn’t about to leave us without a versatile waterproof version of the FLEX and recently they have introduced the new FootJoy FLEX XP. We’ve yet to saddle the new shoes up but if they are in any way similar to the original FLEX they will be an outstanding option. Either early morning wet conditions or just a damp day on the course, we’re intrigued by this latest variant.
Good Walk Coffee Company
Coffee and Golf go together like peas and carrots. Whether it’s an early morning tee time or an after a round relaxer. I’m a huge fan of partaking in some java while enjoying my favorite game.
Good Walk Coffee Company is a new brand that we’ve gotten to know, and we’re huge fans. Their Breakfast Ball blend has been my go-to morning cup of joe since it’s arrival. With tons of swag as well as the coffee, Good Walk is off to a great start with a massive social media push. They’re our first “official” podcast sponsor.
Check them out, and be sure to hit up our affiliates page to grab a discount for your order.
Wilson Staff
$229.99
There’s a lot of reason to add some Wilson Staff gear to your bag. But, for us, the one club your golfer may desire without even knowing it is the new Wilson Staff Driving Iron.
Available in lofts of 18, 21, and 24, this new club from Wilson is stunning. But it’s a performer as well. It has quickly become my go-to club off the tee when a fairway is needed. Created as a prototype for players on the PGA Tour. This utility iron delivers an impressive combination of reliability, distance, and forgiveness.
AmpCaddy
There are a ton of options out there for golfers to get their tunes on the course. For us, though there’s only been one speaker, we’ve thrown our support behind, and that is AmpCaddy. Designed for the golfer by a golfer, the AmpCaddy line of speakers has tremendous value for enjoying music while on the course.
Their new versions are a big improvement over the previous line, and now with the customizable option, the AmpCaddy speakers are a hit in the tournament scene. If your golfer loves to listen to music while they play, then AmpCaddy would be an excellent gift choice.
North Coast Golf Co.
$26.00
Gloves are always an excellent choice for a gift. The majority of golfers out there wear a glove. What’s a better way to introduce your golfer to a high-quality, affordable, and performance-driven glove offered by North Coast Golf Co.
Made from premium materials and designed to last, the North Coast Golf Co. glove has surpassed all of my expectations and continues to be my go-to glove now and into next season. Please read our REVIEW, and you’ll understand why this would be a fantastic choice for the golfer in your life.

Swing Align
Let’s face it. The gift every golfer wants this Holiday Season is lower scores. With the Swing Align training aid, a more “connected” swing from a proper set-up position is achievable, as is a more stable and powerful move through the ball.
Swing Align was designed to help golfers set up square and hit shots solidly by providing a reliable visual indicator they can use to line up square to their intended target. The device uses muscle memory to develop a repeatable golf swing with more power and accuracy by keeping their arms and body synchronized when rotating.
On Swing Align’s web site, you’ll find seasonal offers and instructional tips from Golf Digest Top Young Teacher Devan Bonebrake, who says Swing Align is the best device he’s seen for improving Alignment, Connection, and Rotation, three of the most important elements that contribute to good impact.
V1 Golf Plus Mobile App
www.v1sports.com
For golfers dedicated to working on their swings and using video to see and connect with their swing instructor, there is the V1 Golf Plus Mobile App.

Golfers can also put their video side-by-side with a curated library of hundreds of Tour Player model swings, seek out monthly instructional content, and get premium support.
With the V1 Golf Plus Mobile App, it’s easy to find and receive an instant golf lesson from anywhere in the world with one of the 10,000+ teaching pros who use the V1 Pro teaching platform.

Galway Bay Rain Gear
If the golfer in your life dreams of traveling to play in Ireland, Scotland, or at Bandon Dunes, they’re going to want to bring quality rain gear. Galway Bay’s premium rain jacket and true-to-size rain pants have been named “Best Rain Gear” for two straight years by MyGolfSpy’s panel of reviewers.
Galway Bay rainwear stands apart in the industry with lightweight, breathable fabrics that allow golfers to stretch and move freely while staying warm and dry. Designed by expert tailors and using 100-percent-waterproof and 100-percent-breathable materials, Galway Bay’s outerwear was developed to be a refreshing, fashion-forward alternative to bulky, ill-fitting and uncomfortable rain gear.
Galway Bay’s pants, which feature belt loops, a seven-inch zipper, and nine-inch-deep pockets, and incorporate the same fabric used for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, are designed to look like and be worn as golf slacks, eliminating the need to dress in layers. The pants can be ordered to fit a golfer’s exact waist and inseam sizes, optimizing comfort, fit, and style like no other rain pant ever has.
The all-weather Galway Bay jacket is available in multiple color options and features a softer, quieter fabric than typical rain gear and rubberized waterproof zippers.
