Looking to say thank you to some of the men in your life who have supported you in your rise to career success? Whether you’re looking for a gift for your significant other, father, brother, best friend, mentor or work colleague, we’ve pulled together a list of some of our favorite gifts for golf lovers from chic apparel by Ashworth Golf and Peter Millar to the perfect driver from TaylorMade and even some recommended cigars from one of the oldest and largest cigar distributors, Mike’s Cigars in Miami, Florida.  A thoughtful gift is the perfect way to let loved ones know that you appreciate everything they do for you.

For Guys Who Want to Look Sporty & Chic on the Course – who says men can’t look both sporty and chic on the golf course? In the 1980’s, Ashworth Golf’s co-founders recognized the need for more stylish golf apparel for men, so in 1988, they launched a company focused on just that. We love the sporty, yet stylish apparel from Ashworth Golf. A few of our favorites:

• PRIMATEC Microdot Golf Shirt – you’d never know this trendy navy polo shirt is optimized for comfort on the course. Pair with The Performance Stretch Pant, in Graphite, and a leather cotton belt in light blue & navy, and this look can go from the links to drinks at your favorite cocktail bar.
• Pima Cotton Pullover Sweater – as the weather cools down during the fall and winter months, a pullover is a must on the course. It’s offered in multiple colors, but our favorite is the Legion Blue. It pairs great with tan or grey performance pants.
• Quilted Tweed Vest – for days that are extra chilly, add a stylish vest to your golfing ensemble.  We love this Graphite Quilted Tweed Vest. It pairs well with the Wind Lined Pullover Sweater.

For Golfers Swinging for the Green – In 1979, Gary Adams took out a $24,000 and founded the TaylorMade Golf Company focused on a single, innovative product: a 12-degree driver cast of stainless steel. Now one of the largest golf equipment manufacturers in the world, at TaylorMade, the driver is still king. TaylorMade’s M1 (Men’s) and M2 (Ladies and Juniors) drivers are a force to be reckoned with. Give a gift that will last a lifetime with a brand new driver for the golfer in your life. Featured Products:

• M1 Driver – M stands for Multi-Material and it’s the key that unlocks performance in M1. Featuring an ultra-thin, ultra-light and high-strength carbon composite crown, this driver was a favorite for our resident golfer. And sure to make a great gift.
• Custom Golf Balls – TaylorMade golf balls are built for performance and distance. Customize a box with personalized text and logos for avid golfers.
• Microsoft Golf Band – Put away your phone and track your golf game and your health right on your wrist with Microsoft Band and TaylorMade. The perfect gift for golf enthusiast and gadget lovers.

For Golf and Outdoor Enthusiasts Looking for Luxury Apparel – look no further than Peter Millar. The Peter Millar clothing line is a new favorite at SharpHeels and sure to make it into gift boxes for all of the men in our lives. Founded in 2001, with a design center in Raleigh, N.C., the Peter Millar brand is for affluent men who demand the highest quality of sportswear on the golf course, in the office, and for a jaunt around town. A few of our favorites:

• Maxwell Lined Quarter-Zip Pullover – with a wind-resistance poly lining, this soft merino wool pullover is not only stylish, but will keep you warm all day. We love the rich hue of Pomegranate, paired with the Charlotte Performance Trouser in Ash. Add a black stretch jersey polo for the course, or a Plaid Sport Shirt and the Steamboat Leather Jacket  for running around town after a round.
• Conover Quarter-Zip Hybrid Sweater – with a water-repellent finish, this black pullover is sure to keep you warm and dry on the course. Pair with the Charlotte Performance Trouser in Ash or for extra wet days the Fleming Rain Pant.

For the Gentlemen Who Enjoy a Cigar on the Course – Founded by Mike Mersel in 1950 in Miami Beach, Florida, Mike’s Cigars is one of the oldest and largest cigar distributors in the United States. As recognized experts in the cigar industry, Mike’s Cigar’s expanded their distribution to the internet in 2010 and now serve cigar lovers all over the world. Their experts pulled together a few of the best cigar samplers and most popular gifts:

• My Father Toro Selection – Expertly crafted by the renowned father-son team in Estelí, Nicaragua, this premium line of handmade cigars incorporate the traditional Cuban entubado style bunching (a process where the long filler leaves are rolled into tubes rather than bunched) thus enabling the cigars to burn and draw perfectly.

Ranging from medium to full in body and crafted in the Dominican Republic. This gift box features five premium Cohiba cigars cradled in cedar wood to enhance this ultimate expression of luxury.
