At Golf 360 we know that having the right golf accessories can make a real difference to your performance and enjoyment on the course. As one of New Zealand’s largest stockists of golf equipment, gear, and accessories, we are here to help you get the most from your game, whether you play every week or a few times a season.
Here are ten accessories worth considering.
1. Golf rangefinders
Accurate distance measurement is one of the most valuable things a golfer can have. By giving you precise yardages to the flag, hazards or lay-up points, a rangefinder removes the guesswork and lets you commit to a club with confidence.
We stock Sureshot, Blue Tees, Bushnell and Garmin, with models covering everything from entry level through to units with slope adjustment, target lock and GPS integration. If you are trying to decide between brands, I have written about whether Bushnell rangefinders deserve the hype.
2. Quality golf gloves
A well-fitted glove improves grip and lets you hold the club without squeezing, which matters more than most golfers realise. It also protects your hands from blisters over a long round or range session.
We stock golf gloves from Titleist, FootJoy, Mizuno, Callaway and Wilson. If you are unsure whether you need one at all, have a read of should you wear a golf glove.
3. Premium or personalised golf balls
The ball you play influences distance, spin, feel and control, and it is one of the most overlooked parts of the bag. We stock golf balls from Titleist, Callaway, Bridgestone, Wilson, Volvik and Mizuno.
Personalised balls are also popular, making it easy to identify your ball on a crowded course. For help choosing, see what golf ball you should use.
4. Golf tees
Tees look like a minor detail, but tee height genuinely affects launch angle off the driver, and a consistent height makes your tee shots more repeatable.
We stock golf tees from Masters, Pride and Rite Hite, in wood, plastic, rubber and metal, including height-adjustable options designed for modern drivers.
5. Ball markers
Marking your ball on the green is basic etiquette and part of the rules. Our ball markers range from magnetic markers that clip to your glove or cap through to classic coin-style markers.
6. Golf towels
Even a small amount of mud or moisture on the clubface changes spin and distance. A towel keeps your clubs and grips dry, which matters a lot in a New Zealand winter.
We stock golf towels in microfibre, waffle and cotton.
7. Golf umbrellas
Our weather shifts quickly, and a good umbrella protects your clubs and grips as much as it protects you. Look for a vented canopy, which handles wind far better and is much less likely to invert.
We stock golf umbrellas from Titleist, Wilson, Ping, Callaway, Mizuno and Sun Mountain.
8. Golf club cleaning brushes
With the soft underfoot conditions common here through winter, dirt packs into your grooves quickly, and clogged grooves cost you spin on wedges and irons. A brush removes compacted debris far better than wiping the club on a towel.
We stock golf club cleaning brushes from Groove-It, Pride Sports and Masters, including clip-on designs and models with a built-in water spray.
9. Golf training aids
Improvement takes focused practice rather than just hitting more balls. Our golf training aids cover impact bags, putting mats, alignment tools and swing speed trainers, most of which work indoors so you can keep practising year round.
They are not all equally useful, and I have given my honest view in are golf training aids actually worth it.
10. MGI motorised golf trundlers
Carrying or pushing your bag over 18 holes takes a toll, and fatigue shows up in your swing on the closing holes. An electric trundler handles that for you, and MGI models cope well with hills, wet grass and uneven ground.
If you are weighing one up, see which MGI trundler you should buy.
