Prime Day is technically a sales event, but for me, it's also the unofficial start of holiday shopping. I'm truly fortunate to say that I spend a lot of time around golf gear, so when I find great deals or unique stuff, I have to share it with you. This year, I decided to put my money where my mouth is. I bought gifts for myself and for quite a few people on my list. These are the five Prime Day Deals I actually bought.
Yes, I already own this putter. I also firmly believe you need a backup putter.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: the Odyssey 2-Ball Cruiser might be the greatest putter of all time. The 2-Ball alignment system is still one of the easiest and most intuitive ways to line up a putt, and the longer Cruiser setup adds so much stability and confidence that makes the whole thing feel like a cheat code.
Here's the kicker: this one is $200 at Golf Galaxy, which is actually $65 cheaper than the Prime Day price on Amazon. That alone is a good reminder that Amazon is not always the best, or only, place to shop during Prime Day.
At $200, I didn't think twice. I now have a backup of one of my favorite putters ever, and I got it for an absolute steal. I cannot express how good this putter is, and I really cannot express how good this price is.
I'm always one to keep a healthy stockpile of golf balls I actually like, and the Vice Pro+ is my ball of choice from Vice.
Our 2026 testing backed up why. The Pro+ was one of the highest-spinning balls in the entire test and ranked in the top five percent for full-wedge spin, making it a particularly strong option for mid- to high-speed players who prioritize stopping power around the greens.
Vice still has these listed at $41.99 per dozen on its own site. At $28.45 a dozen, Amazon's October Prime Day brings them down well below that. This a seriously good opportunity to stock up.
I bought them because I already know I like them. At this price, I bought four boxes.
We live in a world where the Orange Whip costs $119. I've always wanted one, but never got one because I'm not spending over $100 on a training aid.
So, when I saw the Amazon Basics Golf Swing Trainer for $34.42, it was an instant buy.
I'm not expecting it to be quite as good as the Orange Whip, but as a fan of Epicurean philosophy, I'm a big believer in "good enough." I'm also not a good enough golfer to convince myself that I need a $100-plus training aid.
This should still do what I want it to do: help with tempo, sequencing and speed while giving me something useful to swing at home. At this price, it's going to get a lot of use.
Ever since I saw the grey camo Stitch SL2 Gen 2, I've wanted a grey camo golf bag. I just never pulled the trigger. As someone who keeps quite a few bags in the rotation, I can now proudly say that I will finally be the owner of one.
For October Prime Day, Amazon has the Sun Mountain Eclipse 3.5 down to $186. I felt pretty good about buying it, too, because we rated the Eclipse 3.5 as one of the best Sun Mountain walking bags of 2025. I know I'm getting a quality walking bag from a brand that knows how to make them, and I'm getting it for a really good price.
I finally got my grey camo bag. Better yet, I got a darn good one.
I mentioned the adidas Tech Response yesterday and, at $41.17, you best believe I practiced what I preached and bought a pair.
I hate taking my nicer golf shoes to range sessions, and that's exactly what these are going to be for. Shoot, they'll probably double as my bad-weather shoes, too.
In the McGahee household, we call beaters mud-shuckers. That's exactly what these are going to be.
For a little over $40, I got a pair of shoes I can wear to the range, in the rain, in the mud and pretty much anywhere else I don't want to risk ruining something nicer.
Let's call a spade a spade: at first glance, the Izzo Golf Swami Launch Master looks an awful lot like the Shot Scope LM1. The LM1 is already one of the better values in the launch-monitor category at around $200, offering basic but useful data like club speed, ball speed, smash factor, carry distance and total distance. The Izzo appears to be playing in a very similar lane.
The difference is the price.
At $88.92, I honestly said, "What the heck?" and bought one. I obviously haven't tested it yet, so I'm not going to pretend I know how accurate or polished it is, but a launch monitor for under $100 is fascinating on its own.
If it performs even reasonably well, this could be a world-beater for the money. And if it doesn't? It was a cheap experiment.
Either way, I'm really excited to try this one.
My dad has been talking about finally getting into golf, and I've spent the past few months looking for a starter set that didn't feel like complete junk.
As a golf nerd, I also remember when Adams Idea clubs were legitimately excellent, so when I saw this full package set on sale for $500, I decided to take the plunge.
I liked the look, the reviews were encouraging and, for a complete set at this price, figured it's low-risk.
For a newer golfer, $500 for a full set of clubs that at least has some real golf DNA behind it is a very good deal.
Dad, I hope you're not reading this.
