KING OF THE ROAD Cobra has posi- tioned itself over the last several years as one of the major in- novators in the highly competitive metal wood portion of the golf club market, and continues to do so with its Cobra King line of drivers. As an added amenity, every Cobra King club is equipped with an Ar- ccos sensor embedded in the grip, which allows golfers to automatically track the distance and accuracy of every drive when paired with the free smartphone app. "These drivers have a really unique feature, the Cobra connect grip, that gives you detailed informa- tion about your game," said Kerry Kabase, longtime vice president of purchasing at Edwin Watts and now a consultant for Worldwide Golf Shops. "It's the ,rst driver that's ever had something like that built in as part of the club." BUY NOW. FOR THE GOLFER WHO HAS EVERYTHING For those golfers on your list who may be a bit tricky to shop for, why not skip the challenge of picking something out and let them do the shopping? The Worldwide Golf Shops Gift Card allows you to do just that, whether it's for $5 or $1,000. "We often suggest gift cards around the holidays," said Matt Warner, Store Manager at the Vans Frank Lloyd Wright Superstore in Scottsdale, Arizona. "A lot of golfers either already have what they really need, or what they do need is really speci,c so they have to pick it out themselves. Gift cards are a nice gesture that says 'I know you love golf,' but it lets the golfers choose the right size glove or the exact golf ball that they play." BUY NOW.

"Hydro Flasks keep any beverage warm or cold, which is great when you're buying gifts for people from various climates," said Je Kinsley of Edwin Watts Golf in Florida. "It gets pretty hot here in the summer, and even then you can ,ll the Hydro Flask with ice and it will keep your drink cool all day on the course and even into the next day."
