Holiday wish list: These 7 pieces of golf outerwear make perfect gifts

The leaves are turning, Halloween is just a month away, and savvy shoppers know what that means: The holiday shopping season is already upon us!

It seems like the shops begin to stock twinkling lights and festive decor earlier and earlier with each passing year, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned as a mom of two young kids, it’s this: Fortune favors the prepared when it comes to ticking off all the boxes on your holiday shopping list, and you’ll never regret getting an early start.

These versatile pieces of apparel made packing for my golf trip a breeze

By: Jessica Marksbury

When it comes to shopping for the golfer in your life, outerwear is one of my favorite categories. Not only is it a necessary piece of equipment for cold-weather golf, it’s also multifunctional, and can be enjoyed for years both on and off the course.

Here in Arizona, jacket-weather season is pretty short. But I tend to wear my outerwear pieces year-round — as a buffer against icy AC temperatures, or when I happen to be out and about in the early morning and late evening.

Below are seven of my favorite outerwear pieces of the season. Each is one I would be absolutely thrilled to receive as a holiday gift. One thing I noticed as I compiled this list? Golf outerwear for women is downright fashionable lately, with trendy checkered prints, fitted waists and cropped silhouettes.

So whether you’re browsing for your own wish list or getting an early start on gifts for others, here’s hoping these warm and cozy options provide some shopping inspiration.
