Buying for a golfer is harder than it looks. They already own the clubs they like, they are fussy about balls, and another sleeve of tees will vanish into the bottom of the bag by spring. This guide sets out personalised golf gifts that are about the person rather than the equipment, with ideas for every age, for men and women, and for Christmas, birthdays and retirement. You can browse every design in our sports and fitness prints collection, which covers more than 50 sports.

What do you buy a golfer who has everything?
Golfers who have everything still lack one thing: a record of their own game. The scorecards get thrown away, the stories get told less often, and the bucket-list rounds fade into “that trip a few years back”. A word art print keeps all of that in one place, shaped like something from the game they love. Here are the four core designs and who each one suits.
1. The Personalised Golf Word Art Print: for any golfer, any age
This is the all-rounder: a golfer silhouette made entirely from words you choose. It has no age or milestone built in, so it works for a birthday, Christmas, a club championship win or simply because. It suits the single-figure player with years of competition history just as well as the weekend hacker who loves the game despite it rarely loving them back.
Words to put on it: their name, home club, current handicap and target handicap, favourite courses, the hole they always talk about, playing partners’ names, and a few phrases that sum them up on the course, such as “never lost a ball he couldn’t blame on the wind” or “best putter in the four-ball”.
2. The Personalised Golf Bag Word Art Print: for the kit obsessive
Some golfers can tell you the loft of every club in their bag and why they swapped their hybrid last season. The golf bag shape is the natural fit for them. Fill it with what is in the bag and where it has been.
Words to put on it: their clubs and the nicknames they give them, the courses the bag has travelled to, the society or club they play with, their caddie or regular partner, and the shot they are proudest of.
3. The Golf Ball Word Art Print: for a cleaner, modern look
The golf ball design is simple and round, which suits a home office, a study or a modern living room where a full figure might feel too busy. It also works well as a joint gift from a whole four-ball or society, because there is room for a lot of names.
Words to put on it: every member of the society, the trophies they have played for, the courses on the annual trip, and the in-jokes that come out at the 19th hole.
4. The Female Golfer Word Art Print: for the woman on the first tee
Plenty of golf gifts are designed with men in mind. This print is shaped as a female golfer, so she sees herself in it rather than a generic figure. We cover more ideas for her in the women golfers section below.
Words to put on it: her name, her club, her handicap, ladies’ section friends, competitions she has won, her captaincy year if she has had one, and the course she most wants to play next.
If the golfer you are buying for is also hard to shop for in general, our guide to gifts for the man who has everything has more ideas beyond the course.
What is a good golf gift for a milestone birthday?
Milestone birthdays are where personalised golf gifts make the most sense, because you are marking a whole stretch of their golfing life, not just one round. Each of these prints has the age built into the design, and you fill the rest with highlights up to that birthday.
18th and 20th: for young golfers
The Golf 18th Word Art Print and Golf 20th Word Art Print suit junior members who have grown up at the club. Include their first club, the junior competitions they played, the coach who taught them, their first handicap and where it is now, and the friends they came through the junior section with. A print like this often ends up on a student bedroom wall, so a digital download or an unframed print can be the practical choice.
30th and 40th: for the golfer at their peak
By 30, most keen golfers have a home club, a regular four-ball and at least one golf trip story. The Golf 30th Birthday Word Art Print and Golf 40th Birthday Word Art Print are a good fit for these. Add their lowest round, the course where they got their first birdie or eagle, and the trips with friends. For more 40th ideas, see our guide to 40th gifts for him.
50th and 60th: for the dedicated club member
By 50 or 60 there are decades of rounds to draw on. The Golf 50th Birthday Word Art Print and Golf 60th Birthday Word Art Print have room for club roles (captain, committee, treasurer), the trophies they have won, the friends they have played with for years, and the courses they have travelled to. Our guide to 60th birthday gifts for him has further ideas if golf is only one of his interests.
70th, 80th and 90th: for a lifetime in the game
For older golfers, the Golf 70th Birthday Word Art Print, Golf 80th Word Art Print and Golf 90th Word Art Print become a family keepsake. Ask children and grandchildren to contribute words: the course where he taught them to play, the holes-in-one, the club he has been a member of for decades, and the phrases everybody associates with him. This is also a good choice for a golfer who no longer plays as much, because it celebrates what they have done rather than what they need next.
What are good golf gifts for women?
Women golfers are sometimes handed gifts designed for men, or something pink and generic. A better choice is the Female Golfer Word Art Print, which is shaped as a woman golfer and is filled with her own golfing story. It is a thoughtful gift for a wife, mum, sister, friend or playing partner.
- For a birthday: her handicap journey, the courses she has played and the ladies’ section friends she plays with every week.
- For Mother’s Day: include the children’s names alongside her club and favourite course, especially if she taught them to play.
- For a captaincy year or competition win: the year, the club, the trophy, her winning score and the names of the women she played with in the final.
For a milestone birthday you can also use any of the numbered golf prints above, which work for women as well as men; just fill them with her details.
What are the best Christmas gifts for golfers?
Searches for golf gifts rise sharply through November and December, and it is easy to end up with the same gadgets everyone else is buying. A personalised print stands out under the tree because it is clearly about them. A few practical tips for Christmas:
- Order framed prints early. Framed prints ship within 3–5 working days in the UK and 7–15 days internationally, so leave a little extra time in the December rush.
- Short on time? A digital download is instant. You can print it at home or at a local print shop, or simply send the file with a card.
- Secret Santa at the golf club? A digital download or unframed print from £9.99 fits most budgets and still feels personal.
- Add the year. Putting the year and a few highlights of their season on the print turns it into a record of that year’s golf.
What should you buy a golfer for Father’s Day or retirement?
Father’s Day falls in the middle of the golf season, so a print he can hang near his clubs or in his study is a natural fit. The Personalised Golf Word Art Print works best here: fill it with the things he and the family share, such as the course where you all played together, his advice on the first tee, and the sayings the children have heard a hundred times.
Retirement is often when golf moves from weekends to most days of the week, which makes a golf print a good leaving gift from colleagues. A golf bag print filled with colleagues’ names, the courses on his retirement list and a few lines from work is something he will keep. For more ideas, read our guide to personalised retirement gifts.

What words should you put on a golf print?
The words are what make the gift. A print with forty generic golf terms looks like a poster; a print with forty details from their own game looks like them. Aim for 40 to 80 words or short phrases, and make two or three of them stand out (usually their name, their club and the occasion). Here are three example word lists you can copy and adapt.
Example 1: a 60th birthday for a long-time club member
- Big words: Dave, 60, Golf, Captain
- His club: home club name, member since the year he joined, captain’s year, Saturday medal, Wednesday roll-up
- His game: handicap 12, lowest round 74, hole in one on the 7th, best drive on the 1st
- Courses: the links course from the Scotland trip, the course from his first society day, the one on the bucket list
- People: the names of his regular four-ball, his partner, his children and grandchildren
- Phrases: “fore!”, “one more round”, “it was a good lie”, “always in the bunker on 14”, “pays for the drinks when he loses”
Example 2: a Christmas gift for a woman golfer
- Big words: Sarah, Golfer, Christmas and the year
- Her club: club name, ladies’ section, Tuesday stableford, the competition she won this season
- Her game: handicap down from 28 to 19, first birdie, best putt, longest drive
- People: her playing partners, her coach, family names
- Phrases: “straight down the middle”, “queen of the short game”, “coffee after nine holes”, “next stop: single figures”
Example 3: a retirement gift from colleagues
- Big words: Mike, Retired, Golf, Every Day
- Work: company or department name, years of service, colleagues’ names
- The plan: courses on his retirement list, “Monday morning tee time”, “no more meetings”, “handicap target: single figures”
- The jokes: “finally time to fix that slice”, “out of office: on the course”, “the office sweepstake champion”
Tips for choosing words: mix sizes, so short words (ace, par, chip) sit between longer ones; use real names and places rather than general terms; ask a playing partner for two or three in-jokes; and include the date or year so the print records a moment in time.
