2. 2-Ply Professional Practice Emoji Golf Balls
(Kangaroo/Amazon)
Giving the Professional Emoji Golf Balls from Kangaroo as a gift are sure to get a chuckle upon opening. They’re made pretty well with 2-ply construction, but you probably wouldn’t want to play a round with them. They’re best for practice, like hitting into a net or on the putting green.
In the box of a dozen, you’ll receive two of each design — 2 tears of joy, 2 heart eyes, 2 kissy face, 2 tongue out, 2 money eyes, and 2 sunglasses. It’s a perfect gag gift for the golfer with a sense of humor … or the one who sends too many text messages.
If you want, you could always go with the traditional exploding golf ball 4-pack route.

4. Flair Hair Novelty Visor
(Flair Hair/Amazon)
Throw your usual foursome for a loop when you show up with a new look courtesy of Flair Hair. Their novelty visor comes complete with a spiky mop of hair, which can be had in a variety of colors.
The hat itself is 100 percent cotton and the hair 100 percent polyester. But it actually protects you, too. The visor keeps the sun out of your eyes, while the fake hair acts the part of a regular hat, blocking the sun as well. This particular visor comes with a built-in bottle opener under the lid. Nice touch. This item is available in various colors (visor and hair) and are adjustable so it’s one size fits most.

It has a high moment of inertia (MOI), which means the putter is more stable, and that will lead to more consistent and smooth rolls, even on off-center hits. It’s even got an alignment dot so you can the putter in the perfect position before your stroke.
As a bonus, you’ll also receive a putter cover and an Intech golf ball. This particular putter is 35 inches long and, unfortunately for you lefties out there, it’s only available in the right-handed style.
