Meet Chris

I founded Groovy Golfer and the family of Groovy personalized-gift brands. I am an 11 handicap, and most of my rounds these days are with my son Tobey, who is catching up to me faster than I would like.

Why you can trust these guides

For five years running I have walked the PGA Show, the largest golf trade show in the world. I also spent years at Reed Exhibitions, the company that puts the show on, so I get a firsthand look at the newest gear, gifts, and trends before they reach the shelves. When something shows up in a guide here, it is because I have seen the field and think it is worth your money.

A decade obsessing over personalization

I have been making personalized gifts since 2013. Laser engraving, embroidery, UV printing, I know what each one does well and where it lets you down. A name engraved on the wrong material or printed at the wrong size can ruin an otherwise great gift, so we sweat those details. George knows this craft as well as I do. We want your gift to look like you meant it, because you did.

A small family business that loves this game

Groovy Golfer started as a wedding and groomsmen gift shop. Our love of golf took over, and we leaned all the way in. Today we are a small family business built around the games we love, golf and baseball. George and I work side by side, answer our own phones, and treat your outing like it is one of ours. You are not buying from a faceless catalog. You are working with two guys who love this game and the people we make gifts for.
