More than any other hobby sport, golf constantly makes technological and stylistic breakthroughs with equipment and accessories. Here’s our curated guide to some of the best and most innovative new offerings, whether you’re shopping for an accomplished golfer, a newcomer to the game, or yourself.
Wilson D7 Irons
There’s only so much you can accomplish with your game if you have the wrong tools. With the “D” in Wilson’s D7 irons standing for distance, the new, straighter line of irons integrates RE-AKT technology to give golfers power where it’s needed most. Featuring three rows of Power Holes in the long irons and Wilson’s thinnest club face yet, the D7 irons ensure golfers get maximum distance due. The shorter irons have fewer power holes for optimal weighting and precise distance control. Available in sets for men or women, in graphite or steel. $599-699. https://www.wilson.com/en-us/golf/irons/d7
Bushnell Pro XE Laser Range Finder
PGA masters and side-betting amateurs are guaranteed a serious game advantage with the world’s best rangefinder. Far above par, Bushnell Golf’s Pro XE assesses distance for uphill and downhill shots with unparalleled Slope Technology, factors in temperature and barometric pressure, and the new “visual jolt” flashes when it locks onto the flag. $500. https://www.bushnellgolf.com/
Bushnell Phantom GPS Range Finder
The new Bushnell Phantom GPS range finder is just the thing to aid the recreational golfer. Lightweight and easy to read, it comes preloaded with more than 36,000 courses and provides simple measurements to the front, center and back distances of the green – along with up to four hazard and layup distances per hole. It’s handy too, easy to attach to a golf cart or any metal surface for quick yardage readings. $100. https://www.bushnellgolf.com/
Corvette Ogio Cart Bag
One of the coolest things about the game-changing 2020 mid-engine Corvette is that the trunk was specially designed to hold golf bags like this customized Ogio Cart Bag.

Features include the 9.5″ top with integrated grab handle and oversized putter pit; a zipper-less ball pocket; 6 zippered pockets; and fleece-lined valuables pocket; and embroidered 2020 Corvette flags. $285 https://corvettecollection.com/2020-corvette-ogior-cart-bag.html
