4 Christmas Stocking Stuffers to Sweeten the Holidays
With Christmas just seven weeks away, it’s no longer too early to think about how to stuff the stocking of your favorite avid golfer. Here are four hand-selected suggestions.
Arccos Golf GPS Stat Tracking System
Billed as the golf industry’s first real-time stat tracking system, Arccos Golf ($400 suggested retail) maps, measures and records every shot taken during a round of golf. The smartphone app utilizes GPS and Bluetooth technology to automatically capture critical data—club distances, putts per round, greens hit in regulation, driving accuracy and more—to help players identify patterns and refine strategy. Just pair a sensor to each club just once and you’ll get all your stats right in your hand, instantly. arccosgolf.com

Plus, a percentage of each sale ($28-$32, including FedEx shipping) is donated to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation to support pediatric programs and hospitals nationwide. nicklaus.com
