Pair a wearable piece with a small bag upgrade. Hats, towels, markers, gloves, and balls make the cart feel more intentional.
When in doubt, avoid complicated sizing and buy useful gear under $60. It is easier to gift and more likely to make it to the course.

Quick Questions
The best golf birthday gifts are: (1) a cabretta glove 3-pack ($32) — used within two rounds, (2) a milled ball marker set — something every golfer wants but skips buying, (3) a quality clip-on towel ($18) — gets used every round, (4) a GPS watch ($149) — the premium birthday gift that changes every round. All useful every single round.
Get them the consumables they always run out of — a premium glove 3-pack, a box of the exact ball they play, or a fresh set of grips. Or go premium: a GPS watch, a laser rangefinder, or a leather scorecard holder. These are the gifts every golfer wants but would not buy themselves.
Under $50: a microfiber clip-on towel ($18) + groove sharpener ($22) = $40 and looks like a considered gift set. A bamboo tee set ($8) + ball marker ($28) = $36 for the bag-staple gift. Or a single cabretta glove 3-pack ($32) — practical, immediately needed, used within one round.
