It’s all about layering your best golf clothes in winter so you can stay warm and dry and still be able to comfortably swing a club. Women will love this long-sleeve top, which is available in three different color options and brought alive by an eye-catching pattern on the side and sleeve panels. The fabric is noticeably soft and stretchy and you can comfortably wear at least one or even two additional thin layers underneath.

Socks are always on my Christmas list, you can never have too many pairs! These from adidas are no-show length, so they are also great for everyday use to wear with trainers. One of the most annoying things with golf socks is that they start slipping down a few holes into a round, but these are really comfortable, they are nicely padded at the heel and toe and have compression arch support.

Nobody likes playing golf in the rain, but at least this GORE-TEX waterproof hat keeps your head completey dry. The wide brim at the back means that rain doesn’t tricke down your neck and because it’s a lightweight fabric it’s also comfortable to wear. Yes, it’s expensive, but given the number of times you might find yourself golfing in the rain, it’s one of the best women's hats on the market.

Winter golf boots are definitely the way forward at this time of year and any female golfer will be thrilled to receive this pair from Duca del Cosma on Christmas morning. In true Italian style, they look fabulous with a vintage effect design in a soft Nappa leather - too good to wear in muddy conditions! I can vouch they are waterproof and the fleece lining keeps feet warm, plus traction is very good, so a great all-rounder.

By far one of the best pieces FootJoy have ever produced. This hoodie feels feather soft to touch and thanks to the fleece inside it keeps you warm and dry. But don’t worry as you won’t get too cosy in this one. Thermoseries is designed to adapt to conditions so will keep you at an optimum temperature and comfortable whatever the weather throws at you. The navy goes with everything and the canal blue is striking.

You might not want to wear a woolly hat, but it’s definitely a wise move to keep your ears warm during chilly months. Sabbot has a great variety of head gear including this Linda headband, which comes in six vibrant colors that will brighten up any outfit and fairway! This band is nice and wide and with a cosy fleece lining, it's a great accessory for a winter wardrobe.

No real need to wrap up a brolly, you can guess what it is, so while it might not be the most exciting gift, every golfer needs a decent umbrella and this one definitely fits the bill. It’s longer than standard golf umbrellas, the auto-open mechanism makes it quick and easy to use, but the best thing is that it has two clear viewing panels so you can see what’s ahead of you while keeping dry.

From the high street to the golf course, you can’t go wrong with a fashionable beanie to finish off your golf outfit. There are plenty of golf hats to choose from, but the knitted beanie from Puma is a great option. It comes in two colors with a matching bobble and a deep turn-up hem, but most importantly, it’s warm and comfortable to wear for winter golf.

When it’s really cold, winter mitts are a saving grace so you can still feel your hands! What’s particularly good about this pair from Surprizeshop is that the all-weather palm means there’s no need to take them off, you can still grip a club. The fleece lining is warm and soft, they have a longer cuff to protect your wrists and the toggle adjustment allows a perfect fit. An ideal stocking filler.

Of course, you don’t want to upset someone on Christmas Day by suggesting they are a bad putter, but there’s always room for improvement and the PuttOut Putting Mat is one of the best putting mats out there. It comes in three sizes and with rubber backing, it rolls flat out of the packaging with distance markings up to 6ft, alignment lines and pace targets, plus it’s also easy to roll up and store. 

If you really want to spoil someone who might have already made subtle hints about wanting a helping hand to achieve greater accuracy, then the Bushnell Tour V5 is one of the best rangefinders on the market. It’s really simple to use, nice and slim - all you do is point it at the flag and it quickly and clearly displays the distance. You can also use the button on the side to access Bushnell’s slope technology for more precise distances.

You might fancy taking this bottle on a ramble as the name suggests, but this is such a useful gift for the golfer in your life. It comes in a choice of stainless and DuraCoat colors that don’t peel or crack. The handle comes off quickly and the design of the spout means that it’s easy to take a controlled sip of a hot or cold drink from tee to green. Plus, it’s dishwasher safe.

Whatever your budget, there is an array of golf gifts that will appeal to everyone, so I hope we have given you some ideas to make your Christmas (and others) one to remember!
